Five items by the bed in the bedroom can be deadly. The bedroom is the place where people rest every day, and it is also a space where intimacy between partners can be developed. And in this cozy space, the arrangement of items is particularly important, especially at the head of the bed. The items placed there not only affect the atmosphere of the bedroom but also have an impact on a person’s health. So, what things are not suitable to be placed by the bed? 1. Small electrical appliances such as radios. All electrical appliances should be kept away from the bed. Some appliances, although small in size, can emit significant levels of radiation, such as radios, mobile phone chargers, and small mosquito repellent lamps. If it is truly necessary, it is best to place it in a corner away from the bed. The power strip should be at least 2 meters away from the bed head; otherwise, the radiation levels increase when it is in use, which can affect health. 2. Green plants. Green plants can purify the air, increase oxygen levels, and relieve stress. However, at night, their respiration process consumes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, which can lead to a lack of oxygen over time, making it difficult to fall into deep sleep and causing persistent fatigue. Furthermore, large amounts of mold may be present in the soil, and having it near the bed can trigger respiratory diseases such as allergies or asthma. If plant decoration is desired, a small number of hydroponic plants such as snake plants or cacti can be placed. 3. Pillow. Some people like to place pillows at the head of the bed and stack them aside while sleeping, which has an impact on both the cervical spine and sleep quality. Firstly, the ideal height for a pillow is 10–12 centimeters, while using a headrest or stacking pillows will increase its height ； Secondly, pillow cushions can harbor pathogenic microorganisms, mites, and dust; inhaling these substances can easily lead to bronchial problems ； Finally, a bed cluttered with various items can also cause psychological stress, take up space, and make it uncomfortable to sleep. 4. Plush toys. The surface of stuffed toys can easily hide dust, bacteria, and formaldehyde. Some stuffed toys that lack proper labeling are filled with harmful chemical fibers, which can cause tears, redness, and even respiratory and skin infections. Do not keep any stuffed toys in the bedroom, especially not ones that children can hold while sleeping. 5. Alarm clock. Waking up frequently due to an alarm clock by the bed can lead to chronic stress, causing problems such as high blood pressure, poor sleep quality, and depression. It is best to keep the alarm clock at a distance of 1.8 meters from the bed or place it even further away.
