I really really appreciate how immediate the video gets into the content instead of having a long intro. Thank you so much

U can watch 100s of Tutorials on deadlifts and still be clueless or u can just watch this video and put it in practice!! What an absolute gem Dr Stuart is..

I can listen to him for hours. Always analytical and scientific. No assumptions and generalisation. Entertaining too. 👍

Sleeping on the floor actually helped me with my upper back pain & improved rounded back & shoulders due to working constantly on the computer ... I'd actually get back the pain if I sleep on a mattress/bed within 2 days straight 🤔 (*Note: I sleep on a 5cm memory foam mattress topper on wood flooring)

I slept on a futon pad the floor for years and had no back problems Then I slept on a mattress for a couple of weeks and my lower back was really tight and hurt like hell.

The book by Bart Haex is titled: BACK AND BED Ergonomic Aspects of Sleeping.

This is a great video. He knows so much, and I learned a lot. Also, can we give a shout out for his wife and her athletic accomplishments and how much he supports her? That was also inspiring.

Wonderful interview!

Best sleep Ive had was on the floor. On a 7cm foam mattress. Took 2 weeks to get used to, but after that such a good sleep. Did that for several years. Funny thing I laid so still that people thought I were dead 😅 Now I have a 10cm mattress on rigid wood frame, thinking about getting a 7cm instead.

It doesnt matter how i sleep although on my side i prefer, i wake up with a stiff back. I find i have to sit in a chair/recliner for awhile to get the stiffness out of my back. At 50yo and facet joint arthritis, especially lying on my stomache just grinds my spine/facet joints to dust. The spinal curvature i get from sitting i think helps take pressure off the facet joints.

Since I’ve been doing this I’ve learned the best mattress is a hard wood floor and a yoga mat: it’s cheap, healthy, and the best sleep I’ve ever had lol.

I have been sleeping on the floor for around eight months and my skeletal system has never felt better. It takes about a week for your body to adjust, but totally worth it!

when i lived in japan the first month of lying on the floor was hell! sore backs every day. after a month we really started to just sleep flat on our backs, and slowly our body changed. now we love a hard mattress.

You and Stuart Mcgill are so awesome to listen to !

Thank you ❤❤❤❤

Great video man! I’ve been floor sleeping for little under a year and it has done miracles with more strength in the back as well as better posture while working . I would suggest anyone to try it out!

Damn this guy is amazing

How long does it take gravity to flatten the over curves in the spine?

I'm very thin but have cervical spine damage (headache 24/7 since 3 neck injuries starting on 10/1/1995) and then I did something wrong while doing yoga in 2/2020 and hurt my lower back. My spine is very curvy, which makes my butt cute, but the amount of lower back curve isn't good structurally. Anyway, at 56+ years old, I'm getting more and more pain and also have SEVERE insomnia. For almost 4 years, I was sleeping on a 4" thick memory foam and regular foam mattress topper on the floor. I loved it when it was on carpeting in apartments. But, my condo has wood floors, which made it a bit TOO firm...and I also felt societal pressure to get a "real" bed. I got a medium firm mattress with pillow top on a platform bed. Then for some stupid reason I felt it wasn't squishy enough, so I added a 2" (I think it's thicker than that) lumpy memory foam topper in the spring of 2021. I'm so desperate for both pain relief and sleep, I've recently tried sleeping on a yoga mat on the wood floor and also a sleeping bag on a yoga mat on the floor. It didn't go well. For one thing, I'm more of a side sleeper now than back sleeper. As a kid, I was a back sleeper. So, I tried removing the stupid mattress topper I bought and it IS helping, but it's not perfect. I'm still tempted to ditch me "real" platform bed and mattress and get a quality shikibuton to put on the floor.

I have the problem. With back pain lemi hope thise will work

Thank you for the video! Can I ask you - how did you fix the problem with your left leg… I have the same problem and I am a bit in panic.. Thank you in advance ❤

"Do you know who I sleep with? I mean... who my wife is?" Lmao Great interview man!

Hi I found you through researching Dr McGill, after pinging my back again, and waiting for it to settle. I listened to all your podcasts, which are very interesting and helpful. Are there any clinicians who studied Dr McGill's methods in the Newcastle area. I've found one master in London only so far.

