I'm definitely a bed rotting advocate, I just wish it was ,for example, less scrolling more reading. I know that personally I feel comfortable not well rested when I scroll in bed for hours there's a lot of other things you can do while rotting;sleeping, journaling,colouring, even crocheting, that will benefit more than doom scrolling. Especially as a creative allowing yourself to sit and do nothing is extremely beneficial but scrolling and binge watching can be pretty tasking for the brain.
It'll leave you feeling exhausted and that's without considering the other emotions reading the comment section on reels or ticktock, hearing snipets of incel podcasts, and seeing another microtrend pop up will bring you.
I just feel like our time online should be associated less with rest.
I hadn’t heard of bed rotting before. It sounds like a perfect habit for me. And a beautiful way you have talked about judgement of women and emotions - whether they are showing them or not and whether this is a good or bad thing. Perhaps those judging could try a bit more bed rotting
Love this contemplation of the term bed rotting! The term itself sounds so negative, like if we’re resting it’s a sickness or a condition and not just a natural thing we should do. I think it’s normal to rot/rest in the winter.
Olivia Rodrigo’s performance on SNL was so iconic! There are a few monologues from Little Women (2019) that are on my list of best female rage scenes. I often rewatch that movie in the fall/winter to have my annual angry cry session!
thank you so much for the shoutout Summer! I loved this article 🫶🏻 listening to Olivia Rodrigo definitely lets me tap into my female rage and full range of emotions in a private way.
