Sleeping with your feet facing west and your head facing east?
In rural areas, the economic conditions of each household are still limited, so most households choose to build their own houses on residential land. When building houses in rural areas, there are many opinions, and the same goes for furnishing the interior of the house.
Rural people pay more attention to these things, but in some buildings in big cities, the arrangement of furniture does not need to follow many rules.
When developers build buildings, because this is an investment project, they need to recoup the benefits in a timely manner. Therefore, besides maximizing the usability of the house, they do not consider other factors.
According to ancient people, if you sleep with your feet facing west and your head facing east, it can cause an imbalance of yin and yang. That’s why ancient people did not allow people to sleep with their feet facing west and their head facing east.
In reality, people often choose the north or south as the ideal direction to build a house. Especially when there is a house facing south, it will absorb sunlight easily, help generate positive energy, and be beneficial for the homeowner. Therefore, in the belief from ancient times to the present, the direction of north-south is considered beneficial for the human body.
In addition, the Earth always has the magnetic field of the North and South poles. The human body also has a magnetic field. According to the research of scientists, you will sleep better if you sleep along the magnetic field of the North and South poles.
Which direction should you place the bed for the best result?
According to the five-element feng shui rule, those with the Wood, Water, and Fire elements should place their beds facing north, east, south, and southeast respectively. These directions will bring good fortune to the family. For those with the Metal and Earth elements, the best direction for the bed is Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, and West.
Do not place the bed directly facing the door: This is called the “dead position” in feng shui because bad energy and harmful energy will directly affect the person lying down, endangering their health and causing a decline in their career.
Do not place the head of the bed under the window: According to feng shui, if the bed is placed under the window, the homeowner will not receive any protection or support, and at the same time, this arrangement also causes the loss of important energy as the energy easily escapes from the room.
Do not place the bed directly under a beam: If you let a beam cross over the bed or place it directly above the bed, it will place your sleep in a position of suicide, huyền sâm sâm sát, and the path of career will be unsuccessful, forever unable to rise.
Do not place the bed without touching the wall: If the bed is placed in the middle of the room and away from the wall, it means “exposed position,” without support or shelter, which will lead to a lot of risks and few benefits, with the bedroom space being excessively fragmented, causing many disadvantages for the homeowner.
Do not place the bed directly opposite the bathroom: If you place the head of the bed facing the bathroom, you will not only be bothered by the smell but also easily startled by the sound of flushing water.

Therefore, the belief of ancient people is not simply superstition but has a scientific basis, derived from experience.
In reality, regardless of what the ancients paid attention to, whether it’s the yin and yang of the Earth or the North and South poles, they have minimal effects on people’s sleep. The only thing that truly affects everyone’s sleep quality is the quality of sleep itself. From this sentence, the only thing that can impress us is the importance of sleep.
Nowadays, people always like to play games and watch TV shows. Wanting to go to bed early has become a luxury.
