Bed rotting AFTER getting things done for the day is great. Bed rotting before you complete your tasks is a recipe for disaster. I’ve been coming out of a recent depression, and simply getting myself out of bed first thing sets the tone for the rest of my day.

As a Gen Z that started therapy at 12/13, I left TikTok a looong time ago due to this kind of behavior. I understand that for some people, 'bed-rotting' is their main coping strategy, but as someone who has gone through therapy in my formative years and understands why social media is misleading at best (and downright evil at worse), 'bed-rotting' is not coping, let alone helping. It is arguably an escapist strategy that shows there is a larger problem happening. I think that if more Gen-z were offline more and actually willing to take these conversations offline, they would receive the help and connection that would move them out of the bed-rot. I spent soooo sooo much time fighting bed-rot (I still do), but I am now in a point in life where I can see how bed-rot is actually a villain to me feeling soothed or genuinely seen and supported. Staying isolated, in bed, with no outward expression of emotions is a spiral downwards. The fact that some Gen z are also using it to watch social media only makes it worse in my mind, because this fuels another layer of disconnect from the outside world and genuine friendships and support systems. Thank you for making this video Ana. ❤

As someone who took a mental health day today, and often partook in rotting during the height of my depression, bed rotting is the last thing my mental health needs. I’m going to school full time and work full time, getting the responsibilities done or having a day just for hobbies is great, wasting an entire 12 hours being comatose feels like such a waste of the avg 60 years I have left to live. Young adults who readily throw away those days 1-2 times a week is insane. That’s so much time they’ll never get back

Well, I don't have many friends but the ones I have, I cherish. So, I often spend my time alone and I'm totally fine with it. The only thing that I'm really guilty of, is celebrating my siesta. Apart from that, I still try to get up at 8 am and I always try to go to bed before midnight. To be honest, I lost my job this year.

I've been bed rotting for a few months now, watching this video as well as reading the comments has been really helpful for me. I use it as a kind of escapism and run away from my own emotions, thoughts and responsibilities. This started occurring more and more after I started college. I did well academically, however everything has been so overwhelming. I have a hard time making friends; I have a habit of only seeing the worst in people. So, to run away from my emotions of loneliness I'd just go to my phone and lay in bed all day. I usually don't even do my chores (I do laundry like once every 2-3 weeks it is pretty disgusting sorry anyone who reads). That's my story I guess. I'll try to stop my habit of bed rotting from now on. Thank you Ana and the community for the helpful video and comments. And to anyone who's reading this and going through a hard time, you're not alone. Please care for yourself and look after yourself, not by bed rotting but by doing your responsibilities.

It's related to Covid but not in the ways you might think. We all are more isolated in our 'cells' slash apartments since we have had a reduction in our 'third spaces.' And we are more screen dependent. As a sensitive person, I notice I have inflammation and eye problems from being around LED and other high-brighness screens. Night time headlights in people's cars are also brighter than they've ever been. These higher performance lights put a lot of stress on our nervous systems.

I agree with everything you are saying but what about looking at the root cause? gen Z and millennials have it rough compared to the previous generations. Most of us can’t afford a home, to raise children, to live a good quality of life without being in debt. Even if they are married. The economy and inflation has never been worse. It’s not easy and the youth are working so so hard for so little reward so it’s no surprise they are burnt out and seek comfort in their beds. Also I think the TikTokers are just making funny relatable content to go viral. There’s comfort in laughing at our insecurity. I don’t believe anyone genuinely sees constant bed rotting as a good thing.

I think a lot of it has to do with gen z being the first generation to come of age knowing that the future is one of decline and probable doom. My nieces are gen z and they feel no purpose and see no point in striving for anything. I’m in my 40s and I totally get it, I grew up believing the world I was inheriting from my parents was gonna be better and more prosperous, but once I hit my 30s it was increasingly obvious that the material conditions of the vast majority of people in the world would only be getting worse and more difficult to navigate. No matter how hard we work we will never truly get ahead. Unless you were fortunate enough to be born into wealth or a comfortable middle class family, you will have to try harder to just stay afloat. Maybe this IS just depression, I definitely have struggled with it, but I think this is a humanity-wide problem. It’s hard to envision a future worth working for, people have never been more individualized/isolated and it’s hard to feel like we hold any power to change the systems we exist within let alone our own lives. I’m gonna be that guy: it’s capitalism. Not sure who originally said it, but it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

This wasn't even a thing in the 80's. Never took one day to bed rot. Always something to do and any free time was spent having an adventure, doing something you wanted to try or enjoyed doing, which lead to enjoyment, fulfillment, and usually a good night's rest esp. if physical activity was involved. Life is too short to be bored if you want to live a good life. You have to develop interests. Making time to watch good movies with intelligence behind them or music listening are also ways to destress, as is meditation, gentle yoga, etc. And taking a nap once in awhile is also good for you.

