Is Your BEDROOM Stopping You From Sleeping?

You may have invested in an expensive mattress, scented candles and stylish reading lamp to kit out your bedroom.

But if you’re still struggling to get a good night’s sleep, it may be because your feng shui is out of sync.

The ancient Chinese art looks at how harmonising ‘good energy’ can affect your mood and wellbeing – and consultant Sarah McAllister claims a few simple changes to your bedroom layout can help you nod off faster.

Speaking ahead of the launch of her new book The Dreams Architect, which comes out in January, McAllister told how feng shui is increasingly being applied to homes across the country as Brits look into how ‘spatial energy’ affects their sleep.

Sarah, who is the founder of FengShuiAgency.com, claims to have transformed the homes of clients to help them get a restful night’s kip.

Here, she highlights the five things that might be stopping you from sleeping – and how to fix them.

1. HAVING NO HEADBOARD ON THE BED 

‘It always amazes me how people can forget to purchase a headboard and muddle through with big pillows instead’, says Sarah. ‘This is really bad feng shui and causes restlessness.

‘The bed needs to feel like a haven of security, not a makeshift environment. You absolutely need a nice high padded headboard that is comfortable and secure and has no gaps through to the wall.

‘This stablises the energy there and stops energy leaking away. Avoid slatted headboards and metal ones.’

2. HAVING TOO MUCH ELECTROMAGNETIC STRESS IN THE ROOM 

‘Avoid having a radio alarm clock near your head or mobile phone charging stations and large metal items,’ Sarah warns.

‘Natural materials like wood, cotton, wool, silk, linen, cotton and velvet are preferable to polyester/artificial fabrics which can collect static.

‘TVs are not ideal, but if you must have one then make sure you can close it off in a cupboard and switch off completely. Magnetic mattresses and duvets really help to counteract the large amount of invisible energy polluting our homes these days.

Sarah recommends using Japanese wellbeing technologies to help ‘enhance the energy of a space’ – from air filters and ionisers to magnetic mattresses.

‘All these help to keep the natural energy of the body protected from modern day stresses,’ she explains.
