Is ‘Bed Rotting’ Actually Bad for You?

Burrowing under the covers all day sounds dreamy, but experts say too much ‘bed rotting’ can mess with your mental and physical health. While TikTok makes it look like the ultimate self-care, staying in bed for hours (or days!) can actually make you feel more drained and down. The trick? Use it sparingly—set a timer, get up for snacks, and maybe swap your phone for a book. Listen to your body, but don’t let your bed become your whole world! #Health #MentalHealth #BedRotting
