Is staying in bed all day good for you? A new 2025 survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine says many young people think so! About 31% of Gen Z now practice "bed rotting." This means staying under the covers for a whole day to relax and reset from stress.
While 56% of Americans try sleep advice from social media, older people aren't sure. Only 5% of seniors have tried "rotting." Most prefer a simple walk outside! From sleepy drinks to viral trends, it seems we will try anything for a good rest - except, perhaps, turning off our phones!
| A: | Have you tried this "bed rotting" thing? |
| B: | Yeah, it's like a mini-vacation under the covers! |
| A: | Sounds interesting, but I prefer my morning walks. |
| B: | You should try it once! It's so relaxing. |
| A: | Maybe, but I think I'd miss the fresh air. |
| B: | True, but I like to wear my pajamas all day! |
