Frrr 😂

Same here hahahhahaah

1:20am lmao

yeah

Yee you found some Good bs

no, beds are soft so it makes us soft, the floor is hard so it makes us hard, flexibility doesnt come in

No... if you compare a person and a bed, the bed is soft, therefore you are harder than the bed... if you compare a person to the floor, the floor is hard, therefore the person is soft... flexibility comes in when you sleep on a hard floor because you have to remove all tension within the body in order to get comfortable enough to sleep. Removal of that tension makes you more fluid and flexible. Try it yourself and find out. @@him-wg5pu

​@@him-wg5pu soft as in weak though. Your posture would be retained when you sleep on floor it helps to stretch your spine unlike mattress which has our body sink in and it doesn't provide support leading to backpain..

Awesome!!

Is there an alternative like a firm/thinner mattress? Because it would be hell if a centipede crawled in the ears/bugs.

Yes, great advice. Also, sleeping on a wooden floor, without a tatami, your heat and moisture can create discolouration on the floor. It's a good idea to roll up your bed each morning, or as often as you can, to let the floor breath. And, if you're using a traditional japanese mattress made out of pure cotton, you should also hang the mattress over your balcony railing(if you have a balcony) to ventilate as often as you can.

Great tips. How should a regular mattress, boxspring or even pillows be cleaned?

@@jackkovar7806 If youre using a boxspring mattress it isn't really "floor sleeping" is it? The whole point of floor sleeping is that your skeleton has a little bit of contact with the hard surface/the floor so that your muscles can relax. I don't know how to "clean" a boxspring mattress. I usualy just vacuum clean my mattress and air it outside when the weather is good. For smell you can sprinkle bakingpowder on the mattress, lett it sit and then vacuum it off. I use a buckwheat filled pillow. Buckwheat can be washed in the washing machine but obviously you need to keep them in double washing-bags with zippers. Otherwise you might destroy your washing machine.

yeap, these are all true, I find the floor cover's make it also easy to wash unlike a whole entire mattress.

​@@jackkovar7806I believe they have vacuums to shampoo those type of material items that are thick.

About to say the same thing bruh. Whenever I slept in a tent it just hit different in the morning. Never put two and two together until now.

this is so true

Nope

@@GinaGreenlee Agreed. And, I don't know anyone IRL that does floor sleeping. Everybody thinks I'm being eccentric.

Did it correct the back problem? And would this help with posture?

​@travismckinnon2494 it does. I switch it up every now and then. Your back adjusts very good and straightens out overtime when sleeping in floor for long

@@JustVibingFullStop Same here. That's why I'm thrilled to find this online community. Eccentric is dope, BTW. When I was 7 years old my dad told me, "to be successful in life, look at what everyone else is doing and do the opposite. Don't be a herd bird." I'm 62 years old. Dad was right. :o)

Are you still doing it?

@@indyskate111 I still do it, I went all the way and bought myself a futon And out my old mattress in the trash

This is true , I had been feeling back pain in mattress ..mind it I got memory foam mattress and that thing is over $1000. I started sleeping on a yoga mat and never looked back.Every morning I used to have little discomfort and that is gone now.

Still doing it?

Sounded normal until you’re last sentence you weirdo.

My cats love me on the ground. I went back to a bed when i moved and cats refused to jump up. Next day bed gone. LOL

I also sleep on the ground, I keep a bed for the ladies dx . I also started squatting when I'm exercising or eating. . Sometimes when I'm out of breath I just squat down because you won't always have a chair/ledge/seat to lay on. . It's very helpful and I just wanted to share this so others can find it. . I like skateboarding and another bit of info. . Rest is important, but stretches and consistent movement is equally as important. . Try to stay warm /warm up /get sunlight. . If something feels stiff or sore. . More movement is required. . Your body produces what I call "sore fluid" . It's what makes your body feel "sore" . There's 2 ways to fix that. 1 is a little bit of alcohol like a beer or 2. Wine is better cause of the antioxidants. . 2 is obviously water and nutrition. But a temporary fix is building up your heart rate. . That is to say. If u feel sore. Stick to your routine from the previous day but make sure you incorporate a type of cardio. Once you're "warmed up" the soreness goes away for an hour or two, since you're heart is reoxygenating your blood and removing the soreness fluid from your muscles. . I did a very intense leg day/week. I couldn't walk normally for a week but during my work outs after a bit it would go away so don't take being sore as an excuse to rest. Just try and meet your energy somewhere close to the previous day. . I'll also elaborate on the wine/beer thing. . The soreness fluid your muscles produce needs to get filtered out through your blood. The alcohol carries it away but wine is better cause of the antioxidants but it also doesn't dehydrate you the way beer does. . Obviously don't get super drunk but a good buzz helps cause just a cup won't be enough but it also forces your body to fight against the alcohol making you slightly slimmer cause it uses the hydration in your body and the organs to remove the "poison" . The alcohol also helps with digestion since it kills bacteria. . But like I said don't over do the drinking. Best before bed. . I follow a Friday Saturday drinking schedule. Sometimes Sunday. . The reason. It's so my body can handle drinking and partying in case I need too do it socially. Sunday-thursday I stay sober so I can build up strength/muscle. . Fasting once a week is also good for u. Intermittent fasting is helpful. . Just from my perspective I avoid breakfast. So I fast from the moment I sleep until noon.then I have my lunch, I then snack until my final feel sometimes I have a 2nd lunch and a dinner but generally I try to follow 2 meal plan with snacks. . Most importantly vitamins are important and so is a source of fat. Milk or something else that works for u cause it keeps your skin and hair fresh so u don't end up looking sucked out/malnourished. . It doesn't matter what u eat vitamins help fight of cravings/over eating

