7 expert tips to Feng Shui your bedroom layout for better sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleep tech experts Simba<\/a> and Lisa Artis, deputy CEO of Simba’s charity partner, The Sleep Charity have joined forces to share expert advice on promoting warmth, comfort and restful slumber during the winter months…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>Watch out for cold drafts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Any draft from windows or doors can disrupt sleep, so avoid placing your bed in their path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Feng Shui, positioning your bed in the command position, where you can see the door but are not directly aligned with it will provide protection whilst encouraging energy flow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A room temperature of 16-19\u00b0C is optimal for sleep but cold spots can disrupt the body’s thermal balance.<\/p>

2. Keep warm with a heat source<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Avoid direct alignment with a heat source as this can cause overheating and result in restlessness. Instead, position your bed a comfortable distance from radiators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay toasty by investing in a high-tech duvet like Simba’s 3-in-1 duvet<\/a>, combining a light 3.5 tog with a thicker 7 tog for a luxurious feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
