A new trend has taken over TikTok in New York, where people are spending the majority of their day in bed, commonly referred to as “bed rotting.” Countless individuals have joined this viral trend, sharing videos and photos of themselves indulging in various activities while remaining in bed. Whether it’s eating, watching TV, reading books, or working on laptops for school or college, participants are hesitant to leave their beds.
However, experts are expressing concerns about this trend, emphasizing that it can have adverse effects on both physical and mental health. The hashtag “#bedrot” has gained substantial popularity as more and more individuals contribute to this trend. Medical professionals caution that prolonged engagement in this practice can significantly disrupt the sleep patterns of young people, with potential repercussions lasting for months.
In addition to spending excessive time in bed, participants are also seen binge-watching different seasons of movies or dramas while consuming food and beverages. Moreover, they tend to waste considerable amounts of time engaged in lengthy phone conversations with friends.