I see from multiple sides how odd being online and having these terms can be- to "rot" in bed sounds like accepting death. Though on another side it feels like a counter-culture to hustle culture, or the feeling like you constantly have to be doing something at all times inevitably leading to burn-out, perfectionism, and a feeling of never being good enough, hence low self esteem and high self shaming. I don't think just rotting till death or working till you die are good cuz they're both extremes. Instead keep moving, but focus on one thing at a time. Don't multi-task, and give yourself time to breathe and reflect between tasks like 5-20 minutes. Do energetic activities that aren't a task but a pass time you can enjoy, mental or outright physical. Though then again, this is the internet. With around 8 billion individuals making decisions there's gonna be different in action and intentions. So do what you will with your time, though at the very least reflect on the time you spend and if its what you want to actually be doing with you time both short term and long term.

Damn, I didn’t even know this was the term for it. I used to “bed rot” a lot in my early 20’s but looking back it wasn’t healthy. It was because I was genuinely not happy in that period of my life. Fast forward, I’m now married and a parent and now “bed rotting” is not even a thing anymore. My mental health has greatly improved. I will say I have been guilty of couch rotting all day when my child was away and it did not make me feel great. By the end of it, I felt like the life got sucked out of me and I did not feel rejuvenated at all! Only in certain situations is bed rotting healthy but to use it as pure leisure? Not good.

Last Saturday and Sunday I took my first rest days after 17 days and I did nothing and felt bad, assuming that's just the natural state of things, eventhough the past summer has been my most restful summer in a long time, where I was constantly doing things.This is what I needed to hear. Maybe rest is in maintaining that balance in between the underdoing and overdoing switch between.

I think there is a healthy cycle of exertion, rest and recovery and if you get stuck in one of those phases then your health will suffer. In addition to the proportion of rest to exertion being important, I think some types of rest are much more healthy and restorative than others. laying in bed consuming short form content for hours is a lot less healthy than taking a long walk and reading book when you get home.

I gotta be honest, I found myself feeling a bit defensive with this video, and shocker, I’ve been dealing with a bout of depression caused by the beginning of a stressful job while also doing a calculus course that I find really tough. So I’ve spent several days in the last months or so just laying in bed most of the day. When I was younger and feeling the same, I would spend nearly every Saturday this way. And I mean…I personally see nothing wrong with having a more ‘lazy’ day once a week. But when I’m healthy, those days consist of me reading in bed for a bit, then maybe cooking a nice meal, taking a short walk, having a long shower and then retiring early to watch a movie and draw. When I can’t even get out of bed to shower or make a decent meal for myself, I know that’s a sign that I’m not doing well. So this video was a reminder that I do in fact, need to pursue help at the moment.

But only laying in bed is never good for your mind and body. Everyone needs to consider their own health and their own life. Saying something is only bad or only good does not help anyone because we are all so different.

Interesting that your binge-watching was negative for you. Watching a show COMPLETELY feels very fulfilling to me. Obviously, when I have other responsibilities, those should be addressed, but if I have a couple of days to myself, I'll watch stuff. I don't do it mindlessly, I make notes, I playback some cool cuts if I see that it's edited or animated in a great way, or special effects are interesting, picking up how I could do it. It's a form of active recreation, so my brain expands. But yeah, it's really easy to forget that you should do something and submerge yourself in fantasy worlds this way. Laying down all day is super appealing because physical work, for instance, a waiter or a factory worker - those take a toll on your body, and it feels amazing when you don't, you know, feel pain. Sitting all day, concentrated on one task... It also involves SITTING, which is a physical activity as well. Why is it even considered an efficient mode of working? Cuz you were told to sit in school? My tailbone disagrees and so do my fellows who work laying down. Ideally I'd live in a matrix pod, vicariously experiencing everything through a robot. I think my cardiovascular system would feel fine, being submerged in goo would take care of uneven pressure that is definitely killing my knees, ankles and other bones, thusly making the life longer, more pleasurable (less painful) and more full of experiences, like enjoying art, which could be any art, but it's definitely going to be transcranial games and experiences packaged so densely that only a cyborg brain would be able to comprehend it. This went off the rails quickly

Is it okay to “bed rot” as a reward? What I mean is, I deep clean my entire apartment, make sure all my laundry is clean including my sheets, all trash is taken out, no dishes in my sink, and I’m showered. It’s only AFTER all that is when I allow myself to lay and rest. I’m someone who can’t relax if I know there’s even a sock in my laundry basket. What do you think? Or anyone at that 🤔 Edit : I have extreme epilepsy and I don’t work, I’m a stay at home partner where I cook, and I clean. I can’t have drive, take public transit and can’t necessarily hold a job because I have unpredictable seizures. After my seizures I feel completely disoriented and physically in pain but even when I feel that way I find myself trying to be productive knowing my partner is actively working. I feel guilty. It’s only ever couple of weeks where I decide and even tell my partner that I need a day where I don’t do anything because my epilepsy can be serve at times.

