Besides having manners as practiced by Prophet Muhammad, Islam also has prohibitions regarding sleeping, specifically related to the sleeping direction. Perhaps, the sleeping direction is not given much attention, but it is actually important to be noted. Islam teaches about the proper direction when sleeping. Furthermore, this rule is also practiced by Prophet Muhammad and taught to his followers. With the hope that Muslims can follow and practice it in their daily lives. So, which direction is prohibited in Islam when sleeping? Here is a summary as compiled by Dream from various sources.

Nah, the prohibited sleeping direction in Islam is facing towards the left. Besides being a religious decree, it also has its own health benefits. Sleeping on the left side is very good for heart health. Considering that the heart is under the pressure of the larger right lung compared to the left lung. In this way, it will burden the function and performance of the heart. Consequently, the impact will be very beneficial, especially for elderly people.

As explained in the following hadith, "Lie down on your right side." (HR. Bukhari and Muslim) The above hadith becomes a command to prioritize sleeping on the right side and using the right hand as a pillow. Additionally, sleeping on the right side makes it easier for you to wake up for performing the night prayer or tahajud prayer. On the other hand, sleeping facing the left can make you lazy to wake up.

This was also stated by Ibnul Qayyim ra as follows: "Sleeping on the right side is recommended in Islam so that one does not have difficulty waking up for the night prayer. Sleeping on the right side is more beneficial for the heart. On the other hand, sleeping on the left side is beneficial for the body (but makes one lazier)." From a health perspective, sleeping facing the right side is very good for heart health. The reason is that in this position, the heart will not be compressed by other organs. Therefore, Dream friends can be protected from heart function failure.
