Is it normal that i sleep soundly facing certian directions?

I have made this observation about myself and wondering if this happens to other people as well. When I sleep south and west I have normal dreams and fall asleep quickly, but when I sleep north and east I have nightmares and have trouble falling asleep.

When I don't know where I am I sleep facing up because I don't want risking having a nightmare.

Is this normal?

    this might be explained with fen shui. I"m not real familiar with that though to tell you one way or another. I do know that for example people that have lost a limb and have what's called 'phantom pain' should sleep with their head facing north, so from that I can say that is does affect us. I would read some fen shui to understand it more in detail though.

    It's psychalogical you expect to have nightmares on tht side cos you've maybe been right about it twice in a row so you think that sleep on one side for a whole year and you'll get both

    I normally sleep on the right side of the bed, facing away from the centre. I don't even know where west is from there.

    It is probably a self-fulfilling prophecy; when you face east or north you expect to have a bad nights sleep, so you end up having a nightmare. Just a theory :)

      I agree with Dom. There's an easy way to prove it. If you check the direction in the morning only, you'll see if there's a pattern.

      If could be that both the nightmares and the direction you choose to sleep are symptomatic of something else, though. I.e., eating a big meal before bed may make it more comfortable to lie a certain way as well as increase the chance of remembering your dreams because you have a restless night.

    I've never thought about what orientation I get to sleep in, but I always get to sleep on my left side.
