How to sleep properly in Feng Shui?
The bedroom is the most sacred place in the house, where we are most vulnerable when we sleep. From the Yin-Yang point of view, we receive more Yin energy in sleep. A calm environment in which we feel protected should have good circulation of positive energy and very clean air. How to equip a bedroom according to the laws of feng shui in order to ensure yourself a healthy sleep, we will consider below.
The importance of proper planning
Before moving on to the question of proper sleep, you should understand the intricacies of the layout of the bedroom itself, which are no less important.
- According to feng shui, square and rectangular bedrooms are best suited for productive sleep.
- It is recommended to have only one door per room. If there are more doors, sleep can be restless.
- Ideally, the bedroom should be located as far as possible from the front door.
- As you enter the bedroom, pay attention to where the windows are. Chi energy (responsible for health and longevity) moves between them and the door, so do not place the bed in the line of its movement.
- Position your bed so you can see the bedroom door. It will give you a sense of inner security.
- Try not to sleep with your head near the window, as the Chi energy dissipates through it, and in the morning you will wake up tired rather than rested. It is preferable to sleep with your feet to the window or to the side of it.
- Make sure all bedside tables in your bedroom have rounded edges. And if they are also located on both sides of the bed, you will add stability in intimate relationships.
- Smooth lighting is ideal. Avoid installing ceiling lights directly above the bed.
- Color the bedroom in pastel colors.
- Try not to sleep in a position where you could see your reflection in the mirror. The worst-case scenario in feng shui is a mirror at the base of the bed.
- Put something pretty next to your bed to inspire you in the morning.
- Pay attention to what is under your bed. Keep in mind that the space around it, including underneath, should be free. This will allow the Chi energy to circulate unhindered.
Where to turn your head?
The correct position of the head in a dream greatly affects our life. According to feng shui, you need to focus on the following information.
North
If your life presents unpleasant surprises, it is better to place the head section of the bed on such a side of the world as the north. According to the rules of the teaching, the location of the head on the north side attracts the energy of stability and peace to the sleeper. After some time, life will become more measured, without much shake-up. The same applies to protecting your health. For a sick person, sleeping on the north side helps to recover. For spouses who are unfortunate enough to quarrel frequently, this position is also recommended. Passions will subside, and relations in a married couple are harmonized.

However, for people suffering from insomnia, such an arrangement of the bed is only harmful.
South
If it is necessary to raise the level of material well-being and financial flows, then put the bed with its head end on the south side. And over time, the material and financial situation will certainly begin to rise. Perhaps this will happen due to career growth or an improvement in the flow of money in the business. This method is good in any case, but the condition for the method to work is the fact that you need to sleep alone.
In addition, such a dream is contraindicated for those who are prone to mental trauma and stress.

West

It is enough to turn the bed with the headboard to the west, and bored people will have a creative spark, romance. A series of interesting events will begin in their lives.

Plus, adults and seniors will get plenty of sleep.
East

Helpful hints
Feng Shui scholars have developed some more additional tips for those who plans to improve their sleep and change their lives through this teaching.
- Choose bedrooms at the back of the house. The rear refers to those areas that are further from the street. The main reason is that bedrooms at the back of the house are usually much quieter. Your sleep is less likely to be disturbed by the noise of vehicles and the movement of everyone walking and talking in front of your house. Unfortunately, this method is more acceptable for a private house than for an apartment, where all the rooms are likely to face the noisy streets.
- Avoid bedrooms under the most used areas. Active areas can include bathrooms, lounges, or other areas where people are active. This is usually not the case for high-rise apartments as the bedroom is likely under another bedroom and the floor is usually thick and soundproof. If your bedroom is under the bathroom, your sleep can be interrupted by flushing the cistern. Or, if you live right under a teenager's room with a different sleep pattern, movement, music, or other activities may keep you awake.
- Don't go for the largest bedroom. If your bedroom is too large, you may wake up tired, even if you've slept for 8 hours. Some people find it difficult to completely relax in large bedrooms. This may be our instinct for self-preservation. We are most vulnerable when we sleep. And in a large space, we can feel less protected, which makes us sleep under severe stress, instead of complete relaxation.
- Avoid placing the head end of the bed near a window... In this position, sleep is destroyed by external influences, including wind, lighting, smell, shadows, and car movements. Pigeons next to your bedroom window can interfere with your sleep. Unknown extraneous sounds or smells affect survival instincts and wake a person up.
- Remove items hanging over the bed. How do you feel when you are standing right under the chandelier? Hanging jewelry can cause you significant discomfort. If you have something hanging directly above your bed, like a chandelier, you won't feel 100% safe.
- Do not place bulky furniture near the bed. Some people like to build a library right next to the bed. This provides easy access to books for those who like to read before bed. Small shelves are fine, but if you have shelves that are over 180 centimeters tall, it is best to get rid of them. The reason is that massive furniture can create a feeling of invisible pressure that makes you feel uncomfortable. This is similar to the feeling you get when driving across the path of a truck or standing just below a monumental structure.
- Don't turn your bedroom into a warehouse. Bedrooms are often used as storage rooms. This creates a mess that can negatively react to the Chi. For example, objects under the bed create negative cycles that can affect the marriage relationship of the room's occupants.
In addition, feng shui experts advise against working directly in the bedroom.
Work and sleep don't mix. Avoid work furniture in the bedroom, such as a desk. If you already have one in your bedroom, you can go to bed with work in mind, rather than rest. In addition, the desk can create work-related stress, and it will significantly affect the quality of your sleep.
This applies mainly to adults and not to students, because adults are the ones who are more pressured from their jobs to support their families and children. If you live in a small space, you can try separating your work area and bed with a curtain.
In conclusion, we can say that the bed should not have a boring and purely functional look. Treat it with great enthusiasm, and then you will sleep with a feeling of satisfaction, your dreams will become more pleasant, and you will wake up in the morning feeling more invigorated. Depending on your needs and desires, set the bed in the correct (feng shui) direction. This will help bring harmony and positive, good experiences into life.
