TikTok users weigh in on the latest viral self-care term, 'bed rotting,' in which users post videos of themselves tucked under layers of blankets, oftentimes with a phone or snack in hand.
ATLANTA — After working another weekend shift, Dr. Jessica Gold returned home feeling burned out and succumbed to her urge to watch TV and sleep most of the day.Gold is one of the many TikTok users who weighed in on the latest viral self-care term, in which users post videos of themselves tucked under layers of blankets, oftentimes with a phone or snack in hand.
Bed rotting is similar to having a lazy day, but it's "more of an immobile term, with less activity," Gold said. "The urge to rot in bed all day, especially if it happens more and more, is likely about something more than just catching up on sleep or needing a day to do nothing, but avoiding the feelings, stress or pain of being awake," she said.
The bed should only be used for sleep and intimacy, not for activities such as watching television, working or eating, she said.
