Sleeping directions according to Vastu are guidelines to sleep in a way so that you receive favourable energies and reject unfavourable ones. Each direction has its own effect on the person sleeping. But, as per Vastu, you are free to sleep with your head in any direction EXCEPT NORTH.
It is the responsibility of every architect and builder to take this into construction while constructing a house and make sure all bedrooms are designed to accommodate the right Vastu for the welfare of the occupants.
Why? Because…
North
To sleep with your head facing north is strongly opposed. It might cause major illnesses and sleepless nights for the person sleeping in such a position.
South
Vastu Shastra highly recommends sleeping facing towards the South, as this is believed to provide sound sleep and increase the wealth and prosperity in the household.
East
Keeping your head in the East direction increases memory, concentration, and good health. Students must sleep with their heads facing east in order to increase their memory, grasping power, and concentration.
West
Sleeping in the west is also a favourable direction. Sleeping with your head facing the West gives you fame, reputation, and prosperity.
