SSS. An intensive, knowledge base, and practice at the same time: The Directions of Light and Sleep

142427 · Feb 2, 2026

Namaste! I want to share my experience. I fall asleep as usual (facing north), but for some reason I always wake up around three at night and can’t get back to sleep. What I do: I change my sleeping direction to south and immediately fall asleep. If anyone has the same problem—waking up and being unable to fall asleep again—give it a try. Maybe it will help.
I notice that I sleep better facing south

It has been five nights since I started sleeping with my head facing south. Compared with north, I remember my dreams much less often. My sleep has become deeper and longer. Tonight I’ll sleep facing north, and then for five days facing west.

A report for tonight.
Again, vivid and fairly long dreams.
I remember the last dream being quite long: I was riding around a huge body of water with some friends. They were advising me on how to use the vessel разумно, minimizing the boat’s fuel consumption.
Tonight is my first night facing west.
I’ll report back in five days

Namaste! I slept with my head facing north for four days. From the very first night, I slept much more peacefully than facing west, and more peacefully than facing south. I dreamed and remembered my dreams. My state of mind and soul, bedtime routine, and meals were approximately the same throughout the experiment.
My favorites, as before, are east and north (I did not try to evoke any states or emotions; I simply observed and noted them). South is okay, while west is less preferable.
I’ll try a similar experiment with a longer duration sometime. I’ll write about it.

Namaste! I sleep facing north, and I do dream. I tried the other directions. I can’t fall asleep, or I wake up. I dreamed again today. I don’t remember everything, but an unpleasant feeling remained because there are some things I can’t remember. I worked through the dream in my own way—as I would have liked things to be. Otherwise, doubts arise.

Namaste. I slept facing north for two days. Now I sleep facing south.
I’m having strange dreams that feel rather unpleasant. In one, I covered part of an exposed body with a blanket; in another, I saw a deceased person (my friend’s husband). That’s why these actions feel unusual and uncomfortable to me.

Namaste. When I slept with my head facing east, I had light dreams and got up early. Facing west, I slept longer than usual in the morning and had anxious dreams... Then I dragged the mattress onto the floor and tried sleeping facing south; I don’t dream at all and sleep like a log. I still need to try sleeping facing north. I’m continuing the experiment...

Namaste!
I tried all the cardinal directions. What conclusions did I draw?
Frequently changing directions for sleeping causes a little discomfort. Perhaps our bodies get used to something constant?
I sleep better in my bed, in the place where my body/organism is accustomed to sleeping (after years of having the bed in the room

. We don't rearrange the furniture very often

)
Although I usually sleep with my head to the north, it was easy for me to move the pillow and fall asleep with my head to the south. Comparing these two directions, I sleep better facing south.
As for west and east, I moved to another room and slept on a sofa. I slept for three days in each direction. I had dreams, but I didn't remember them very well. I wrote above: they were as if behind opaque glass. An interesting sensation.
And one month is, of course, a very short period!
I keep a dream journal. I will continue paying attention to the themes of my dreams and the cardinal directions.

I am grateful to OM Shanti for this intensive! The first step: awareness has awakened in this part of my life. An exit from autopilot!

Namaste to all seekers)
For five nights, I slept facing west for the first time.
I practically got no sleep; I kept being unable to fall asleep. The stream of thoughts wouldn't switch off. On the fifth night, it became unbearable, and I finished sleeping facing north. Most likely, this was related to the different sofa, which was in another room. I always sleep in a bed. I think I'll get some rest (catch up on sleep) and then try the east, and see what happens.

Namaste!

The other day, when I slept with my head to the south, I had a prophetic, everyday-life dream. It came true very soon and brought a lot of joy... Now there are two directions—east and south—that I really like sleeping in.

Namaste, everyone..

I don't know whether it was a coincidence or not, but when I changed position and started sleeping with my head to the north, I woke up in the morning with pain in the left side of my back, under the shoulder blade. I didn't understand what it was, so I decided not to tempt fate and immediately switched to sleeping with my head to the south. I like this direction the most: you sleep peacefully and deeply. I also sleep somehow better on the floor; now I don't even want to go back to sleeping in a bed. And exercising happens almost incidentally—getting up and sitting down on the floor several times a day is easy now, whereas it wasn't at first. There really are some great health benefits to sleeping on the floor.
I concluded that sleeping facing south suits me best of all the directions.

Namaste!

I decided to turn off my alarm on weekends and sleep as long as my body requires. Why? There were days when I woke up much earlier than the alarm and was already active and ready for work, despite having slept very little, although I did have meaningful dreams.

I sleep much better and more soundly when there are no assignments or restrictions. A state of “free flight.” Carrying out what I have planned with joy and ease. Activating some kind of positively charged inner algorithm of our state.
I am continuing to experiment, but things have become much better, more productive, and higher-quality since I stepped outside the framework of the assignment.
I don’t know whether I managed to convey my thought. I was a student and wanted to do everything, do it correctly, and perhaps quickly look at all sides of it. BUT after stepping out of the role of a student, these assignments are completed much better.
I wanted to share this realization from my experience.

Namaste.
I continue to sleep with my head facing south. The brightest and most memorable dreams. When I was in the hospital, my bed was also positioned with my head facing south, the cardinal direction I am accustomed to. That was exactly where I felt comfortable. I identified this place immediately.
Healing dreams continue at home. It was shown that while sleeping, the body continues to heal through energy. I even felt physical sensations myself.
Spiritual guides and devotees come during sleep. I feel their support and prayers.
I continue to dream, despite having to wake up frequently because of certain discomfort in my arm.
For me, it is comfortable to sleep with my head facing south and east.

The topic is very interesting! As long as I can remember, I have constantly moved furniture! I was always experimenting! I slept facing north, then south, and sometimes even built a bed under the table as a child! Ten years ago, I discovered the calculation of the Gua number based on the date of birth. The calculation identifies favorable directions: Wealth, Success (Sheng Qi), Health (Tian Yi), Romance, Relationships (Yan Nian), Personal Development (Fu Wei), and unfavorable directions for a person: Setbacks (Huo Hai), Five Ghosts (Wu Gui), Six Killings (Liu Sha), Losses, Complete Collapse (Jue Ming)—the name of this direction speaks for itself; it is extremely harmful and unlucky. Under no circumstances should you position the head of your bed or your desk in this direction, so as not to feed this unfavorable energy.

Naraste!
And yet, the southern direction brings the brightest dreams!
So many details. Moments. Dialogues. So much color. So many vivid experiences. Events.

Namaste!
It may be a thought that means nothing, but for some reason it seems to me that different zodiac signs might find different sleeping directions comfortable. Perhaps theories like this already exist somewhere, but I have come to the conclusion that, for me as a Leo, the southern direction is best. Southeast comes second.
How did I come to this conclusion? At night, when I can’t fall asleep, I change my sleeping position. By trial and error.

And I can picture the zodiac signs arranged like the face of a clock, with the cardinal directions corresponding accordingly.
