For day 14, I'm sharing my perspective on sleep based on type/centers.
Traditional Human Design talks A LOT about how undefined sacral people should not sleep with defined sacral people. That if in relationship together, they "should" sleep in separate rooms/space. Essentially generators and manifesting generators will disturb the sleep of manifestors, projectors or reflectors.
This has not been my lived experience and in fact I think ajna and head center definition is more important. But lets go back to what traditional human design talks about.
The idea behind the sacral definition is that undefined sacral people need to be in their own energy to more deeply rest. That the energy of defined sacral people will keep them too jazzed to sleep. This has not been my experience and is something I think is so dependent on the two people regardless of type/design/definition etc.
Here are my thoughts:
- Experiment! If this rings true for you and your partner, great.
- If the undefined sacral partner is around people all day and never has a chance to be alone, it may be true that they need to sleep alone because they don't have waking time to release excess energy
- If the defined sacral person is good with their energy management and aren't still buzzing at the end of their day, but have fully drained their battery in the best kind of ways, plus good energy clearing and boundaries, they won't be putting off the same kind of energy.
- King size beds.
It has been my experience that I had many more issues having an undefined head and ajna and having a partner with a defined head and ajna. I could "hear" their thoughts often at night and sometimes it felt really loud. The mind activity was really challenging for me regardless of the fact that we were both generators.
My projector partner sleeps just fine next to me - we have an interesting bed situation, but it is basically king size width and grounded by being on the floor. The bed gets moved/picked up every day so part of me also wonders about energy not getting stuck it a normal "immobile" bed. Who knows, it works for us though. We both have undefined head and ajna centers and they stay open in our connection chart.
I have heard from other people, particularly when both sacral defined partners, that sleep is better solo when one partner has defined head and ajna and the other doesn't.
If one partner isn't sleeping well, experiment if you can! Sleep is so important and being well rested makes for better relationships.
If you're in relationship and co-sleep, do you know these elements of yours/your partner's charts? If so, what is your perspective/experience?
Don't know? You can run a free individual chart here or a free composite chart here.
