Is it okay to sleep with your feet facing the door?

China pays attention to the Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams, and even the placement of the bed in the home has its own rules. Some people believe in Feng Shui particularly when they move into a new home, and will invite people who understand Feng Shui to arrange the bed for them. How to place the bed in the bedroom is an important aspect. Some people ask if it is okay to sleep with your feet facing the door? According to people who understand Feng Shui, you should not sleep with your feet facing the door, and your bed should not face a mirror.

1. The head of the bed should not face the door. It is inauspicious because it will cause a person's health and career to decline; so it should be avoided as much as possible. There are two ways to avoid this: one is to move the bed away so that the head is not in a straight line with the door, thus protecting the head of the bed from being directly hit by external air. If the bed cannot be moved, sleeping at the other end is also a workaround. In this way, the head of the bed can be protected from the direct impact of air from outside the door.

2. The head of the bed should not be too close to the window. It is inauspicious if the head of the bed is too close to the window. Let’s leave Feng Shui aside. From the perspective of environmental hygiene alone, the head of the bed should not be close to the window. On sunny days, the sunlight coming through the window will shine directly on the head of the bed, while on rainy days, wind and rain will seep in through the window gaps, affecting sleep. If there is a strong wind or thunder and lightning, it is more dangerous to have the head of the bed close to the window, as you may be injured by falling glass from the window. Therefore, for the sake of peaceful sleep and home safety, you should try to avoid placing the head of the bed close to the window.

3. The head of the bed should not face a mirror. Mirrors are used to block evil spirits. Their function is to reflect the evil spirits that are coming straight at them back, so the mirror should not face the bed. If the head of the bed is facing a mirror, you will often be frightened by your own reflection. Some people put many mirrors in the room and often feel that there are ghosts around. In fact, this is just an illusion caused by the shaking shadows of the mirror. It is not advisable to install a mirror at the head of the bed, because it is taboo to do so and will often seriously affect sleep, causing palpitations, insomnia, mental distraction, and even illness. It is not advisable to place too many mirrors in the bedroom. The best idea is to install a mirror on the inside door of the wardrobe. In this way, you cannot see the mirror at ordinary times, but when you want to put on clothes and dress up, you can open the wardrobe door and use the mirror.
