Kerala Vasthu for Good Sleep
Nowadays people give a lot of importance to numerology, vasthu shastra etc. Vasthu shastra describes how a home is to be constructed so that it provides positive energy, comfort, peace of mind, wealth and prosperity to family members. Such matters are taken into notice while constructing bedroom also. As per Kerala vasthu, after kitchen, bedroom is the most important place of a home, and if it is created as per vasthu, it gives good sleep to the person who uses the room. Apart from the place and direction where bedroom is to be constructed, its size, placement of bed, direction, sleeping position etc can also be done as per vasthu. If so it provides good sleep.
Many people believe that vasthu sastra is pure superstition. But it’s not the case. For every suggestion put forward by vasthu, there is a scientific explanation also, that can affect one’s health, mental status and mood also. Also read: Kerala Vasthu – Common doubts cleared.
Where bedroom should never be constructed?
Definitely it should be away from kitchen and store room. Store rooms are usually dusty, and a storage space of many less-used things, and for the same reason if bedrooms are constructed near store rooms, it may lead to allergic problems. Similarly it should be constructed away from pets’ home, cow shed etc to avoid bad smell and insects. Apart from dust and bad odour, noise of pet animals and birds can also disturb your sleep.
Why should bedroom be constructed away from kitchen? Kitchen is a busy place of a home filled with sounds of mixer grinder, utensils etc enough to interrupt one’s sleep. Apart from sounds, odours of cooked and uncooked food, smoke, fumes etc are other factors why Vasthu suggests to keep your bedroom away from kitchen.
Small bedrooms are the best as per vasthu. In our traditional old homes, there are so many rooms but small in size. But those days have gone and people now choose luxurious bedrooms big in size and spacious as living rooms.
Keep away indoor plants
Greenery is pleasant to eyes. But it’s not pleasant for our health. So never place plants inside bedrooms, and space close to it, including outside walls. Plants emit carbon dioxide at night, which is not good for our health. Bamboo belongs to intense grass plants, and is not good for health as per Ayurveda.
Never make bedroom your worship room
As per our religious believes a place of worship is spiritual and holds a divine power, which should never be disturbed by we, common man. Presence of divine power in our room can disturb our sleep also. It’s also not advisable to construct bedroom just opposite pooja room. It’s also advised separate bedrooms for couples, and not to use worship room as bedroom.
Which sleeping direction should we adopt?
As per vasthu shastra, we should sleep head pointing towards east or south. As per Varahamihira, we should never sleep with our head pointing towards north and west. A direction against magnetic field of earth can adversely affect one’s health and sleep. If you sleep with your pillows facing north it can affect blood circulation of brain. For the same reason it’s advised to brain patients to sleep in south direction. Varahamihira also suggests never to sleep nude, as a warning against insects.
Avoid negative energies inside the bedroom
In those old days, toilets and bathrooms were provided outside the house citing cleanliness to be the reason. It’s quite significant today also, though everyone prefer bath-attached bed rooms. As per vasthu, bathrooms give negative energy, and for the same reason its doors pointing bedroom should always remain closed.
Same is the case of electronic and electric gadgets. Man wants to sleep in peace forgetting everything, and what’s that mobile doing inside the room? Apart from mobiles, keep away all forms of negative energies – electric equipment like charges, television, computers etc. Bedroom is solely for peace and to keep you away from all sorts of disturbances of the day at least during sleeping. If you can’t place your computers or charging machines somewhere else, please cover them full with blankets before you go to sleep.
Separate area for senior citizens
Old people sleep less, and they wake early in the mornings. They may even loiter around at late nights or early mornings. So it’s better to construct their bedrooms away from others’ room, to avoid such sleeping disturbances.
Pictures and colours for your bedroom as per Kerala vasthu
Bedroom is a place of positive energy, and so pleasant pictures can give you a positive mood and good thoughts. Natural scenery, good wordings, romantic pictures, cute kid pictures are nice. But never place a crying baby picture. Blue is best for the interior of home and avoid yellow and red colours please.

Please try to implement in your personal life as well. In Chinese vasthu too, they suggest the same things. Electric/electronic appliances are considered as negative energies.
