Which direction is the best for sleeping?

1 statement 1: It is best to sleep with your head facing north and your feet facing south. Although there is no conclusion about which direction to sleep with your head facing north and your feet facing south, it is accepted and recognized by many people. At present, the supported viewpoints are mainly divided into the following two types:

1, China traditional culture thinks that the human body is yin and yang, the first is yang, and the foot is yin; Natural yin and yang, there is yang in the south and yin in the north. Therefore, the head reaches the northern yin position and the foot reaches the southern yang position, which is the balance of yin and yang; Otherwise, Yang is opposite to Yang, Yin is opposite to Yin, the abundance is too high, and the imbalance between Yin and Yang is not conducive to health.

2. People who firmly believe in the influence of geomagnetism on sleep believe that the magnetic field of the earth itself is north-south and has the property of attracting iron, cobalt and nickel. The human body contains these three elements, especially the blood contains a lot of iron (in hemoglobin of red blood cells), which enables the magnetic field lines to pass through the human body smoothly along the direction of the earth's magnetic field, minimizing the interference of the earth's magnetic field on the human body and making sleep more sweet.

2 Statement 2: Spring and summer to the east, autumn and winter to the west Sun Simiao said in "A Thousand Daughters to the Square": "Mortals lie, spring and summer to the east, autumn and winter to the west."

"Lao Lao Heng Yan" quoted "Remember the Jade Algae": "The sleeping place faces east in spring and summer and west in autumn and winter."

The reason is that spring and summer belong to the sun, and the head should lie east; It is cloudy in autumn and winter, and the head should lie facing west, in order to conform to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter".

3 statement 3: the emergence of this statement is mainly based on China's topography and traditional Chinese medicine theory, that is to say, if you go abroad, this statement may not be used. Let's take a look at what these people think first:

Chinese medicine says that the human body should "stand pulse" and "stand qi" during sleep, in which the word "stand pulse" means that the pulse trend in the human body is consistent with nature, so that blood vessels also circulate. The terrain of China is high in the west and low in the east. Along the mountain and water potential, the airflow direction is northwest to southeast. So when sleeping, the head is northwest, so that the pulse of the human body is consistent with nature. In addition, Feng Shui believes that the northwest direction is a dry divination, and it is also considered to be the most conducive direction for sleep.

Of course, in real life, most of our buildings are north-south, so it may not be realistic to locate the bed in the southeast of the northwest foot. )

4 statement 4: this view of sleeping with your head facing east is mainly common in the discussions of some foreign scientists. They think sleeping with your head facing east will make people feel peaceful. One of the most representative is Mrs. Salada subrahmanyam, a professor of physiology at Madras Medical College. She believes that the weak interference of the earth's magnetic field will cause great changes in the electrical activity in the brain. If you sleep with your head facing north, it will cause great changes in biochemical movement in the human body. Micro-pulses of magnetic field can greatly inhibit the electrical activity of the brain, thus making people feel uncomfortable, irritable and irritable. You won't feel this way when you sleep with your head facing east.
