Why can't you sleep with your feet facing west and your head facing east? Tell you why, it's not superstition that has something to do with health.

1, the interference of the earth's magnetic field

The earth has a north pole and a south pole. If you sleep with your feet facing west and your head facing east, your body becomes the dividing line of the magnetic field. In this way, the magnetic field interference of the north and south poles is on me, and under the interference of this magnetic field, my sleep quality will also be affected.

Although the human body's division of the magnetic field is still relatively small, the magnetic field will not have much interference to the human body, but if you sleep under this interference for a long time, you may become more and more restless. If the quality of sleep has been poor, the damage to health will be very great.

2. Bedclothes

Again, because our houses in China are all built in the south direction, not only for geomantic omen, but also for better lighting. According to the orientation of the house, most beds are arranged in the north-south direction, so it may be difficult to sleep with your feet facing west and east.

I have been used to sleeping in this direction for a long time. If you suddenly change direction, your body will feel uncomfortable and your sleep quality will be affected.

3, the direction of the earth's rotation

Another point is that the direction of the earth's rotation is from west to east. If you sleep with your feet facing west and your head facing east, you may feel dizzy and your sleep quality will be affected.

The taboo of sleep

1, sleep on your back

Lying on your back is the most common sleeping position. Guo Xiheng, director of the Sleep Medicine Center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, told the reporter of Life Times that for normal people, supine can stretch and relax the cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and the whole body. For patients with apnea syndrome, supine will aggravate snoring symptoms and make apnea more serious. It is recommended that people who like snoring or have special diseases lie on their side.

2. Drink more and eat more before going to bed.

Gao Wei, chief physician of the Department of Neurology, Shougang Hospital, Peking University, said: Drinking alcohol before going to bed can easily cause gastroesophageal reflux, heartburn and severe cough at night. It is suggested to avoid drinking alcohol or feeling full for a while before going to bed, so as not to affect health, increase burden and pressure, and induce cardiovascular diseases and chronic metabolic diseases.
