NEVER SLEEP WITH A MIRROR FACING YOU.
Do you know why you shoukd not sleep with a mirror facing your bed?
In Feng Shui, it is believe to reflect and move energy. During the day, that is good as mirrors can brighten a space, expand a room and help energy circulate.
But, at night it is different, because in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sleep is when your body shifts from Yang to Yin. Your energy turns inward and your body is trying to slow down, restore itself and recharge.
But a mirror facing a bed is believed to bounce energy back at you all night long instead of letting your nervous system fully settle.
There is also an old Chinese belief that mirror can disturb the spirit during sleep, especially if you can see your reflection while lying in bed.
Honestly, bedrooms usually feel best when it is visually calm and quiet.
But, mirrors and light move and reflection into the space, which can make some people feel more alert or unsettled at night, especially in the dark.
So, if you have a mirror facing your bed, try covering it up tonight and see how you sleep. You might be surprised how much calmer your room feels.
