Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

You should not lie down without having first washed your feet, without being purified, and you should not lie down with wet feet, with your head pointed west, with head pointed north, naked, in the company of others, or during the sunrise or sunset. There are eight items forbidden for sleeping. Aprayatā means impure. Amara-koṣa says pavitraḥ and prayataḥ are synonyms for “pure.” The head should not point west (na aparāṇ).
