For those versed in Feng shui (please, no internet researchers) what is the right Cardinal directions the head of a bed should be oriented to? I’ve been having sleeping problems, and I had it oriented north-west. Searching the web says south-east it’s the ideals direction, but again, nowadays I don’t know what sites are ai-generated.

If you can give me a link to a website that may have this information, or have an answer, I’ll be forever thankful.

Take care everybody

    Have you tried flipping and or rotating your mattress? Getting a new mattress? Getting a new pad/spring/boxspring (or maybe rotating/flipping that)? Have you looked into your sleep hygiene and schedule?

      What’s a good sleep hygiene? No electronics before bed time? Does tv count? Should I read a book? But then I become engrossed in it and don’t sleep.

      Thank you

      Edit: damn auto complete!

        Avoid caffeine in the afternoon (how late depends on each person’s caffeine metabolism). Don’t eat within a few hours of bed. Don’t drink right before bed. Go to bed at the same time every day. Try to avoid screens within an hour of bed. If you must, it should be something passive.

        Doing some of those is better than none of those; not everyone can do them all. I found I was more sensitive to caffeine than I thought and that making my bedtime the same +/- 30 minutes every day made things a lot better for my sleep. I take a hot bath about an hour before bed, get into bed, put on some background music (nothing too interesting or I won’t sleep), and then fall asleep pretty well.

          Last night it was easier to sleep. After rearranging the layout of the bedroom, I read a bit in bed… I was able to fall asleep an hour earlier than before.

          Thank you so much everybody, you’ve definitely helped.

          Take care, and long live the fediverse!
