Sleeping and Swar
Right or Sun Swar during sleep, that is, sleeping on the Left side is recommended. Sleeping supine when the Susumna Nadi is active is not conducive to restful sleep. In this posture, one can experience nightmares and bad dreams.
Waking Up and Swar
During waking up, it is ideal to be in Right or Sun Swar. However, during awakening if one notices Left or Moon Swar, then stay in bed longer until Right or Sun Swar becomes active.
Waking up with Right or Sun Swar (i.e. on your left side) leads to a fresh and active day.
Waking up with Left or Moon Swar (i.e. on your right side) leads to fatigue and laziness.
Good Relations and Swar
When speaking to an angry individual, if we keep our quiet (inactive) Swar facing him, his anger will diminish because the quiet Swar's cool energy will counteract the heat of individual's anger.
Moving Into a New Home & Swar
Moving into a new home in Left or Moon Swar is more auspicious and results in peace in the home and loving relationships among family members.
Starting of Auspicious Activities & Swar
If one starts auspicious activities in Left or Moon Swar, success becomes more assured. <

The science of Swar says that when we breathe through the left nostril, our right cerebral hemisphere is activated and emotions like faith, religion, humanity, wholesome behavior, spirituality, knowledge, and a peaceful state of mind are experienced.
