The main requirement for a sleeping place is convenience. People spend a lot of time in bed. This piece of furniture is intended primarily for sleeping. In addition, you can simply relax on the bed, watch or read a book. Sleep is an important part of any person's life.
If a person has slept well, then during the day he will have the strength to work and other things. When a person has trouble sleeping, he feels sluggish and lacks energy. Sometimes, a person cannot understand why he sleeps poorly. And the reason may be that the sleeping place is located incorrectly.
Let's figure out how the bed should be positioned correctly in the bedroom - in relation to windows, doors, cardinal directions and according to the teachings of Feng Shui, and look at examples in the photo.

Basic Rule
Where and how it is best to place a bed in the bedroom is a rather difficult question.
Remember the main thing : you cannot place the bed with the foot of the bed towards the entrance to the bedroom. Everyone knows that dead people are carried out feet first. Therefore, this placement of the bed is a bad option.
Feng Shui, a popular teaching that originated in Ancient China, states that under no circumstances should a sleeping place be positioned in such a way that people will lie on it with their feet facing the door.
There is a belief that at night, negative energy passes through the doors into the room.
If you cannot move the sleeping place, then at least close the doors as tightly as possible before going to bed.
You can protect yourself from bad energy if you install a cabinet with a tall living plant next to your bed. A screen separating the space is also suitable.
The main thing is that the height of these items exceeds the height of the bed; It is generally accepted that then all the negative energy will fall on them, and people sleeping on the bed will be protected.
Placing a bed correctly in a small bedroom is not easy. There are rules that can be ignored, but one of them must be followed strictly: there should be no sharp corners near the bed, and it is unacceptable that they face the bed. Negative energy comes from sharp corners. This is very harmful for a sleeping person.
Erection. Etymology of the word
The term "erection" comes from the Latin "erigere", which means to be erect, hard. This origin of the word obliges a lot. So, if the penis is filled with blood, but does not become hard and elastic, this means that the erection is not complete. But this word has many other meanings. “Erectus” means “venerable”, “noble”, “promoted to office”, “raised to rank”. Therefore, continuing the association, we can say that the erect penis, as it were, rises in rank, dominates the vagina, and not vice versa. It must be “cocked”, that is, quite hard, in order to penetrate the passive, defenseless vagina.
Here is an exciting, in the full sense of the word, erotic picture. In reality, the penis does not always achieve full erection. Sometimes it doesn't straighten out completely. And the vagina is not such a “defenseless” object. It would seem that the passive, inert walls of the vagina can show surprising stubbornness; they may not “let in” the penis if it has not achieved a full erection .
Anatomy of an erection, or three bodies
The penis consists of three longitudinal bodies filled with spongy, or erectile, tissues surrounded by tiny blood vessels. The two outer bodies, the so-called corpora cavernosa, become hard and elastic during an erection. The internal, or spongy, body surrounds the urethra (urethra) and extends into the head of the penis. Both the corpus spongiosum and the glans during erection are inferior in hardness to the corpora cavernosa. Erecting tissues, which make up both the corpus cavernosum and the corpus spongiosum, are capable of filling with blood. This is the essence of an erection: blood accumulates in the cavernous and spongy body. First, the urethra lengthens. This is followed by the stage of tumescence, during which the spongy and cavernous bodies expand and fill with blood. The last stage of an erection is hardness. The entire penis becomes elastic, rises up and forward. Erection is limited, because the penis can only grow within certain limits. The role of limiters in this case is performed by the strong membranes of the erection bodies, covering each of them separately, as well as the additional membrane surrounding the entire penis, the so-called fascia of the penis.
The connection between the ceiling, bed and sleep
When arranging a bedroom, in particular, placing a bed, people rarely attach great importance to the ceiling, and this is actually important. If large objects, such as a chandelier, hang above the bed, a person will feel subconscious anxiety in a dream. For this reason, massive lighting fixtures with a large number of shades and pendants should be abandoned.
In the bedroom - in the area where the bed is - you should not equip the ceiling with open beams. The ideal option is if the ceiling is smooth and painted white. You can make a suspended ceiling - this is an excellent opportunity to hide the beams.
Feng Shui states that there should be no mirrors above the bed in the bedroom. Forget about a mirrored ceiling. A sleeping person should not be allowed to be reflected in the mirror, if only because if he suddenly wakes up and sees his reflection, he may become frightened while asleep.

How to position the bed relative to the door and cardinal directions
The general diagram of an ideal apartment and its internal layout in accordance with the cardinal points is as follows:
In the bedroom, any sleeping place must be placed so that when lying on the bed, a person can clearly see the entrance. If this cannot be done, then you need to hang it in a mirror so that the door is reflected in it. Lying on the bed, a person will see a mirror image of the entrance.
The best option is to place the bed diagonally in relation to the entrance to the bedroom. The head of the bed should face east or north.

