From Quiz Feng Shui Sleeping

Answer: South

If we are to believe that the motion of the Earth affects sleep, then it would be more logical, perhaps, to sleep with one's head facing East or West in order to assume an imaginary incumbent position. To sleep with one's head facing North or South in the northern hemisphere would render one either upright or upside-down (and vice versa for the southern hemisphere). If you think it could make a difference, there's no harm in moving your bed. A change is as good as a holiday they say!

From Quiz Do you know how to Feng Shui?

Answer: Fresh flowers

Crystals add romance to your life. Add one in the southeact section of your bedroom (but don't over do it) or a glass chandelier in the entry way or the dining room. If a chandelier is placed in the southwest of your room, it brings positive relationships to everyone who live in the house. To be more popular, ignite more romance or have a better social life, hang wind chimes where brezze will make them chime. You can also place them in front of sharp corners or seating places to avoid negative energy. Paintings and pictures of couples encourage couples to have a strong and happy relationship. Watch out though, a picture of a peony brings new romance to your life, whether married or not. Don't use it if you don't want to break up with your partner.

From Quiz Feng Shui Sleeping

Answer: As a "cure" for bad energy

Many Feng Shui masters recommend using pot plants as a "cure" for bad energy, and in living rooms they are wonderful not just for their oxygenating properties but also for their calming, natural presence. In bedrooms, however, if you need more oxygen it would be healthier to invest in a portable oxygen tank than to sleep in the same space as pot-plants living in germ-laden soil, providing an ideal hidey-hole for little critters which come out at night and either buzz around your face or bite you to death!
