Lol, no. The bricks are literally there to make the bed higher so the demon can’t reach you.
Back in the day, the tribes would make their fires inside a near-sealed rondavel (hut). Science happens, hot air rises, denser & heavier carbon monoxide sinks to the floor. Everyone sleeping on the floor mysteriously dies, everyone perched slightly higher on stacks of shields or Hyde etc are spared. Must have been a midget demon that got those poor dead peeps 🤷🏼♂️
Later when the Europeans arrive and start giving them farm jobs, mining jobs etc, they are introduced to the modern bed, but the superstition persists. The further you are away from the floor, the safer you are from the Tokolosh.
Is the midget demon repelled by bricks like the vampires are by garlic?

Maybe it realises how dumb those intended victims are by doing that and it doesn't want to catch the stupid.
