We all want happy, healthy and fun loving children, don’t we? Here are some tips to ensure a good nights sleep! The bedroom must create a warm and harmonious environment that will support our children whilst they are sleeping.

1. A cluttered bedroom will affect the quality of sleep and can cause emotional stress

2. Check out any angles in the bedroom either caused by walls or cupboards to ensure that they are not aligned with any part of the bed when the child is sleeping

3. It is recommended not to install any televisions, hi-fi equipment, computer and other electrical appliances in a child’s bedroom as they emit harmful electromagnetic waves which can affect the child’s sleep and mental health

4. Check the position of the external electrical box if it is on the wall that is aligned with the child’s bed it is recommended to relocate the bed

5. Ensure that the bed is not located under a ceiling beam, if there is a beam it is recommended to have a false ceiling installed

6. Ensure that the bed is not located under the window, if there is no choice and it is the only position available, close the blinds at night

7. Use the Ming Gua or Life Analysis of the child to determine the best position to locate the bed head

8. Ensure that there are no negative features outside the window such as corners of roofs, trees etc

9. If there are trees outside the window making the bedroom very dark and gloomy it is recommended to remove the trees or at least cut them back to allow light into the room

10. Bunk beds are not recommended as they do not allow free movement of Qi for either child – the Qi is either suppressed by the above bed or the closeness to the ceiling

11. It is recommended that a bed should not be placed under slanted ceilings, Qi is suppressed and unable to flow freely and can cause disturbed sleep or headaches

12. Irregular shaped rooms are not recommended as Qi flow is disturbed, the best type of rooms are those that are square or rectangular in shape

13. If the child has a study desk in the room, it is advisable to position the desk with a solid wall behind and facing a favourable direction for the child
