Which direction do you sleep in bed?

[gruntlabor]

The Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, ca 3000 BC believes that during sleep the body should be aligned with the earth's magnetic field.

due south and side

 

[MountainRa]

Side sleeper, feet south, head north

 

[PeppermintPatty]

South and side

 

[garyt1957]

North, South, East, West?

What direction are your feet pointed?

Stomach, sides, back sleeper?

Yep someone talked me into posting this topic

All of them

Feet toward the northeast. Usually fall asleep on my back as I'm reading but over the night I change position often and use both my right and left sides and my stomach, also use both sides of the bed and corner to corner.

According to feng shui, your bed should be positioned so that you can see the doorway from your bed, but not directly in line with it. This is known as the "commanding position," which is considered essential for a restful and secure sleep environment. Being able to see the entrance allows you to feel aware of your surroundings, promoting a sense of safety and control.

However, the bed should not be placed so that your feet are pointing directly toward the door, as this is referred to as the "coffin position" and is believed to bring negative energy and feelings of vulnerability.

Ideally, the bed should be placed diagonally across from the door, allowing a clear view of the entrance without being directly aligned with it. If this is not possible, a mirror can be used on the wall to reflect the door, providing the visual awareness without the negative positioning.

I don't always sleep in a bed, sometimes I hang from the rafters, other times in a coffin and I've been know to sleep in a recliner. I'll stop clowning around as this is a serious scientific conversation. I sleep with my feet to the south and my head towards the heavens. I tend to sleep on my sides and for short lengths of time on my stomach. I don't like heavy blankets and my feet can't be covered.

My feet point more or less north. And I flop like a dying fish. Left side, right side, back, then rinse and repeat. I used to sleep on my stomach, but I can't do that anymore comfortably with my aging girth.

Some people believe there are benefits to sleeping with your head pointed north.

I knew a school principal who was adamant about this and made sure others knew how important this was. He had some other unique ideas.

 

[LadyEmeraude]

Which direction? Does that mean where is your head placed (ie, top of head) or where your eyes are looking (straight ahead instead of back of bed like the head)?

I sleep in all three of the positions asked about - but not simultaneously.

Any position of your body or parts of your body is just fine while replying to my silly topic

 

[seadoug]

Head facing South, on each side throughout the night.

 

[gruntlabor]

Side sleeper, feet south, head north

That's the way I sleep, MountainRa, and I don't sleep well.
Do you sleep well?

 

[IrishEyes]

Whichever the position the dogs nudge me into,, usually on my right side clinging to the bed edge.
(please don't take that too serious)

I go through periods of sleeping well then periods of not sleeping well. The way my bedroom is designed I don’t have the choice of repositioning my bed. So I’m stuck with whatever good or bad feng shui is going on in my bedroom.

 

[Dr.Colosso]

Head North
Left side, right side, left side, right side.

Actually it’s true. And I am a rotisserie
Chicken. Have to reposition every at least 30 minutes..

 

[gamboolman]

Head of Bed is pointed North, so....
On my side holding ms gamboolgal tight.
I hardly move at night but ms gamboolgal flops around a good bit.

I don't sleep as good when she is not near to me.

 

[Warrigal]

Foetal position most of the time. One hand under my cheek and the other across my chest, knees tucked up.

The bedhead is north, so I am able to see the moon and stars on a clear night.

 

[Naturally]

... what is this sleep activity you speak of ?
Head of the bed is to the east. Foot to the west of course.
The bed never moves, but I do ... this way and that

 

[Ruthanne]

North or South depending on what side I sleep on. I sleep on my sides and a little on my stomach.

Not sure what you mean, perhaps a general comment. Anyway, you may always skip
over any topics that you ponder are not to your liking.
