Dr Giuseppe Aragona, GP at OnlinePrescriptionDoctor (UK), explains: "Some people think that worrying about placing a mirror opposite the bed is superstitious or silly. In fact, there is a lot of psychological evidence that the position of the mirror can affect your sleep."

Dr Giuseppe explains that placing a mirror opposite the bed makes you feel like you are being watched. Even when the lights are off, this feeling persists. The feeling of insecurity varies from person to person, but if you are prone to panic attacks, have trouble sleeping or wake up at night, it is best to avoid hanging a mirror opposite the bed.

Sleep expert Ryan Thaker supports Dr Giuseppe's theory. Meanwhile, many feng shui experts believe that hanging a mirror opposite the bed duplicates and unbalances the energy in the room, thus disrupting the tranquility of your mind. This directly affects a good night's sleep.

Where should you hang a mirror in the bedroom?

Dr. Ryan recommends placing a mirror opposite a window to reflect your vision. He says this provides more positive energy. This tip also brightens the room and helps you sleep better.
