- Are there amazing benefits to sleeping on the floor? That's what I wanted to find out so I decided to sleep on the floor for 7 nights. I discovered some things I was not expecting! Did I fall asleep faster? Slower? Did I sleep better? Did I actually grow taller? or did I shrink?
I used to have a stiff neck every day, but since I started to sleep without a pillow, my neck is perfect, no stiffness and the range of motion has increased a lot. you should try it
God loves us all so much that he gave his perfect son to die for our sins and raised him from the grave to defeat death. Through faith in JESUS we can be saved and reconciled to GOD. please repent🙏♥️

Average time spent "in bed" (actual bed): 8.25 hrs
Average time spent "sleeping" (actual bed): 7.34 hrs
Average time spent "in bed" (floor): 7.69 hrs
Average time spent "sleeping" (floor): 6.87 hrs
-> You spent more time in an actual bed, therefore totals look better.
% of time "in bed" spent "sleeping" (actual bed): 88.9%
% of time "in bed" spent "sleeping" (floor): 89.4%
-> You slept more efficient on the floor
% of time "in bed" spent "deep sleeping" (actual bed): 20.7%

Amazing!! Now we need a one month sleeping on the floor experiment.
YES!
we need one week sleeping with pillow
I've been doing it for a year, it's actually amazing lmao
Totally, But we gotta Focus
@@narwhakun Yeah, I would think you benefit from it long-term. I tried it for a week but it felt horrible. Maybe one should start sleeping on like a yoga mat to make it a lil' bit easier.
Homeless people: First time?
Lmao.....Ayoo😂😂😂
The problem have is. theres a ton of BUGS that people are unaware of from spiders, roaches, ear wigs, that crawls and slithers their way into your brain ears... and nose and leg crevice era.. Id love to sleep on the floor but man.. my bug traps catch a lot of different bugs.

@@koilamaoh4238using a mosquito net is a option right?
You should do a video covering all the life hacks that actually had great results. All these experiments...I need a master list! Great stuff, keep it coming.
The amount of people who have started doing this are magnificently plenty and I'm glad to hear you guys strive to get closer to traditional forms of lifestyle like Japanese people do
Been living in Japan for a while and I tell you, most futons are as soft if not softer than normal beds so even if they sleep on the floor they're not sleeping on hard surfaces.
everything is not japanese mate ...call it the poor way
I love the idea of living a more natural lifestyle. I find nature to be very beautiful. Praise God for that. I feel nature is overall just more comfortable than city environments. Ultimately, though, I look to God for strength, and God is my peace and joy. Psalm 18:1 ESV
I love you, O LORD, my strength.

Japan bla bla bla bla
Bro hasn’t even been to Japan once
Sleep on japanese futon. I started this a couple weeks ago and never felt better. The second week was awesome. The first couple days were a bit ackward, but i only had one day with lower back pain since I started this regimen. Usually I would get 5 days out 7 with lower back pain. Stick to it for at least 30 days on a japanese futon and I'm sure you'll live it. Pitch dark and cold room helps with sleeping 😴
I was thinking this might be optimal after watching the video too. Its kind of funny, i always thought futons were silly, but maybe theyre the ideal sleeping item
Real, last night i could not sleep on my matress i was too hot and i felt like i was suffocating so i put down my blanket draped a sheet over it then plopped my pillow down and slept like a baby for like a few hours before waking up cuz i was kinda chilly so i went back to my bed. But i was so comfortable those few hours it did start to hurt a bit cuz i struggle with moving jn my sleep hence also why i went back to my bed
@@litchtheshinigami8936 First night is the hardest.
Japanese futons are the best. Now when I sleep in a hotel my sleep is so much worse and I hate it. Soft beds are my nemesis.
Yes futons are awesome
I think you got better breathing when you sleep on the floor, it's because you sleep on your back, it is much easier to breathe when u sleep facing up rather than facing down
Your spine gets aligned properly and you can use your diaphragm better when you breathe
will you stop talking already
@@ameenhcr2792 get out of here
@@georgegeorgiou1511sleeping on the bag isn't better way to sleep. Not just that but for some people it's dangerous to point where they stop breathing during sleep. Snoring happens on back not on stomach. There has been a lot research done on it. The most natural way to sleep is on side. 2nd is on stomach. Back is the worst in all metrics. Whole spine alignment thing is somewhat a bullshit. This is from research that analysed literal thousands of sleepers across various cultures sleeping in various environments. Now that said every person is different. Some people may find sleeping on back fine for them. But if trying to give general advice - sleeping on back is terrible for some even dangerous. Best advice is to try to sleep on side or stomach. Only considered sleeping on back if you know that you don't have breathing issues or snoring issues.
@@sk-sm9sh can you reference the scientific studies please ?
Even animals will find a soft place to bed down such as tall grass. Bird and mice make nest. There are no perfectly flat surfaces in nature. Keep a barrier between you and the ground is crucial to keep your body warm.
Yeah, even sleeping on the bare earth isn't rock hard like a floor. A carpet isn't going to give much cushion. A good way to marry both is getting a couple of those mats used for tumbling or those interlocking tiles put in children's playrooms. Something that will give a little under joints but not bend under bodyweight.
The bare earth has to be "rock hard" because it literally IS rock . What do you think rocks are, they come from the earth. Dirt and sand are both tiny pieces of rock and when compact they are as hard as a solid rock, the bare earth is a giant rock by definition. The bare earth gets very hard, I slept outside countless nights in the Army.
@@kscod6108
Have you ever tried sleeping on the floor consistently?
@@moonvenusluna not you lol
@kscod6108, I was thinking the same thing. I've slept on the ground with only a summer sleeping bag and it's much softer than a carpeted wood floor. I've never tried to sleep on the caliche outside my current house. I imagine that might feel closer to a floor though.
I used to sleep on the floor cause if work 2 years ago, and tbh those were the best sleeping I had ever slept, these days my bed is comfortable but I don’t sleep the same way I used to

