Having trouble getting quality sleep? Don’t miss out on the following bedroom fengshui tips to enhance your sleeping quarters. Read on!
We know sleep plays an important role in our lives, and for those of us who sleep the recommended 7 to 9 hours, that’s practically one third of our life! With the ongoing COVID-19 situation and safe distancing measures, we’re definitely getting more sleep, but longer hours may not necessarily equate to good sleep quality.
In fact, the health technology company Royal Philips revealed in a study earlier this year that Singaporeans get an average of 6.9 hours of sleep every night. While this is an improvement from the average of 6.4 hours seen a year earlier, almost half (49%) of the survey respondents said they were not satisfied with their sleep.
Can fengshui really help to improve your sleep? Maybe. Bedroom fengshui is closely associated with the health and relationship aspects, and optimising your bedroom can help improve your general well-being, as well as harmony within the household. As they say, ‘never try, never know’. So, here’s what you can do, or prepare for an early spring cleaning session.
1. Mind your bed

Not sleeping well even though you’re pretty sure you’ve got the best mattress in the market? You may want to relook into the position of your bed. In general, it is best to allow your bed to be placed against a solid wall, which provides a feeling of support and protection.
Arranging your bed to have a clear vantage of the doorway (while not being in direct alignment) is also good, but for optimal fengshui benefits, it is best to align your bed position with your Bazi needs. If in doubt, do consider consulting a fengshui practitioner for a fengshui review.
Besides the bed position, a headboard represents stability and support in your life, especially your romantic relationships. Hence, a solid and smooth headboard (without perforations) made of natural materials is recommended. Last but not least, it is good practice to always make your bed.
2. Declutter your bedroom

At the risk of sounding like Marie Kondo, we want to re-emphasise the point: “less is more”.
Things accumulate over time, and that’s why regular cleaning and decluttering, as well as an annual fengshui review, can help to spruce up your bedroom and ensure smooth energy flow. You may want to note that items under your beds can affect your health. Whatever you store beneath can also represent or create subconscious blocks in your life.
Sharp objects should not be in the room, but if necessary, do keep them in a drawer or cabinet – out of plain sight. This applies especially to couples, as it is linked to the harmony within the bedroom.
3. Keep electronics out of your bedroom
We agree that watching Netflix in bed can be super shiok, and texting in bed before sleeping has become a habit for many people. Nonetheless, electronics such as the television, laptop, or even your mobile phone can disrupt the magnetic field within your bedroom, affecting your sleep quality.
From the fengshui aspect, it is best to leave these electronic devices out of your bedroom or hide them as best you can. If you already want to have a television in your room, you may want to consider placing it in an armoire or cover it neatly with a cloth when not in use.
4. Note the nitty-gritty on furniture and decor

These days, most of us have an air conditioner in our bedroom. But is it in the right position? Having the air-conditioner blowing directly at your head or feet is considered to be undesirable, and can lead to health complications. This will in turn affect your relationship, as your mood will be down.
Another common piece of furniture is the mirror. According to fengshui, having too many mirrors in the bedroom creates an imbalance of energy. It is best to keep mirror(s) out of sight. If not, you should at least avoid having a mirror at the foot of the bed. Otherwise, your health and sleep quality will be affected.
Your bedroom decor says a lot about your personal life, and it can also cast an influence on certain aspects of your life. Avoid hanging paintings or large photographs above the bed, as that can produce the same threatening energy of an overhead beam.
For those who are looking to enhance your relationship luck, you should display family photos in other rooms. Singles should opt for artwork that depicts or comes in pairs over those that spell individualism.
5. Colours in your bedroom

Last but not least, colours play an important part in bedroom fengshui. Keep things simple. When painting large walls, neutral colours may be more suited to avoid overstimulating the energy when you are sleeping.
Nonetheless, the best colours would still be those that are suited to your Bazi (and those of your spouse). As flying stars tend to change position on a yearly basis, that may also influence your health or relationship for a particular year. It is best to consult a professional fengshui practitioner on how to best fengshui your bedroom.

