How Bed Rotting Is Ruining Your Life

Bed rotting — the act of staying in bed for hours doing nothing productive — might feel like harmless self-care at first, but is it slowly pulling you deeper into burnout, depression, or anxiety? In this video, we explore the psychology of bed rotting, the signs it’s hurting your mental health more than helping, and what you can do instead to feel human again. We break down research-backed reasons why prolonged physical inactivity, avoidance, and emotional rumination worsen your overall well-being. Is your bed becoming a comfort zone or a cage? What’s been your experience — have you ever struggled to get out of a bed-rotting cycle?
