Why you wake up tired: bedroom secrets according to Vastu |

Do you often wake up dull and drained, despite sleeping the entire night? While this may be a reaction to your underlying health conditions or a result of excessive screen time or late-night eating, if this condition persists daily and has no link to any of these health conditions, then you must read on, as this unexplained tiredness can also point towards Vastu dosha or a negative imbalance as per Vastu. Here’s all you need to know…Why does this happen?According to the books of Vedic traditions and Vastu shastra, if you have been struggling to wake up properly each morning, despite sleeping throughout the night. This may signal a Vastu imbalance in your bedroom, where disrupted prana flow drains the vitality and energy overnight. According to the books of ancient Vastu Shastra, the bedroom’s direction, bed placement, and elements often reflect energy as well as the harmony of the house, which holds the power to turn rest into restoration from fatigue.

Wrong bed directionIt is believed that sleeping with your head aligned towards the north aligns your body against Earth’s magnetic field, pulling energy downward and causing restless sleep or exhaustion. As per the books of Vastu principles, it is believed that sleeping with the head towards the south and feet towards the north holds for magnetic harmony, stabilizing body rhythms and ensuring sound sleep. In fact, it is believed that north-facing beds activate Rahu energies, leading to nightmares and morning grogginess as cosmic pull disrupts pituitary gland function.Bedroom in wrong zoneBedrooms in the northeast (water zone) direction of the house can lead to instability and leak vitality through excess energy. On the other hand, southwest placement of the bed grounds the earth element by anchoring sleep hormones like melatonin for refreshed awakenings. East rooms suit singles but tire couples by overstimulating solar energies without balance.

Bed under beamAnother common reason for waking up tired is because the presence of beams overhead leads to downward prana, which mimics stress on the crown chakra and spiking cortisol.MirrorsThere’s no denying that in most households, mirrors and dressing table setups are often placed in the bedroom. It is believed that facing the bed doubles disruptive energies at night, reflecting subconscious fears and blocking alpha waves. Cover mirrors post-sunset; relocate beds away from beams for uninterrupted neural recovery.Clutter and prana flowAccording to the vastu principle, under-bed storage is common, but do you know it leads to stagnation of positive energy and emotional residue buildup that manifests as lethargy? Vastu demands clear floors for smooth energy circulation, oxygenating blood overnight via balanced air tattva. Declutter weekly, especially south corners, to release trapped fatigue.
