The stuff next to your bed or on your nightstand could be preventing you from getting a good night's sleep.

A feng shui expert recently went viral on TikTok talking about things you should not have next to you while you sleep.  I'm not sure how much I believe in the old Chinese practice of feng shui.  If it works for you, awesome.

However, this made me think of things you should avoid having near your bedside for your safety and sleep.  Foreman grill didn't make the list. If you just laughed out loud, that means you watched The Office.
