Is it a superstition or heresy not to 'face your feet west and your head east' when you sleep? Experts: There is a scientific basis

As the saying goes, don't sleep with your feet facing east and your head facing west. This statement also has a scientific basis. The most scientific explanation is that there is also a subtle magnetic field in the human body. If you do not sleep in the direction of the magnetic field, you will easily feel tired, which is not conducive to the operation of body functions. People have no spirit and energy.

The correct way to sleep is to face north and feet south, which is consistent with the direction of the earth's magnetic force lines. This way, the Earth's magnetic field does not interfere with the body's bioelectrical currents. If the sleeping method is inconsistent with the direction of the earth's magnetic field lines, that is, sleeping in the east-west direction, people will use a lot of energy to recover from the interference of the body, and it is inevitable that they will not sleep well.

In fact, there is another way of saying Feng Shui. Chinese houses face south. If you face east and feet west, and face the window when you sleep, the cold wind will invade the body from the head and have a great impact on the human body. Therefore, Chinese people do not face their heads east and feet west when they sleep.

There is also scientific evidence that sleeping on your back is more beneficial to your health than sleeping while standing or sitting. It is certain that lying down is more comfortable, and there are other more important reasons, that is, lying down is more conducive to blood circulation and allows the brain to be better and more fully cultivated. And there is also a saying that short periods of handstand are easier to restore mental and physical strength than lying down. This has also been scientifically proven. According to science, it is recommended to face head east and feet west, or head southeast and feet northwest. In this way, the Qi channels of the human body are consistent with nature, which is more conducive to the development of the human body.

This is a superstitious saying of our ancients, but it has also been said from ancient times to the present that if you face east and head west, you will see unclean things when you sleep at night.

I think this is a groundless feudal superstition, I really haven't really heard of this kind of statement. I am also from the countryside, and I am also the kind of kang burner in the northern countryside. When I was a child, I slept on a kang. Because the house is facing south, you can see the light. At night, people sleep with their heads facing south or north, and they rarely sleep in northern rural areas. But when I was a child, the old man often said that you should not face the west when you sleep, because the dead are lying on the west. Of course, growing up, I don't think there's any scientific basis for this, let alone my feet can't face west. I think sleep rest is all about relaxing yourself. As long as you can get a good night's sleep, it doesn't matter which direction you go.

Don't sleep with your feet facing west. I have never heard such a saying in the countryside, but someone said it, because people who died in our countryside were buried with their feet facing west. For good luck, don't sleep with your feet facing west. In fact, in this society, we are not superstitious. We do not decide in which direction the commercial housing in the city will go. Naturally, many people slept on the west side. Just let it be! Some people will say that not sleeping like this is related to the magnetic field, but the magnetic field is invisible and intangible, and it cannot convince our parents and villagers in the countryside.

I think these are common sayings that have been handed down from the old age, so I think we still believe in this kind of thing, if we don’t have confidence, we don’t have it.