I forgot to mention. The reason I bring up drinking is cause I followed a sober lifestyle for a bit and was exercising regularly but I was starting to gain weight. . When I started to drink a bit to catch a buzz after following the sober route for awhile, I could feel a shift from my insides . It's like I turned the ignition key to my insides. . My body essentially wasn't "constantly fighting" when I was sober but when I drank, my body had an enemy to battle against in a way burning more calories and using the full force of my organs to process the poison. . Like I said don't over do it cause too much drinking, removes hydration and stops muscle growth. You just wanna push the fluid out and wine is the best option. Usually the bitter stuff cause the sugar dehydrates you more in the sweet stuff and doesn't help in muscle growth . That's just my opinion so do what's best for u. . I skateboard long distance daily and do daily stretches. It's what I found that helps. . But most importantly is getting enough water. For me I need a mix of wine and water*separately . I avoid soda or juice until sundown unless I crave it or feel I need it. Usually I go for juice but a soda sometimes hits the spot. . I have rules set for my self. Like always jog/run across intersections/ streets. Something I also need to say is a flash variant quote of Spiderman's mantra. . "With great speed, comes greater patience"

Another added bonus: eye-level with cockroaches and bugs. Love it!

I love it! Me and my siblings always did this as kids. If we were watching TV we were usually laying on the floor. And usually sleeping there all night And still at family gatherings we do this. And the youngest is 30 now

I started going barefoot after a running injury led me to a chiropractor which inadvertently led to sleeping on the ground which then led to my cutting out more daily support like shoes. Those minimalist shoes worked for a couple months until pain returned and I went fully barefoot. That was nearly 2 years ago and now I’m just that guy everyone knows doesn’t wear shoes. I keep the floor sleeping out of the abridged story I often tell, but it’s really the whole reason and the catalyst for my transition. My life has changed so wildly in 2 years. It’s almost like I didn’t question anything in life before.

Ive started barefoot shoes i wanna try floor sleeping next

What positions were you able to sleep in while on the floor

There’s a term for this called “grounding!”

I've been sleeping on a mat for many years. It's wonderful.

I've slept on the floor since high school!! never looked back. Used a futon for college but otherwise now just sleep on the carpet with a blanket.

I think it would be more healing in your case as you were basically touching the earth!

Yo, i'm deep into this "no shampoo" thing too! It turned out that I could've avoided buying shampoos all this time. I just rinse them with water and massage the hair roots. Without shampoos, the hair became better and stronger. Gotta turn to the Nature again 💚

In a year or two you’ll discover barefoot shoes

@@Alesti5 I have heard they’re not all that great and what really matters is having a shoe that properly spaces-out your toes, the lack of padding on the bottom supposedly doesn’t yield many worth-while benefits. But hey that’s just where my research has lead me.

The so called "natural elements of the earth" included things like dying early from childbirth, dental problems, etc. Natural doesn't mean "good" per se.

I've been wearing barefoot shoes for 4 years now and completely got rid of my need for orthotics, and my feet and ankles got way stronger and healthier. A barefoot shoe also reduces the chance of rolling your ankle because you have more ground feel and can make micro adjustments faster as you step. I never wear normal shoes anymore 👟​@@etchieSketchie

I also did that, I didn’t have any pain before I just wanted to try a different way to sleep. And as I was looking deeper into Japanese culture, I wanted to tried it so badly! And now I sleep around 4 years on futon and I still love it. And no matter what other thinks of you mate. You‘re not the only one. Cheers 🎉

Luckily for me I could care less what other people think

@@andrewtol8756 Good tip,

Wow any idiot can say things on the internet

Thank you for sharing

I'm going to get rid of my bed and sleep on the floor. After doing a lot of research, I've decided to just sleep in a sleeping bag instead of dealing with a floor mattress or futon and tatami mats and all of that kind of stuff that seems to come with very frequent cleaning schedules and cleaning difficulties. Anyway, the only thing I wonder about ahead of time is "Do I need to get two sleeping bags, a regular one for winter time and then try to find a thin or wimpy one for the hotter months?" because it seems a sleeping bag will be too hot in the summer for sleeping. I live in Missouri where it can get pretty humid at times.

The Japanese style mattress is also thick enough to feel comfortable. He’s basically talking about having even less padding like a rug for better health. But at least the Japanese floor mattress is a good start.

Bro everytime i tried to sleep in a bed , i just sleep walking and sleep on the floor lmao, i woke up and i was on the floor with my pillow setup like wtf

Regarding your neck and back pain from sleeping on a bed... It's simply because you're laying down in a weird position. What you need, is to have your spine straight while you lay down. Common things that cause these problems are a too soft bed, or a too high or too low pillow. I've worked with this kind of things to design beds, with chiropractors. It's really just that people are often too cheap when it comes to a bed. Something most people spend 1/3 of their life on. Have someone check your back when you lay down on the side, stomach or back (have someone put a hand under to see if it's possible or not to get under easily), it really helps a lot. Usually, most sales people who sells bed in stores etc. knows these kinds of tricks and will help you. Get something with good quality that will last.

@@kungjocke9446riddle me this, why would any living species evolve to need a pillow to sleep properly? I’ve come to the conviction that pillows are actually bad for neck pain and posture

Hey not sure if u still see this but are u still sleeping on the ground? And if so what do u have under you?

ask yourself why do you keep going back to your bed

Exactly my problem. scrunched all night yes, leads to, loose joints in the Neck and back pains in the morning , two things will fix them instantly 2 minutes just after waking up. 1. pelvic raise or pelvic tilt but just hold it in up position. No need to do reps and sets to fix the back joints 2. Face away from the wall but stand close to the wall press a light pillow on the wall with the back of the head engaging your back of the next muscle and hold. This will tighten the neck joints
