Sleeping with your feet toward the door is a common habit that may seem harmless. However, there are some reasons why it is best not to do so.

Disrupts the energy of the room

According to Feng Shui teachings, a door is an entrance for qi energy, which should circulate freely throughout the room.

If you sleep with your feet towards the door, you block this flow and create energy stagnation.

This can have negative consequences for your health, mood and success. Therefore, it is better to sleep with your head towards the door or perpendicular to it.

Deteriorates the quality of sleep

Sleeping with your feet towards the door can be not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous.

Firstly, you risk getting a draft, which can cause a cold or joint inflammation.

Second, you are exposed to noise and light, which can disrupt your sleep cycle and make it difficult to fall asleep and wake up.

Third, you may feel anxious or afraid that someone might come into the room and see you in this position.

All this reduces the quality of sleep and affects well-being.

Contradicts traditions and superstitions

Sleeping with your feet towards the door is contrary to some traditions and superstitions of different peoples and cultures.

For example, in India it is believed that only the dead sleep like this, and that it can attract evil spirits.

In China, they say that only poor people sleep like this and that it can bring bad luck and poverty.

In Islam, they say that only infidels sleep like this, and that it can anger Allah. So if you respect these traditions and superstitions, or just don't want to risk it, it's better to sleep differently.