I've done some looking around and now I'm starting to wonder and worry that sleeping on the floor without cushioning is going to cause me health issues since it seems like everyone else uses a cushion.

Already as a kid, I was a curvy girl. Big bum, big thighs, small waist, and wider shoulders again. My parents took multiple times photos of me, lying on my back on the floor, with my legs spread to each side. Now I'm considering sleeping on the floor since I never feel properly rested. I sleep on a bunk bed at the top.

After an accident where I broke my back and femur, I had to sleep on the floor for over 15 years! At first, it was hard as I did not know how to sleep on a floor. Today, 44 years later I sleep on a big tall bed. However I miss my floor!!! Today even a futon will work.

Thank you very much for this video. Interesting because I have degenerative discs (though in better than average shape for a 61 yr F) and love my memory foam bed. 🤔 I do roll around (I’m about 138 lbs. and moderately curvy) and wake up rested. I do attribute that to the emotional work that I do (tapping, sound therapy and energy medicine) because each time I have a session, my body has less pain and discomfort. It’s no secret that wellness starts in the mind. I absolutely do get discomfort and pain if I stay in bed too long, that was very interesting, I’ve always wondered about that. (I worked long and hard through solving the CFS, fibro and depression that I had for years) And of course posture matters 😂 My regards to your wife, she sounds complex and fascinating. That might be a new tagline for me « you’re not going to row through me… » 😉 UPDATE: I started sleeping on the floor (on a palette of assorted cotton and down blankets) and feel great. It’s been about three weeks and I find that I need less hours of sleep than I used to. 8 hours is enough…I used to easily sleep 8,9,10. I definitely have less aches and pains. I went back into the bed after 5 days (felt too lazy to drag out the palette) and felt worse in the morning. I don’t see myself ever going back into a bed.

I love seeing Bert’s portrait in the background ❤❤

I've seen sleeping on the floor for the past 8 months, took a while to get use to it

“It’s true because we did a study” I love to hear scientists say this, or people in general lol

Daniel Day Lewis definitely used Stuart McGill as the basis for his character in There Will Be Blood.

I have one of those butts. A lot of athletic "black" men and women do. That gap in the lumbar region is a problem when sleeping on my back. I've countered it with a lower back pillow and or an under knee pillow which rotates my pelvis thereby forcing my lower back to make contact. His lower back device sounds interesting.

I love how much he talked about his wife 😂 he’s so proud 😊 This was very educational

I have slept really good on a 3-inch memory foam. But the problem with that is that it is out gassing plastic fumes. It will ruin you over time.

Bro… the space travel astronauts part…. Sheeeeeeesh 😓

My friend sleeps in a hammock, whats your opinion on that?

interesting video! also Bert in the background is the definition of nightmare fuel

3:33 no wonder he looks like he works at NASA or is filming from space lol

I would love to know what people experience is who have a pelvic tilt by that i mean your but sticks out because your lower back curves backwards. If i lay on the floor on a yoga mat i don’t touch the ground with my lower back. Can sleeping on the floor straigthen out the curve? Also i do have neck and back aches so i am interested in this

It is well known from years!

If circulation gets restricted to the point your body parts ‘fall asleep’ with pins and needles, it is counterproductive. Then it is not a massage. There needs to be at least enough air space underneath you to allow blood circulation.

That wall art lmao

Is it better to use a futon or just hard floor with blankets

If your vertebra is in order you can sleep everywhere. Look at the little childs, they are able to sleep even on toys.

i tried it combined with foam rolling is hard to fall a sleep but spine feels solid when u wake up even iof feels fuked after waking up

Bart Haex - Back and Bed: Ergonomic Aspects of Sleeping

Can u become like Eddie hall with back pain

All over the world people sleepnon the floor. When i was in nogeria my back never felt so good because i slept on the floor on a mattress

This was very informative thank you! That doc loves his wife, its adorable!

I'm a skinny guy (5.9 feet tall at 132lb), yet i sleep on memory foam. Is it good for me? I feel very tired when waking up and it takes me forever. I have scoliosis since my adolescence.

