Wash your feet

Always wash your feet before bed to promote good sleep. If you don't, negativity can linger in your room. Washing feet before sleeping helps prevent bad and scary dreams.

Sleeping direction

For 5 Saturdays, visit a Shani temple to donate your 'shadow.' Fill a bowl with oil, see your reflection, and donate it. Donating sesame seeds also helps. Do this for 21 weeks.

On Saturdays, chant Hanuman's name and tie a black thread on your index finger to calm your mind and banish fear. This helps prevent nightmares. Reciting Hanuman Chalisa before bed helps too.
