People already live in different altitudes, ie with vastly different amounts of rock between themselves and the bits of the earth that produce her magnetic field.

So colour me skeptical of this claim as well.

And while I like going barefoot for other reasons, I don't think it makes much of a difference to the magnetic fields.

It's not really the same thing. Construction and especially the high content of charged metal (whether it's power conduits or plain old frame) may make a considerable difference.

Do many people sleep in such tall buildings? Obviously they exist, but I can't think of any over-20 story residential building I've ever been in. Office space, sure, but not residential.

The amount of people who would regularly sleep in such a building is a minuscule fraction of the world population.

Yes, like I said, these things exist. But I ask do significant populations of humans reside in the upper floors of such structures?

In absolute terms, yes. In relative terms, no.

What about flowing underground water when sleeping on the ground?

What about the metal frame of a bed?

You forgot to mention whether they slept near shakra-aligning crystals or not.

That may make a considerable difference.

And I may be a 10,000 year-old alien.

That would be so disappointing, I've been picturing you as Mickey's assistant in Fantasia :)

Then again, maybe that checks?
