Bed rotting can be harmful to our health in these ways, take care!!
Do you just lie down on the bed for a long time without sleeping but busy scrolling through the social media or binge watching etc, you might not be alone!!
It is noteworthy that bed rotting can be a way to overcome stress, depression etc and many these days do this. Bitter truth is that bed rotting would become harmful if it replaces social interaction, physical activities and daily routines etc.
Our health can get affected by bed rotting in these ways.
Weakens muscles and joints etc:
When we just lie down on the bed for a long time, our joints would turn stiff and we could get muscle atrophy etc. It must be taken into account that without any movement our body`s muscles in back, legs etc begin to weaken leading to back pain, poor posture etc.
Disrupts sleeping patterns:
When we spend excess time on the bed during the day, then our body`s circadian rhythm would get disrupted. By this, we could get issues in sleeping during the night plus poor sleep quality, insomnia etc. This would create a cycle of fatigue and bed rest etc.
Increases depression and anxiety etc:
Point is that bed rotting that starts as a coping mechanism could worsen mental health also. Truth is that the lack of sunlight coupled with physical activity etc would deepen sadness, isolation and anxiety etc. This could result in depression etc.
Lowers cardiovascular health:
The blood circulation would slow down when we simply lay on the bed for a long time. This could further result in blood clots, high BP, heart disease etc. So, please be careful.
Leads to weight gain:
By just lying on the bed the whole day, lowers calories burnt. Truth is that when we eat at this time it could lead to weight gain.
Weakens immune functions:
Our immune system would get impaired due to sedentary lifestyle and disturbed sleep etc. Bed rotting could worsen chronic stress leading to more inflammation markers and less white blood cells that fights infections etc.
Digestive issues:
Lying down after e eating meals would cause digestive problems like bloating, constipation and acid- reflux etc. Bowel functions would get stimulated by movement and lying on the bed or being inactive would disrupt this.
Increases bedsores etc:
It is possible to get bed sores etc if a person lies down on the bed for a longer time. Bed sores would be due to the pressure on the skin and tissues.
Strains relationships:
By bed rotting, relationships would get strained. We would feel isolated from family and friends etc. Absence of communication can further lead to loneliness and detachment etc.
Lowers self esteem:
We might not be productive if we stay in bed for a long time and this would bring our self esteem down to a huge extent. It must be noted that over time we could find it tough to get motivated to engage in work, hobbies etc. So, please take care.
