Would you sleep on the floor…?
Well, I would.
Inspired by the video
@₿en Wehrman reposted (which I cannot find right now), I tried sleeping on the floor (only yoga mat and a blanket below me) for 7 days, and here is what I noticed:
1. Sleeping on the floor was much more pleasant than I expected. Quite frankly, I’m sold. Now, I have to convince my wife… To make peace with my her, I’ll probably come to a consensus on a rather hard mattress placed just on the floor.
2. My body didn’t hurt as much as I expected and only on the second night did I find myself struggling to lay comfortably. Other than that, easy peasy.
3. My lower back pain greatly softened. It’s not fixed yet, of course, but I can definitely see the difference when I sleep on the bed and it is most likely due to the many “not so healthy” positions that I am able to enjoy on the bed, which the floor wouldn’t accept.
4. It’s much colder on the floor, so unless you have heated flooring it may be a good idea to add a blanket or two on top of ya! It’s naturally cold in Scotland, especially this time of the year, so I found myself waking up a few times, when my wandering leg or hand exposed me too much.
5. And the BIGGEST THING - it is true, I didn’t need as many hours of sleep to feel refreshed and relaxed as I would while sleeping on the bed. When I would usually go to sleep around 22:00, my alarm gets me up just before 7:00 (9 ish hours I aim for), but when sleeping on the floor, I would consistently wake up just after 6:00 (one time even 5:30!) and feel like it’s been more than enough and it’s about time I get up.
Suffice to say, I had much longer days to work with (haha) and my book reading streak improved.
So, yeah. Thank you so much
@₿en Wehrman for sharing yet another fun fact to work with. Let me know how did your floor-sleeping go!
And to all of you, who got this far with the post:
Try something new today, even if it sounds outlandish. Nobody has to know you did and I am certain simply by doing something out of the ordinary you can spice up your life a little. Good luck!
