Bed rotting

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. Participants commonly spend their time on their computer or phone.[1][2][3][4][5] The behaviour may have negative impact in individuals experiencing depression.[6]

Some observers have interpreted this as a reaction to stress and or anxiety. Participants may also be evading responsibility.[7][8][9] Lifehacker has described it as an aspect of Joy of Missing Out.[10]