让你睡得更香甜的5个风水妙招
不能睡个好觉吗？那就千万不要错过可助你提升睡眠质量的卧室风水妙招。请继续阅读！
睡眠在我们的生活中扮演着非常重要的角色，而专家建议每天7到9小时的睡眠时间，几乎就占据了生命的三分之一！目前冠状病毒（COVID-19）疫情仍在蔓延，安全距离措施也持续实施，这段期间确实让我们睡得更多，然而，睡得多并不等于睡得好。
事实上，在今年稍早时，健康科技公司皇家飞利浦（Royal Philips）在一项研究中透露，新加坡人每晚平均睡眠时间为6.9小时。虽然这比一年前的平均6.4小时要改善了些，但几乎有一半（49%）的受访者表示，对自己的睡眠质量并不满意。
那么，风水真的能帮助你改善睡眠吗？是有可能的。卧室风水与健康和感情运是密切相关的，因此加以改良你的卧室，不仅可以提升你的整体健康，还能促进家庭和谐。正如大家所说的：“不试不知道”，以下就是你可以做的事情，或者说可以提前为春节大扫除所做的准备。
1. 注意床的位置
买到了市场上最好的床褥，但依然睡不吗？那你可能要重新检查一下你的床位了。一般来说，尽可能让你的床靠着一堵实心的墙，这样可以让人感觉有依靠和有安全感。
将床的摆放位置设在门道附近（但不直对门口），视野开阔明亮，也是不错的选择。但最好是能根据你的八字来进行调整，这样才能获得最佳的风水效果。如果有疑问，可考虑咨询风水师来做一次风水评估。
除了调整床位，你还需注意你的床头。床头的好坏，决定你的生活是否安稳，尤其是在感情方面。因此，建议使用由天然材料所制成，坚实而光滑的无孔床头板。最后，一定要培养起每天整理床铺的好习惯。
2. 收拾你的卧室
就像藤麻理惠（Marie Kondo）所倡导的一样，我们想强调“少即是多”这个理念。
时间过得越久，房里的东西也会越多。因此，定期打扫和整理（以及每年做个流年风水评估）可帮助你改善卧室的环境，并确保能量气场的流通。同时，你需注意床底下所收纳的物品有哪些，这会影响你的健康。无论你在下方存放什么，也都将对你的生活造成或产生潜移默化的影响。
注意在房间里不该有尖锐的物品，但若有必要，请将它们放在抽屉、柜子里或其他看不见的地方。夫妻需要特别注意这一点，因这和婚姻和谐息息相关。
另外，不妨在房间里使用精油或一些薰香，可帮助你放松身心，减轻压力，这对营造和睦的家庭氛围是必不可少的。
3. 把电子产品放在卧室外
无可否认，在床上看网剧真的非常痛快，而临睡前在床上发短信，也已经成为许多人的习惯。尽管如此，要知道电视、笔记本电脑，甚至是手机等电子产品，都会扰乱卧室内的磁场，影响睡眠质量。
从风水上来说，这些电子设备最好不要放在卧室里，或者尽量收在隐蔽的地方。如果你已经想好要在房间里放一台电视，那你可以考虑将它设在橱柜里，或是在不看的时候，用布整齐地把它盖上。
4. 留意家具和装饰品的细节
现在，我们大多数人的卧室里都有一台冷气机。但它在卧室里的位置正确吗？冷气不宜直接对着你的头或脚吹，这恐引发健康问题，进而导致容易情绪低落，影响人际关系的发展。
另一个常见的家具是镜子。根据风水学来说，卧室里若有太多的镜子，将影响气场平衡。最好的是能够把镜子放到你视线以外的地方。如果不能，那至少应该避免在床尾摆放镜子，否则将对你的健康和睡眠造成不良影响。
卧室的装修摆设体现了生活面貌，也会对你人生各方面产生影响。宜避免在床头上方挂画或大型的照片，因为那如同有横梁压顶，给人带来压迫感，威胁身心健康。
想要增旺感情运的朋友，不妨在其他空间摆放和家人的照片。单身者可选购有双人画像描绘，或是成双成对的艺术品，避免选择展现个人主义风格的作品。
5. 卧室里的颜色
最后要注意的是颜色。颜色在卧室风水中，发挥着重要的作用。记得，保持简单就好。在粉刷大面积墙面时，选择中性色将更为适合，以避免过于刺激感官而影响了睡眠。
然而，最理想的颜色，还是选用符合你和你另一半八字的颜色。由于流年飞星每年都会改变位置，这也影响着你每一年的健康或感情运。想了解如何让卧室处在最佳的风水状态，最好是能向专业的风水师咨询意见。
