The Dangers of ‘Rotting’ in Bed: Sleep Expert Warns of Mental Health Risks
We’ve all been guilty of it at some point: spending hours in bed, binge-watching Netflix or mindlessly scrolling through our phones. However, according to sleep expert Marcel van Slaapidee, this seemingly harmless habit can have serious consequences for our mental health.
In a recent interview, Marcel van Slaapidee warned that “remaining ‘rotting’ in your bed can cause mental problems.” This warning comes as the trend of doing everything in bed becomes increasingly popular, especially among children and young adults.
“Chilling, eating, gaming, and scrolling in bed have become the norm for many individuals, but it’s a trend that we should be wary of,” Marcel explained. He emphasized the importance of establishing a clear distinction between our bed as a place of rest and intimacy, and other activities such as studying, working, or scrolling on our phones.
While spending extra time in bed may initially seem relaxing, Marcel cautioned against turning it into a habit. “Feelings of sadness or stress may arise as a result, and it can lead to social isolation and procrastination,” he stated. Furthermore, he highlighted the potential for this habit to disrupt our sleep patterns and lead to sleep disorders.
In light of these concerns, Marcel provided some tips for better sleep in the new year. He recommended prioritizing regular exercise, healthy eating, and establishing a fixed sleep schedule. Additionally, he advised creating a calming sleep environment with a cool, quiet room.
For those who are still struggling to achieve restful sleep, Marcel suggested considering the quality of their mattress, pillows, and sheets. He also welcomed individuals to visit Slaapidee stores in Apeldoorn or Nunspeet for further guidance and support.
As we head into the new year, it’s essential to reevaluate our habits and prioritize our mental well-being. By making conscious choices to promote healthy sleep habits, we can better support our overall health and happiness.]
