sleeping
do you sleep with your head to the door or your feet to the door?
There are some things we do not do because they are done to dead people and we do not want to emulate a dead person. Some say the direction a person sleeps on his bed is included in this inyan. According to some people in the Chevra Kadisha, a dead person is taken out of the room feet first, and therefore one should not sleep with his feet pointing directly at the door.(16) Other people say a dead person is taken out head first, so one should not sleep with his head pointing at the door.
The custom seems to be lenient and one may sleep with either his head or feet pointing in the direction of the door. Nonetheless, one should not sleep with his feet (or head) directly in the position as if one is about to be taken out of the room.(17)

One is supposed to sleep with his/her feet to the door.
are you sure? i think the opposite
Head to the door... of course- unless you consider yourself to be dead, in which case you can go ahead and put your feet to the door.
