Make sure there is enough circulation and fresh air in your room to help you restore and recharge. Position your bed so that you are far from the door and have a clear view of your bedroom’s door as this will give you a sense of security without being in the path of the flow of energy. Sleeping in line with the door or in the line of flow from window to door can expose you to too much chi which could also contribute to restlessness and irritability.