Since he can not be available - How can we take help of his knowledge

I was wondering about hammocks

That settles it I'm going to sleep on the floor tonight my dog's not happy

"Do you know who I sleep with? My wife is..." 😂😂😂

Jonny/yusef- did you get drop foot?

pausing at 4:48 first time seeing more than one "Most replayed"

I got a few videos recommended where people say sleeping on the floor is healthy. Someone even said it is like being massaged for 8 hours straigth. I apprechiate hearing an other perspective on it. It seems like this is like anything in biology. There are things that work for some and doesn't for others.

Yoga mat is wreally working for me i just like the better rest your body is getting even from way less sleep then in a bed its insane the benefits it gives your body even the natural massage your body is getting from sleeping on the floor that's hard and firm not soft like a matras. Btw your saving a lot off money no bed/matras needed and you sleep better :) win win situation lol

If someone can resume the answer to the title it would be appreciated 🙏 (unfortunately don't have time to watch it)

The skeleton supports the muscle the body can heal much faster on the floor ancestors slept on hard surfaces they had no back problems

You could make a meme of '5cm is huge'

Burt! And you have to appreciate a man whose proud of his wife!

Why does Bert in the background look like he belongs in a horror film?

Memory foam mattress topper on the floor. You'll thank me later

Anybody with that type of moustache knows exactly what there saying

Firm is best.

Lying on a hard flat floor can ease back pain issues

Yoga mattress on hardwood floor. Pain free. Put something under your knees. It works.

Side sleepers ?

Does this address side sleepers

So: yes or no?

mcgill calling you a wirey type... you should have stood up, taken off your top, flexed the lats and said do these wings look wirey to you?

Sometimes I just wonder, how our species made it till today, without the inventions of the last 500 years.

why would I wanna improve my back pain instead of eliminating it?

this guys like the jordan peterson of spines. great stuff! thanks!

If you have back pain, sleep on the floor a few nights and you will be feeling better.

Let me ask you man, you had disk bulge right? I'm 22 and also haf disk bulge a year ago, so when did you had it and how old are you, did your bulge progress into something worse?

Yes or no be nice

The floor is good, The floor is wholesome.

So.... Yes or no ?

„sleep like tribe’s men” WRONG: Unlike indigenous tribes WE HAVE hardhood floors while indigenous tribes sleep on the ground in a hut so incomparable surfaces. For years I slept on the floor on a thick folded duvet akin to a traditional THIN futon and I never slept better. Sleep on a thick but firm futon now.

He days all the right things and tells you what it's wrong and what but never says how to fix it....

Your self portrait represents a strange self image.

Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️

Just give a yes or no answer please. Thank you sir.

I bought a large medical grade sheepskin to sleep on the floor. I sleep much better

5:07 Stuart Mcgill - Memory foam doesn't help skinnier people

Sleeping on floor is what prophet muhammad did, even with all his power n wealth. Floor sleeping means no giant bed taking space, no bed bugs, no bed costs, less noise during intercourse.

Great mustache

7:16 just like toxic people :)

Throw out your memory foam mattress, Worst beds ever and I am currently in massive pain, Expensive doesn't always mean the best. It's all marketing BS, They say it conforms to your body, In reality it just sags at your bodies heaviest point which for most people on the planet will be around their mid section(hips,waist,stomach,buttock). Won't matter if you sleep on your back it will sag at mid section and you end up with lower back pain, Sleep on your side and your hips will sink and you get hip pain. Best bed I ever slept on was 25+ years ago on a thin futon on wooden slats that wasn't expensive, Thin enough it couldn't sag but just soft enough to give enough support on your bones. It did take a few months to get used to massive change, But I then had that futon for over 10 years and wish I had of kept it, Only reason I got rid of it is because I thought oh well it's over 10 years old maybe it's time for a change, Went with normal mattress and struggled ever since.

Just for laughs: Q: You know whom I sleep with? A: There could be umpteen number of them, give me a clue I will point one of them.

You should spell his name correctly in the video title so that the KZfaq algorithm can recommend your video to those who are fans of Dr Stuart

WTF is a futon?

You talk too much old man

Can u become like Eddie hall with back pain
