Bed Rotting

[Lubener]

All I can do is shake my head at this. When I was growing up, a kick in the pants by my father was the required therapy.

Experts warn about ‘bed rotting’ trend

It may sound like a painful medical condition, but the TikTok trend of “bed rotting” is actually a form of self care, some claim.

I had to feed cows, check fences, mow the yard. Pull corn. No time for that. I was running a chainsaw when i was 13, i don't hear so good now.

If the "rotting" is isolated and infrequent, and the person is otherwise a productive element of society, then spending a day in bed (on one's day off) to relax is potentially helpful. Everyone has their own "therapy" mode of relaxation.

If the "rotting" is days of languishing after doing nothing useful and attempting to escape an otherwise reasonable expectation of productive life, well then yes - it's a problem in need of a butt-kicking.

Ditto. I had to milk 'em too. The roosters told me when to get up. My body told me when to go to bed. No time for 'bed rot'.

I thought this was going to be about truck beds corroding. Now it turns out it's much worse.

I wonder if 'bed rotting' has anything to do with why our military can't meet it's recruiting goals?

That and the inability to do ten pushups.

Does one have to wear a diaper for this experience?

Yeah, it’s got nothing to do with poor pay among other issues

I could never "bed rot". The first hint of sunlight, I'm wide awake and ready to go. I've been that way since I was a kid.

If it's on Tik Toc it's gotta be good.

I thought this thread was going to be about some type of "social decay," or other weirdness. Maybe a disease or something.

I could never do that. I have to be out and about doing something. I barely sleep as it is. Usually in bed by 3am sometimes earlier sometimes later. Usually by 1:30 on work nights. Then up at 5:45 on workdays and usually by 8 on weekends. As soon as I get up I am out of bed going to take my dog for a walk and get on with my day. I can’t sleep if it’s daylight outside. Heck my parents sleep until about 12pm I go walk by their bedroom they are laying there snoring away sleeping lol I don’t see how they can do that. If light is shining through the window I’m up. I’m not a sleeper. I’ve never been one to sleep more than 5 hours or so. That’s no joke. My logic is sleep when you die live your life while you can. I will say whenever I’m asleep nothing will wake me up no noises nothing only if someone came and physically got me up would I be up.

Man.....I wish I could get by on as little sleep as you do. I've got to have 7 to 8 hours or I'm half dead the rest of the day.

I don’t worry about what others do with their down time.

While I am not a licensised psychiatrist, it seems to me associated with depression and fear of the world.
