• Yang. Yang is characterized by positive electrical charge and expansive energy states, and its directions are south – considered the positive pole, and east, where the sun rises. Energetic activities such as exercise, cooking, engaging in hobbies, and studying are yang.
This means that your bedroom and bathroom should be located in the northern and western areas of your home, and your office, kitchen, living room, and dining room are best in southern and eastern locations.
What Else You Need For Better Quality Sleep
Quality of sleep is as important as the quantity of sleep. Often we think we sleep for eight hours, but unless we are getting good quality REM sleep, which is when the body truly rests, we will awake feeling as if we hadn’t slept at all. Here are the ways to be sure you are getting quality sleep:
• Do not eat late. Your last meal should be no later than seven in the evening.
• Do not exercise just before bed. You should engage in no strenuous exercise for at least two hours before bed.
• No pets in the bedroom. Sleeping with pets often causes restless sleep.
You may also like to try this sitting meditation a half an hour before bed: Sit comfortably at the edge of a firm seat with your back erect and your head tilted slightly downwards. Place your arms gently over your lap and breathe slowly, deliberately, and gently. Keep your eyes slightly closed. Do this for 15-20 minutes.
