Is it okay to sleep with your head facing east and your feet facing west?

Many people have problems with lack of sleep or poor sleep quality. If you don’t sleep well, it will affect the recovery of your personal energy and make you not have enough energy to devote to work and life. Sometimes people may not sleep well simply because they sleep in the wrong direction. So, is it okay to sleep with your head facing east and your feet facing west? Let me give you a detailed answer below!

1. Is it okay to sleep with your feet facing east and west?

Regarding the theory of which direction we should sleep, the most common saying is that the human body should face north with the head and south with the feet, which is consistent with the direction of the earth's magnetic field lines. Some also say that it is better to sleep in a north-south direction, with your head to the north and your feet to the south. According to the principle of the earth's magnetic field, the bed at home should be placed in a north-south direction, and people should sleep with their heads to the north and their feet to the south. This sleeping orientation is beneficial to the human body.

The earth is an extremely huge magnetic field, and its magnetic lines of force come out from the North Pole, pass through the earth's surface and enter the South Pole. The bioelectric current channels of the human body are perpendicular to the direction of the earth's magnetic field lines. The magnetic force of the earth's magnetic field becomes a resistance to the bioelectric current of the human body. To restore normal operation and reach a new equilibrium state, a large amount of heat must be consumed and metabolic capacity must be improved. If things go on like this for a long time, when the body cannot get enough energy replenishment from the outside world, the circulation of Qi and blood will become abnormal and become pathological. At the same time, in order to reach a new balance, the consumed energy surrounds the bed in the form of heat, which makes the temperature rise during sleep, makes the heart irritable, and makes it difficult to fall asleep.

According to this principle, people sleep with their head to the north and feet to the south, so that the magnetic lines of force can pass through the body smoothly and minimize the interference of the earth's magnetic field. The biological macromolecules in the human body will change from a chaotic arrangement to a directional arrangement, and the direction of the electric current in the human body, that is, the direction of blood circulation, will be parallel to the magnetic field lines of the earth. The sleeping direction conforms to the magnetic lines of force, and under the action of the magnetic field force, the Qi and blood flow smoothly. Sleeping with the head facing north and feet facing south can reduce metabolism, energy consumption, promote blood circulation and improve sleep quality.

2. Which direction should you not sleep in?

1. Friends who know something about Feng Shui know that there is a taboo in Feng Shui: you usually cannot sleep with your head facing west. West is considered a lazy direction. If you have no choice but to sleep facing west, then do not use gray or charcoal-colored sheets unless your horoscope favors this.

2. Sleeping with your head facing south can easily make people excited and cause insomnia. Therefore, from the perspective of Feng Shui, you can use yellow sheets or bedding for decoration, because from the perspective of Feng Shui health, yellow can calm the mind and relieve the symptoms of loss of eyesight, but it is best not to use light colors or lilac colors, because these two colors have strong light and color stimulation, which is not conducive to people's sleep.

3. The northeast direction is the Gen Gua, which is the direction of quarrels and disputes. Therefore, if you place your bed here, you are prone to nightmares. Feng Shui believes that sleeping with your head facing this direction can easily make you nervous and lead to nightmares. If your bedroom conditions are limited and you have to sleep facing northeast, you can alleviate these adverse effects by using dark, light pink or light yellow bedding.

3. What kind of sleeping position is good?

You can sleep on your back or on your right side. The left side is prone to compressing the heart, so try to avoid it. In addition, bad sleeping postures, such as the habit of clasping your hands in front of your chest or pressing your hands under your body, can easily cause you to have dreams or compress your blood vessels, so please also pay attention to this.
