What was described as the “bed rot challenge” swept the “Tik Tok” platform, while the term refers to a person staying in bed all day alone.
Dr. Jessica Gould, assistant professor of psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, looked at the “trend” where users post videos of themselves under layers of blankets, often with a phone or a snack.
And according to what was published by CNN, Gold believes that “it is good to practice this hobby if I need it, and I have allowed myself to do it as long as I understand why I am doing it and resort to other ways to deal with things,” and she believes that “rotting in bed” is like a lazy day, But it is “a more stable and less active term”. On a lazy day, an individual can still engage in activities they find enjoyable and relaxing and may spend time with friends and family.
At first glance, there are a lot of positives that can result from this behavior of recharging and renewal, according to Dr. Simon Rigo, professor of psychology and behavioral sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and chair of psychology and director of training programs at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City.
However, balance is important for psychological comfort and well-being, as spending too much time in bed can upset your mood and increase stress, says Rigaud.
And he adds, “Be aware and avoid exaggerating it, no matter how good you feel regarding it at the moment.” A “smelling” in bed for more than two days raises anxiety and may indicate various mental health problems, according to Gold, who added that the desire to spend the whole day In bed, especially if it happens increasingly, is usually caused by something more than a need for sleep or a need to get through the day without doing anything, but rather an avoidance of the feelings, stress or pain of being awake. These behaviors have been linked to symptoms of depression, anxiety disorders, and other mental health conditions.
In her opinion, “your sleep regimen may be compromised, and it can affect your mental health as well.”
“The bed should only be used for sleep and intimacy, not for watching TV, working, or eating,” says Kelly Glazer-Barron, MD, associate professor of family and prevention medicine at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, adding that as a general guideline, if you haven’t fallen asleep within 30 minutes, minute of getting into bed or if you are awake for more than 20 minutes during the night, you must get out of bed.
And she advises that, “If you want to relax in a comfortable place, it is best to choose to sit on the sofa or a comfortable chair.” “It’s normal to feel tired following a long day, but if it’s getting in the way of your work, social life, or other important activity, it’s a good idea to discuss your symptoms with a doctor,” she says.
Likewise, being “septic” in bed can cause you to isolate yourself and ignore your feelings, and may prevent you from participating in self-care activities that might help, says Gold.
But don’t feel pressured to participate in an activity that someone else finds relaxing, Rigo says, because “one person’s activity may be a burden to another.” Instead, learn skills that you support and see as hobbies, according to Gold. Some options include sitting with a friend, doing exercise, or practicing mindfulness. Gold said that if you don’t feel like going out, try reading a book or writing daily instead of watching TV. It may also be helpful to talk to a psychiatrist. Therapy can also help you learn supportive skills, understand the underlying cause of bed staleness, and determine whether there may be a mental health problem.
