While it was a nightmare for most at first, three years after the initial wave, people are finding it difficult to leave their nests.

Bed Rot: A Self-Care Trend For Lazy Gen-Zers
pexel
The warmth and comfort of your home have become both a cure and a curse for Gen-Zers as a new personal care trend gains momentum within the generation.
Young people now prefer to stay at home and become one with their beds, “rotting in bed” as the children say.
While most millennials try to take care of their bodies and minds by engaging in productive self-care activities like hitting the gym or walking in nature, Gen-Zers seem to have given up on these healthy alternatives and are recovering in bed.
The trick is as simple as it seems. Bed rot is all about spending time in bed. While some people opt to Netflix and kick back with stocked snacks and energy drinks, others take the “clean girl aesthetic” route with skincare and crystals. You’re right in the corner as long as you’re curled up in bed.

People on the internet have claimed that the trick has helped them regain their mental and physical health, especially when they are recovering from a cold, a hectic week or a bad hangover.
Although the method sounds like a simple way to beat tardiness, “bed rot” fans say the trick comes with its own set of rules. If you’re trying to indulge in the trend, then Gen Zers recommend bedtime be intentional and guilt-free. They also instruct newbies to enjoy the method without feeling any pressure or worrying about work the next day. It has to be genuinely regenerative to be a successful recovery method.
Some #bedrot promoters even claim that it’s their “hobby” and “passion” to simply spend their days in bed, curled up in duvets. However, while the trend has its supporters, there are others who are dead set against it. This pushback comes mostly from older generations who are baffled by Gen Z ways, hardly ever caring about how other people will perceive their rot-in-bed decisions.
