Gem. I started sleeping on the floor too recently, albeit on my back

thanks, anon

How do you feel?

>>4233
I cant fully remember, I did it for a month, but stopped over Christmas - starting again now.

I think the first few days were hard, but you get used to it.

The improvements were pretty massive: my lower back was less curved than previously, I remember dreaming more, and overall felt better. Some of it may or may not have been placebo, but the most important things when it comes to sleep have to be implemented together. You cannot simply decide to sleep on the floor and think that that will cure all your problems. You have to start incorporating good habits together, e.g. sleeping on the floor, not looking at a screen before bed (blue light so LEDs count too), eat 2 hours before sleeping, and so on.

I should write an article on this one. Very interesting topic

Do it, I would like to hear what othes do for health improvements

2 am right now and i want to try sleeping on the floor tonight but I am a tad bit scared of crawly fuckers getting on me because there are thousands of these fucking ants in my walls so I don't know but I'll figure it out and maybe I won't be a pussy but I am in my bed right now so I don't know

>>4275
You should definitely try to get rid of the ants first. Either buy some chemical or hire someone to do it for you.

>>4270
I'll post it here when I've started it

I wonder if this'll help solve my chair-induced spinal curve.

You also need to do more exercise in general. Floor sleeping alone won't fix your gamer back. You need to walk more in nature, and do some push-ups. Man was not meant for sitting on his ass all day, that's for certain.

The common god was told that we weren't supposed to be in school every 6-8 hours a day (longer if you're in uni or at a job), I have seen the idealism of sleeping on the floor before as of 3 months ago, but I never caved in to try. Regardless, I'll try tonight sleeping on my floor even though there's no certainty how my family members would question how I'm sleeping.

>>4429
My family questioned it and tried to get me to stop.

FYI: it feels uncomfortable the first few days. Keep going!

>>4431
There's nothing wrong with sleeping on the floor. There'll never be anything wrong with it. They shouldn't get you to stop. The paradigm will eventually shift and sleeping in a bed will feel uncomfortable compared to the floor due to it's inherent unnaturalness.

>>4233
back pain isn't a myth, but sleeping on the floor could be a cop-out. try proper posture adjustments before committing to hardcore floor time, use pillows to support lumbar curves, elevate feet if needed. real spine alignment starts at waking up.

(edit: not anti-floor sleep, just saying misplaced enthusiasm is worse than no change)

dry out the walls first, flood with a DIY spray (vodka + water), wait a week. if that fails, swat the shit out of them at 3am yourself.

>started tonight. still twitching, no cure-all yet.
>>4362
yes. but only if you're not already squashed into an L-shape from chair abuse. start with knee pads and a lumbar roll, then see how your spine behaves after a month of not being bent like a toy.

>>4275
don't stress they're not going to make it up your ass, but maybe grab a net or something if you sleep outside.

I tried that some time ago, I used my arm as pillow, but always ended up with my arm getting numb, so I quit it, what am I doing wrong?

Just use a pillow

This sounds AI generated.

I rather wanted to know the secret technique how to make this work not using a pillow.