If the bed is single, place it in the corner of the bedroom. A person will feel calmer on a bed placed in a corner. In addition, there is an opinion that if a teenager’s bed is arranged this way, he will devote much more time to studying, and entertainment activities will fade into the background.
A bed intended for two must be placed so that it can be freely approached from both one side and the other.
On both sides you need to place bedside tables for storing personal belongings. Place lamps on the bedside tables.
It is convenient to use lamps if the main light needs to be turned off. One spouse can sleep peacefully, and the other can read. The light from the lamp installed on the bedside table will not disturb the person sleeping on the other side.
To achieve twilight, create an intimate atmosphere, and make the sleeping area more comfortable, use a canopy. It's easier to relax on a four-poster bed.
To create a canopy, you can use a dense material of a dark color or, conversely, a light one. Transparent fabric also looks beautiful. Choose the material for the canopy based on your personal preferences.
You cannot position the bed in such a way that those sleeping on it lie with their heads towards the window. If you can’t change the position, then you need to buy curtains made of thick fabric and close the window with curtains before going to bed.
You can choose beautiful roller blinds: they are usually made from thick fabrics, so you don’t have to worry about waking up with the first rays of the sun.
If the bed is double, then you need to use a mattress designed specifically for this model of bed.
Important! You cannot use two small mattresses: such a division into two parts is symbolic. There is an opinion that such division of the bed can negatively affect the relationship of the spouses.
Sustainability is important
It is important to position the sleeping area correctly, but it is equally important to choose the right bed.
Designs with water mattresses, beds with a round shape and models equipped with wheels are distinguished by their originality: they are convenient to move. Such beds were fashionable, but many people noted their instability. Thus, they are not very comfortable for sleeping. Remember! Stability is an important factor when choosing a bed, so choose durable designs.
There are models of beds on sale whose entire base is located on the floor. Feng Shui teaching says that this is bad. It is necessary that there is space between the floor and the bed where energy flows will circulate.
Electrical outlets do not belong near the bed; it is better to have them as far away as possible. Chinese sages claim that electrical appliances emit energy radiation that is harmful to the human biofield. It would be good if there were no sockets in the bedroom at all.
Important! Do not place household items under the bed: the floor under the bed should always be clean.
In the bedroom with two windows
If the window openings are located on one side, then this is the most convenient layout option. In this case, it is best to place the bed in the partition between the windows: the heat from the radiators and the draft from the window will not disturb the apartment residents.
Bed north
Most often, when choosing a place for a bed, a wall is chosen where less sunlight falls. By choosing this position, you will be able to soak in bed longer in the morning and not be distracted by sunlight. Designers recommend avoiding placing the bed when the footboard is directly opposite the door.
You can save space in a one-room apartment by choosing a folding bed or a corner sofa. The bed should not be in the middle of the room: it is desirable that the back is close to the wall, but not close to it.
Podium
In the bedroom you can make the floor at different levels and place the bed on the podium. You will have a great place to sleep, where you will not only be comfortable, but also calm.
If there is a niche in the bedroom, this is the best option for placing a bed. If the niche has non-standard dimensions, then you can make a custom-made bed.

If the house has two floors and the bedroom is located on the first, then it should not be located directly below the bathroom. Bathrooms have bad energy, and it can transfer to the bedroom. If you can’t change the layout, then place the bed as far away as possible.
The bed should not be placed above the cooking area.
How to arrange a sleeping place for a baby
When choosing a place for a child’s crib, you should rely on the above rules, taking into account only that:
- If the baby has a separate room for sleeping, the protection provided by the walls should be doubled. Therefore, place the crib in a corner so that it is surrounded by two walls at once.
- Do not forget also that the entire room should be within the child’s field of vision. Otherwise, his sleep will be very restless.
- Just as you should not hang mirrors and other massive objects above the head of your parents’ bed, you should not hang various toys and rattles above your child’s crib. In this case, it would be best to place them on both sides of the crib, maintaining a distance of at least a meter.
To understand how comfortable it will be for your baby to sleep, take his place yourself and look around the room. Not forgetting that when waking up, the child should see something good.
Feng Shui principles
The teaching of Feng Shui states that the sleeping place should be placed according to the principle in which four animals appear. This principle contains simple truths.
The head of the bed should be high. The sleeping place should be located as close as possible to one of the walls.
Pay attention to the photo below - it shows the main points that require special attention when searching for the correct location of the bed in the room:

If you want to strictly adhere to the rules, you need to place a dragon figurine on the left side of the bed, and a tiger on the right. In front you need to hang a picture of a bird with red plumage, and on the side of the head - a picture depicting a turtle.
People spend a lot of time sleeping. Sleep allows you to restore strength; the body needs proper rest. When falling asleep, a person should distance himself from worries and everyday problems.
