how to sleep according to vastu - #37477
I am really struggling with my sleep lately. Just last month, I moved into a new apartment, and I thought I’d finally find the peace I was looking for, but no luck so far! I keep tossing and turning every night and it’s frustrating because I wake up feeling so tired. A friend of mine mentioned that maybe I should look into how to sleep according to vastu since my bedroom isn’t really set up the way it should be based on those principles. I did some research and found out that where your bed goes and even the direction it's facing matters. My bed is placed along the north wall, but I read somewhere that's not good? I thought that was okay, but now I’m confused. Is there like a vastu direction that’s best for sleep? And what else should I consider? I’m curious if I should even be looking into colors or other stuff in the room too? My sister suggested changing the layout, but moving heavy furniture is such a hassle! I just want to get some good nights of sleep without feeling anxious about it. Could there be other reasons I can dig into as well? Any tips on how to sleep according to vastu that won’t require a total room renovation? Appreciate any help!

Doctors' responses
When it comes to aligning your sleep with vastu principles, understanding bed direction is indeed essential. Vastu typically recommends the head facing towards the east or south while sleeping. It’s believed these directions are ideal for a restorative sleep, promoting good health and peace of mind. Placing your head to the north may disrupt the body’s magnetic field alignment and potentially disturb your sleep cycle, which might be something you’re experiencing.
Without overhauling your entire room, try shifting the bed slightly or angling the head towards the south or east to see if that helps. Also, ensure there’s a solid wall behind your bed for support and grounding — avoid sleeping under a beam as it could feel oppressive energetically.
Regarding colors, soft, soothing hues such as light blue, green, or earthy tones can help in creating a calming atmosphere conducive to sleep. Bright, bold colors might be stimulating and therefore avoided in the sleeping environment. Art with serene scenery or color gradients can subtly enhance the room’s tranquility.
Lastly, clutter can be a significant culprit in creating distractions—keep the space under the bed and around it free from unnecessary items. This allows energy to flow freely, nurturing your sleep environment positively.
On a broader note, check for any electronics near the bed that might emit emf radiation or light pollution, as they can interrupt sleep quality too. Keeping a minimalistic and serene bedroom can sometimes be enough to make a considerable change, without needing any heavy lifting.
Ultimately, try to notice how these small adjustments affect your sleep quality. Be patient. Sometimes the body and mind need a bit of time to adapt to new energies or positions. Implementing some of these changes might not require major renovations but can start easing the frustrations you’re feeling.
