Follow These Feng Shui Tips And Sleep Better
by: Jakob Jelling

If you are having problems at the time of falling asleep or you simply wish to improve your sleeping, you should follow the feng shui tips we will detail in the next lines and let this ancient Chinese wisdom help you. It is very important that we pay attention to our sleep due to the fact that it affects all the activities we do during the day as well as it has a direct impact on our health.

First of all, it is very important to avoid sleeping with the head towards the door. According to feng shui, the proper position in which to have the bed and to sleep is in such a place that allows us to see the door but without being right across from it. This way, you should always avoid sleeping with your feet right in front of the entrance.

It is also highly recommendable to avoid sleeping under a window. Sleeping right under a window would have a bad impact on your chi as well as it might cause you to loose some of your positive energy by dispersing it. Also, if your bed is right under the window, any bad chi which could enter into the room through it would go directly to you and therefore affect you. If you can’t avoid sleeping under a window, then you should hang a curtain which doesn’t allow bad chi to enter.

According to feng shui guidelines, it is also recommendable to avoid having pictures of water in the bedroom. Keeping pictures of water in the bedroom can cause insomnia as well as attract bad luck to those who sleep into the room. Therefore, if you do have a picture of water in your bedroom you should remove it or at least make sure it is as far from the bed as possible.

It is very important to make sure that there isn’t any poisoning arrow pointing towards the bed. In order to find out if there are poisoning arrows, you should check for any edgy element or corner which might point towards the place where you sleep. If you find any and you can’t get rid of it, you can neutralize its bad effect by covering it or by placing a plant in front of it.

Wake Up To The Facts About A Good Night’s Sleep
by: News Canada

(NC)-Just about everyone has heard that sleep is important to health and well-being, but did you know just how important it really is? The fact is, the human body can survive without food and water longer than it can without adequate sleep. Assess your own sleep needs and test your Sleep IQ with the quiz below.

1. Do you know the cause of your stuffy nose, puffy eyes, and sneezing when you wake up in the morning?

1. nothing, it’s normal
2. the onset of a cold
3. my bedding

Answer: c

It’s often dust mites, mold, and mildew lurking in your bedding that cause these allergic reactions. Dust mites, mold, and mildew thrive in the damp and moist environment of your feather and down pillows and bedding. These fills trap moisture and create a clammy atmosphere that allergens love. Wool, however, is hypo-allergenic and absorbs moisture then releases it quickly into the environment keeping you and your bedding dry - all night long. Wool’s remarkable ability to absorb moisture is important as the average person loses up to a pint of moisture a night while they sleep.

2. Do you know why your joints are achy and stiff in the morning?

1. not enough sleep
2. excessive tossing and turning
3. all of the above

Answer: b

Excessive tossing and turning is often the cause of aches and joint pain. According to an Australian study, the average person tosses and turns 45 to 50 times per night. This disrupts sleep and causes joint pain. The study also showed that participants who slept on a wool mattress pad reduced their tossing and turning by more than 50 percent. Participants also had a lower, steadier heart rate. A wool mattress pad cushions the body’s pressure points like shoulders, hips, and ankles making it the ideal choice for a restful night’s sleep. Natura World, www.naturaworld.com, North America’s largest manufacturer of wool bedding, produces mattress pads filled with pure wool encased in 100% unbleached cotton, designed to give you a healthier night’s sleep.

3. Is it hot in here, or is it me? What is the solution?

1. sleeping in different beds
2. getting different covers for each of us
3. a wool duvet

Answer: c

The sleep scenario that couples often report is the “too hot too cold syndrome” with one partner curling up to keep warm and the other partner kicking off the covers to cool down. A Natura wool filled duvet is the perfect solution.

Wool regulates to each partner’s body temperature, keeping both comfortable all night long.

Natura World, www.naturaworld.com the largest North American manufacturer of wool bedding, has a complete collection designed to eliminate the breeding ground for common sleep allergens. Natura’s pillows, duvets, and mattress pads are filled with pure wool and encased in 100% unbleached cotton. Natura’s wool bedding collection is available at Home Outfitters, or for a retailer near you, call 1-888-NATURA3.
