Do You Partake in 'Bed Rotting' ?
Ask a Question
When i first saw the title i immediately thought it was to do with not changing the bed sheets as i had not heard of the term
Then the article made it clear it wasn't this , but means lying in bed all day
This could range from having a bed day on the weekend , watching movies for example , to a regular occurence
The experts say it is not good to lie in bed all day as this could be masking some kind of depression , and people could be hiding away from the world this way
Do you think it is a normal occurrence and nothing to worry about or something that should be a concern ?

Nope on stay in bed all day if I'm sick which isn't often. It's a teenager thing. Certainly not as an adult
Jerseydrew You say that it's a teenage thing and I agree in the past it was, but nowadays I know several adults who will stay in bed watching netflix all day on their days off. I couldn't do it myself really unless the weather was really terrible.
Once I'm awake I'm out of bed I don't have a tv in my room either neither do my kids
Is another saying for this A duvet day??, unless I've had an operation that renders me in a hospital bed, there is no way l would bed rot.... laying in bed all day watching movies would bore me senseless. My bed is for sleeping in (and that would be bliss just to get 5 hour straight) 
I have never done this unless I am not well. To me it would be a waste of a day. I can understand the hiding away from the world though.
Only time I spend more than 7 hours in bed is if I am seriously ill and that hasn't happened in a good many years thank God.My dad never let me lie about in bed when I was young and living at home.I could stay up later than most but was never allowed to linger in bed.There were always house jobs assigned.
I stay in my bedroom if I’m not going out and no one is visiting. I have everything i need upstairs but no toilet downstairs and I’m quite disabled. I dont lie in bed unless I’m proper poorly but I do stay in my room. Why should I go and sit in another room if there is no need to ?
suevernon1968 I agree with you about this, I stay in my room no tv only in living room use my phone a lot but don’t eat in my room only sometimes but then I drop crumbs on bed lol 
I can't stay in bed, once I'm awake I get up straight away , I've got the flu bug at the moment, id love to get in bed but things to do.

I find as i am getting older i spend less time sleeping, i am a late riser as i sleep late , i used to need 8 hours sleep when younger, now i find 6 to 7 hours is ample
I do feel tired when i get up but am wide awake within 30 minutes
I also think it helps doing it this way as if you are a bit weary at night it helps you sleep faster and deeper
telmel I agree with you about this if I sleep more than 6 hours I get dizzy 
whereas sleeping about 5/6 hours I am fine even have tried 3 or 4 hours also no problems once I’m awake that’s it, I don’t take naps but when it’s time to sleep 
I fall asleep quicker and I think 
deeper too but always wake up early around half 7
I have my normal bed but I also have a day bed in the living room rather than a sofa. When I can't move much at all you will find me on the day bed, doing Latest Deals, arts & crafts or watching media on the laptop. It's not really bed rotting, more like I'm stuck here so what-ing lol.
EmmaWright762 That's fully understandable E, when you are ill as in your case you cannot use this term , i think it is only meant to refer to those who choose to overstay their bed welcome because of self-indulgence
I don't partake in it. We don't have a TV in the bedroom. Only the living room. The only time I partook in bed rotting was when I was at uni and we couldn't afford the heating.
No I can't do that. If I'm awake I get up and this normally at 5am. I sometimes go back to bed to wake the Mrs up and bring breakfast and have that with her in bed but once that's done I'm back up again. I get far too agitated in bed to sit or lay there for too long
I think the last time I laid in bed until past midday was when I was recovering after an operation. I'm not one for staying in bed these days, I have always had a tv in my room but don't watch it 
.
Never been one to lay in bed all day on my days off my partner always as a lay in on Sundays people who lay in bed all day it's so bad for ones health I like the name they have given it bed rotting
What an awful phrase Bed Rotting is.Never heard of it before.I wouldn't dream of either a Bed Rot or Duvet day.I appreciate each new day and make sure that I am up and about by 7 am feeding my cats.Having had cancer, I treasure each day and make an effort to get the most out of each one.