Its definitely in the middle. For me at least.. I cant sleep away chronic illness. and your letting your environment get gross is a sure to have more impacts. However I need rest. Laying down feels good in a way I can hardly describe, I feel a physical burden melt away as I stretch out my legs and embrace warmth. I've had to leave jobs because I couldn't physically keep up with them. the effort and stress would cause a flare up in my gut. I could lose blood and have to spend the day at home in exhaustion. I would much rather have a light work schedule that lets me rest as I need. I love working hard. I love the praise for the effort and size of my paycheck. I cant overcome my physical barriers though..

4:49 I agree. I'm trying to work towards my childhood dreamjob but I have trust issues in myself and the future due to trauma. If I had a job I would be able to finally find fullfillment but it's also hard to find the right job. I have auADHD so most jobs I started out with didn't last longer than 3 months because they wouldn't make me happy and force me into social situations I can't deal. It's easy to become addicted to electronics and bed rotting when you are unemployed and (job-wise) lost.

I know that this isn’t what the people on TikTok are talking about, but I just want to make the point that the idea of staying in bed isn’t nice or fun or at all appealing to me because of times in my life I have been bedridden due to ME/CFS.

On a day a normal person would have bed rotted, I went to the woods and screamed and talked to myself. I have too much motivation to bed rot for the ENTIRE day. People are taking advantage of these TikTok trends and societal shifts towards accepting mental health issues.

pot can also induce psychosis and trigger paranoid schizophrenia. Any addictive behavior to cope is pathological anyways so not exactly a good remedy.

Bed rotting days are bad. Self care days where you actually take care of yourself and do restorative activities are good. Sitting in bed all day isn’t a restorative.

As a professional rotter this shit sucks. Its a boring way to live but it is easy as hell. But i only rot cause of habit and I feel depressed or have some kind of negative feeling or something cause I dont wanna deal with it. Ive been doing it since i was a kid. Rotting is called that cause you're dying. It rots not only your body but your soul. I gotta fuckin kick myself out of the house and bike everymorning so I can actually live and face my life. I rot cause i cant ever disappoint myself if i dont set any expectations on myself. So i do the easiest things and turn to my bad habits. (KZitem, gaming, unhealthy food. But mostly youtube. KZitem fuck you you addictive piece of shit) Its good to chill. But its not good to rot. If you wanna chill make sure you arent doing stuff thats detrimental to your body/mind or try to limit it. A little bit of KZitem or junk food isnt the worst (tho be aware of the trap of this shit. Social media and junk foods designed to be addictive so moderating can be very hard. Especially if you're in the state of mind where you just wanna chill/rot, you have a lot less willpower when tired) But anyways just chill in healthy ways like going outside or maybe instead of KZitem watch a movie or read a book. Idfk Im just mad at myself and went on a rant. Ill leave this up tho it could be od value to other people. Sorry for the poor grammar, English is my first language.

I disagree with you, but I appreciate this take and will definitely agree that when it comes to depression it can be very unhealthy considering that it leans into the vicious cycle. I too did that after my last job and it lead to so much anxiety and depressive like symptoms. However, now that I am so busy with school I don't necessarily just sleep on those days because of the amount of work I need to do. So I typically sleep in Sunday, read something fun, dance, and make myself yummy meals while continuously going back to bed throughout the day to watch something or to nap.

I feel like bed rotting is being glamorized. It’s not a fun time to be unable to get out of bed to the point of having bedsores. It’s called bed ROTTING for a reason. If you can help it, I wouldn’t recommend spending a whole day in bed.

Your description for the channel says you have a manager to handle emails or advice, how does that even work, how does somebody apply to be a KZitem secretary manager? I have no idea how that conversation would get started to begin with, that’s a pretty niche job

Wow. WOW. I do this once in awhile for hours, and I just need to...not do stuff for a time. I get that. But entire days is a NEGATIVE. When I have those, it is because I am in a depressive episode, and unless I am down at my absolute worst, I still force myself to get up and do some things that are at least decent for me. Taking a few hours to just feel those sads, to decompress, to sit there and let my brain be a lying jerk telling me how bad I am is totally fine, as long as you interrupt that cycle after a few hours and get back to life, and interrupt that internal monologue spewing all that negativity. And even having a really bad day or two if things go terribly, and you spend most of your day in bed, once a month, twice a month maybe? Still depression, still a problem, but a minor, manageable dysfunction as long as you can get up and do things you need to. This is the opposite of that. This is..nuts. Once or twice a week, ALL day? I miss reading. Due to an eye problem, I can't read books anymore, and laying in bed listening to audiobooks just doesn't release for me like reading did. THAT was my "rotting" for most of my life; laying in bed and reading.

This is a new thing? Already invented, ain’t nobody got chores and my bed is essentially my bed and my couch. What are you supposed to do outside everyday that’s so important, people don’t call you first and you could probably stay silent for a month without them saying anything, where do you get the motivation from to convince yourself people outside the house are worth the effort

If you can keep it to once a week and generally meet your responsibilities and keep your life on track even with the bed rotting, I honestly don't see what the problem is. Then again, I don't subscribe to the idea that "if you CAN be productive, then you MUST be productive".

Seems like a coin flip. Could be okay, could be not okay. Could be avoidance for some; or it really could be an effective way of recharging. Observing with critical eyes is smart though.
