> If you want the most noticeable effect, use a large, powerful stationary magnet (the bigger the better) and pass it directly over the top of your head about 30 times. I notice that this has a 'resetting' and anti-anhedonic effect.
I've been using a magnet to improve my sleep since January. It's from qmagnets.com in Australia. The type of magnet I use is called a QF28-6. I use a Wilson tennis headband to keep the magnet in place at the top of my forehead, just below my hairline, on the left side. Using a watch cap, I've experimented with different placements all over my head. Wearing a magnet on the right side of my head for a few hours made me feel anxious. I wear the magnet 2-4 hours daily or every other day. When I go for a few days without wearing it, the sleep benefits start to fade.
I've also experimented with several different placements on other parts of my body. I use wristbands to keep the QF28-6 on the insides of my forearms (I wear two of the magnets simultaneously), about two inches above my wrist crease (this is called the Pericardium-6 acupoint). I wear them like this for a few hours. This has a stimulating effect on me, and sometimes gives me a feeling of well being that lasts for the rest of the day.
