Current Events > Sleeping on the floor is better for you than sleeping in a bed.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The floor is nice and firm, and provides proper support for your spine. It adjusts your back and hips to how they should be.

A mattress doesn't provide the proper support, and you sink into an unnatural position. This causes back aches and improper posture.

tl;dr: Sleep in the floor. It's better for your body.

Uhh.. No. I grew up well off. But any dumbass should be able to understand basic human anatomy and spinal structure.

I occasionally sleep on the floor if my back aches, id imagine its because ive a cheap mattress though.

I been sleeping on the floor for 6 years, prolly because I am too lazy to buy a bed and still haven't felt like needing a bed.

Yeah a nice floor sleep every once in a while is nice. The harder ground pressure feels good to me. It's moreso the sorta thing that just happens.

Same. Sometimes I'll sleep on the floor next to my bed, just to get some good ol' soothing ground time.

Humans have slept on the ground and stiff surfaces for eons. Soft mattresses are a relatively new thing, but like most of how modern humans live, not very good for the body.

but what about all the bugs that crawl into your mouth when you sleep on the floor?

Yeah it's common still in Japan to sleep on futons on the ground for this reason

I slept on the floor a lot when I was growing up, simply because I liked it, but then I started getting back problems and that went away when I started sleeping in a bed.

Sometimes I sleep in a bed and sometimes I sleep on the couch and sometimes I sleep on the floor. Whatever gets me to sleep and causes the least pain at the time.

Not everything is absolute.

I read this article that said the same. The position was to sleep on your side and use your arms as a pillow.

I slept like that one night and I woke up feeling pretty damn good.
