Having a bad night of sleep is not only exhausting, it is downright horrible, but so many people have problems sleeping nowadays. However, there might be a quick and easy solution to help you sleep better. The answer is in your furniture. Believe it or not, the arrangement of your furniture can affect your sleeping pattern. So here are some quick tips on how to arrange your furniture so that you can get a better night&#8217;s sleep!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have Equal Space on Each Side of the Bed<br \/>\n<\/strong>Making sure you have equal space on both sides of the bed is absolutely essential when it comes to bedroom feng shui. Having equal space creates a soothing sense of spatial balance. It\u2019s best not to push your bed up against a wall or else an energy imbalance will disrupt your sleep. Here are some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowfengshui.com\/best-feng-shui-bedroom-layouts\/\">best bedroom layouts<\/a> that have equal space on each side of the bed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place the Bed\u2019s Head Against a Wall<br \/>\n<\/strong>Placing your bed\u2019s headboard against the wall creates a sense of security, which can help you fall asleep faster. Believe it or not, the smallest noises, disruptions, and even smells can disrupt your sleep. So use your headboard to your advantage and create that extra sense of security to help you fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Place Your Bed Against the Same Wall as the Door<br \/>\n<\/strong>Some people, depending on the size and layout of the room, can get away with not placing the bed against the same wall as the door and that\u2019s great! When the door opens at night you will wake up on high alert because of the sudden movement and sound. When your bed is opposite of the door, you only have to lift your head to observe the reasoning behind the movement and noise. If you bed is against the door, you\u2019ll have to rise from your bed in order to investigate what\u2019s alarming you, which disrupts your sleep. However, if your bedroom is on the small side and you don\u2019t have the option, that\u2019s okay. Just place a piece of furniture between your bed and the door to create something like a barrier, which will make you feel safer and more secure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid Placing You Bed Under a Window<br \/>\n<\/strong>A window acts as a direct gateway to the outside world and your bedroom. Things like scent, wind, noise, light, shadows, movements, and animals are outside Chi (also known as outside energy or life force) that can directly affect your sleep, if your bed is directly below and window. The outside Chi can alert your senses, survival instincts, and wake you up making it hard to fall back asleep. So it\u2019s always best practice to keep your bed away from any windows to better your sleep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arrange Other Furniture in the Room Accordingly<br \/>\n<\/strong>Place your bed before anything else when you are laying out your bedroom. Once you\u2019ve found the perfect position for you bed, arrange other furniture accordingly. Don\u2019t place any big and heavy furniture too close to your bed because it will make you feel uneasy. Also don\u2019t place a mirror directly in front of your bed either. Any type of movement in the mirror will alert you and disrupt your sleep.

Opt for more soothing colors that make you feel at ease. This will create a relaxing ambiance, making it easier for you to relax and fall asleep in your bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don\u2019t forget to turn back the clocks November 5<sup>th<\/sup>, 2017 for Daylight Savings and enjoy the extra hour of sleep you\u2019ll be gaining!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone hates it, but everyone goes through it.
