According to an ancient folk belief, sleeping with your feet towards the window is a bad omen.

Superstitious people never sleep with their feet towards the window or door.

Where did the belief come from?

Many modern people know why you can't sleep with your feet against the door: they say it creates an association with the dead. As for the window, the explanation is similar.

The thing is that in ancient times, dead people were taken out of the house not through the door, but through a window or a specially cut hole in the wall, which was then sealed. This tradition existed so that the soul of the deceased would not return back.

Signs and superstitions

2. Another interpretation is as follows: evil spirits can get through the window to a sleeping person, which will push him to various thoughtless actions. They will not bring any results, but only take away energy and health.

3. They say that sleeping with your feet toward the window is less sound and lasts less long. It is believed that in this case a person often has unpleasant dreams, and in the morning feels a certain "brokenness".
