Vastu Tips: Keeping These Items Near Your Head At Night May Drain Your Wealth And Peace
Keeping certain items by your bedside can disrupt sleep, drain finances, and block good fortune. Vastu experts warn against placing these things near your head while sleeping
Hinduism includes many ancient scriptures that continue to influence people's daily lives even today. One such revered text is Vastu Shastra, which offers valuable guidance on living harmoniously with your surroundings. While many of its remedies are simple, they are believed to have a powerful impact when followed consistently, bringing peace, prosperity, and happiness.
However, ignoring these principles, even unknowingly, can invite negativity into one's life. One lesser-known but important aspect of Vastu is the effect of what we keep near our head while sleeping.
Medicines
According to Vastu Shastra, keeping daily-use medicines near your head while sleeping can prolong illness. It reinforces the energy of disease, increases anxiety and mental stress, and may cause Vastu Dosh (energetic imbalance in the home).
Items that show time—especially clocks that have stopped—should not be kept near your head. Vastu believes that a non-working clock can symbolise stagnation, leading to mental unrest, stress, and disrupted sleep.
Electronic Devices
Avoid keeping mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic gadgets near your head while sleeping. These devices emit radiation, disrupt natural energy flow, interrupt sleep cycles, and raise stress levels.
Shoes or Slippers
Keeping footwear near your bed—or worse, near your head—invites negative energy into the space. It can lead to unrest in the home, health problems, and even impact peace of mind and harmony in relationships.
Wallets or Money-Related Items
Many people unknowingly keep their purse, wallet, or even cash close to their head at night. Vastu experts say this can lead to increased expenses, financial instability, and is considered disrespectful to Goddess Lakshmi. It may also affect your ability to sleep peacefully.

Skip 10K Steps: How Japanese Interval Walking Delivers More In Just 30 Minutes
Last Updated: The Japanese Interval Walking technique has gained popularity on social media. This method is suited to those who want the benefits of running but prefer a lower-impact routine. For years, the magic number for fitness has been 10,000 steps a day. But a Japanese walking method, recently revived on social media, is proving that you can get better results in far less time. Known as the Japanese interval walking, it alternates between three minutes of brisk walking and three minutes of slower recovery walking, repeated for a total of 30 minutes. How The Japanese Interval Walking Works The concept is simple but surprisingly effective: the brisk intervals should be fast enough to leave you slightly breathless and unable to speak in full sentences, while the slow phases allow your body to fully recover. This shift in pace mimics high-intensity interval training (HIIT), but without the pounding impact of running. The Science Behind Japanese Interval Walking Japanese researchers have been studying this method for over two decades, particularly in older adults. In one landmark study involving 139 participants aged around 63, those who practised interval walking four or more days a week improved their peak aerobic capacity – an important marker of heart and lung fitness – far more than those who walked continuously. They also saw benefits like reduced blood pressure and stronger knee joints. In another trial, people with type 2 diabetes improved their blood sugar control and overall health with interval walking, even when calorie burn matched that of continuous walking. On average, fitness levels increased by 15–20% over a few months, with participants losing 3–5 kilos, mostly from body fat. Who Should Try Japanese Interval Walking? This style of walking is particularly suited to those who want the benefits of running but prefer a lower-impact routine. It's an excellent fit for middle-aged or older adults, beginners looking to build endurance, or anyone short on time. Already very fit? Simply swap the brisk walking segments for light jogging to keep the challenge high. More Than Just a Calorie Burner Beyond weight loss and fitness gains, interval walking offers additional perks: improved muscle strength, better heart health, and enhanced joint resilience. And unlike gym workouts, it requires no equipment, no membership, and no special training. How to Start Japanese Interval Walking? Begin with a 5-minute warm-up, then alternate between three minutes of brisk walking and three minutes of slow walking for 30 minutes. Do it three to five times a week, and track your progress over time. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Himachal govt seeks separate e-way bill to track narcotic substances under GST
Shimla, Aug 9 (PTI) In a move to curb the growing menace of drug abuse and prevent the diversion of narcotic substances from pharma companies, the Himachal Pradesh government has formally approached the GST Council, seeking the introduction of a dedicated e-way bill mechanism specifically for narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. With this step, the government aims to enable real-time monitoring of their movement across the supply chain, thereby tightening control at every stage. A state government spokesperson on Saturday said a committee was being constituted under the chairmanship of the sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) to oversee operations of licensed pharmaceutical companies dealing in narcotic formulations. 'This committee will include officers from the excise department, Police and Drug Control Authority and would be tasked with ensuring compliance with regulatory norms and preventing misuse of narcotic substances" he said. 'In addition, the Department of State Taxes and Excise has imposed quantity restrictions on the handling of narcotic drugs by license holders. This measure is intended to minimise the risk of excess stock being diverted for illegal use" he said. The spokesperson further added that the government was currently revising the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Rules, 1989 and updating the Integrated Drug Prevention Policy, aiming to strengthen the overall legal and administrative framework for drug control in the state. 'In line with its commitment to grassroots-level enforcement and public awareness, the government has also constituted district-level committees under the chairmanship of the respective deputy commissioners. These committees will ensure effective implementation of laws, facilitate inter-departmental coordination, and organize awareness campaigns, particularly targeting the youth" he said.

Hours Before Heading Home For Raksha Bandhan, Nurse Found Dead In Odisha Hospital
Last Updated: A nurse was found dead in a Bhubaneswar hospital bathroom with a needle in her hand, hours before Raksha Bandhan. Her family suspects foul play; police are investigating. A nurse was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the bathroom of a private hospital in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, just hours before she was scheduled to return home to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. The woman, while on duty, was found dead with a needle inserted in the back of her hand. Her brother told NDTV that police suspect she may have injected herself with a substance, leading to her death. However, the family has alleged the involvement of the hospital authorities, questioning why they were informed about her death only two hours after her body was discovered. 'We were initially told that she was found unconscious in the bathroom. Now, police are saying they found a syringe in her hand, which indicates suicide. I am unaware of any disturbance in her personal or professional life that could have led her to take such a drastic step," he said. According to the nurse's brother, they had recently spoken over the phone, and she was excited to go home in the Ganjam district to celebrate Raksha Bandhan after her duty hours. Police are probing the death from multiple angles, including accidental causes, health issues, personal relationships, workplace harassment, and family disputes. They are reviewing the hospital's CCTV footage and questioning staff members as part of the investigation, NDTV reported. Police have been deployed at the hospital. Earlier, in a similar incident reported on May 30, a nurse was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Cuttack. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
