Old people often say, "I can't sleep with my feet facing west." What's the point?
This statement has something to do with the houses in the countryside in the past. Building houses in rural areas mostly follow the basic requirements of "sitting north facing south". At the same time, in the past, many rural houses were basically civil structures, especially in the southern region. This wall is made of adobe. After being repaired to a certain height, beams will be evenly laid on the east-west wall, and then "grids" will be evenly nailed on the north-south beams. Finally, the main body of the house was built by laying green tiles on it. So, what does this have to do with "feet facing west can't sleep"?
We have the saying that "the beam is unlucky" here, because the beam of the house is placed in the east-west direction, so the bed at home can't be put, otherwise it is "the beam is unlucky". The older generation thinks that sleeping in a room with a roof beam will increase the pressure invisibly, and it is prone to MUBI, insomnia and other problems, which will affect health in the long run. So we often sleep north and south, that is, the bed is placed north and south.
In addition, some doctors believe that because the geomagnetic field is distributed in the north and south, our blood vessels contain a large number of swimming metal ions, such as iron ions and potassium ions. If you sleep in the north and south, it is beneficial to blood circulation, accelerate body metabolism and contribute to health.
Of course, the saying that "I can't sleep with my feet facing west" is too absolute, because in real life, there are many places where I sleep with my head facing east and my feet facing west. In particular, the commercial housing in the city now generally places beds in the east-west direction. So "I can't sleep with my feet facing west" is too absolute, and the old saying is not universal.
Dear friends, how do you arrange the beds at home? Is it east-west or north-south?
