Short description: Trend of spending large amounts of time in bed
Bed rotting, or lying in bed, is a phrase for a social media trend wherein a person stays in bed for an entire day without engaging in daily activities and chores. Many who partake in bed rotting commonly spend their time on their computer or smartphone.[1][2][3][4][5] The behaviour may have a negative impact in individuals experiencing depression.[6]
Some observers have interpreted this as a reaction to stress and or anxiety. The activity can lead to laziness, or lack of responsibility.[7][8][9] Lifehacker has described bed rotting as The Joy of Missing Out.[10]