20 year hardwood floor sleeper here. The trick is a pillow between the legs on the side, and a pillow near the stomach to drape your arm over. (If you side sleep.) For stomach sleeping, a very flat wool blanket under the head. That's all. Sleeping on the back, a big pillow under the knees to allow the spine to rest flat on the floor. No pillow, and hand tucked in the elastic on your shorts near your lower stomach. Best sleep of your entire life.
when side sleeping do you also need a pillow for your head? So you need 3 pillows for sleeping on the side? Thanks
@@adislist4493 yes
@@ZacchaeusNifong Can you explain the hands tucked in to your pants for the back sleeping? Are you internally rotating your hands (palms facing thighs) or externally rotating (palms facing up/out)
Also, do you aim for a specific position for each night? How do you prevent yourself from unconsciously tossing and turning while sleeping. If I start on my back with a pillow under my knees but then shift to side sleeping, I won't have the three pillows in the proper positions and will wake up achy, right? How do I stop that?
Male and female?
yes @@lunaflamed
For the neck issues, try different types of pillows to see if they help. Also, yes, try sleeping on your left side as it tends to help with digestion.
Sleep on your back, or get an unattractive assymetrical face.
Right °
@@Grassfedshorts Unless you had bariatric surgery or some other digestive condition, the left side is normally the best one, but he should experiment with that himself to determine which side helps with indigestion and prevents acid reflux. For me, it's the left side, and that's what is also advised in yoga and general medical articles, and it's also the advice given to pregnant women.
@letsdomath1750 yeah my sister taught me this when she was a dental assistant. The left side helps with the stomach, and your right side can help with breathing.
@@letsdomath1750 Someone told me the left side is better for your mind or something lol
I do that from time to time. Once you get used to it, and add a little padding- like a yoga mat, its really good.
This channel is really one of the most consistant watches for me. Just have to say thank you for making such cool, interesting and enjoyable content.
yea a little padding goes a long way, i use a mattress and that works best
Ozark Thermarest corrugated folding foam sleep pad equivalent is the way to go.
I sleep on the floor because i'm depressed 😭and for some reasons i can't just move back to my room, so i just lay my blanket on the floor and sleep, but there was many bad things happening because of that, but i still didn't stoped from sleeping on the floor.
Article that might be worth a google for anyone looking to try this: "Instinctive sleeping and resting postures: an anthropological and zoological approach to treatment of low back and joint pain."
This study was referenced by WIL in a video on sleep, I think you would like it, and his channel! th-cam.com/video/O8UoAASCUsQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=o85eqK-DrCdS1oJQ
Been sleeping on the floor for 2 years now and it's been amazing. Best decision I've ever made
any general tips (side sleeper)
Me too. Won't ever go back.
@@Eysc I think the trick is always being at an angle that is between side and back sleeping so that you're never laying directly on your shoulder. I'm a side sleeper myself and it took a couple days to a week to start doing instinctually. You want to be at the point where you're doing it while asleep. You should also use a pillow for your head if you'll be mainly on your side. Otherwise, you'll destroy your neck.
I believe the majority of the benefits of floor sleeping come from back sleeping. Although, we're never in one position all night so I wouldn't worry about that.
Same, 1 year now, I love it
about a year and a half and honestly if I want a comfy weekend sleep I go on the bed. During the work week I sleep on the floor, I wake up way more refreshed and energetic then on the beds. I can barely get out from bed.
Floor sleeping is superior to beds and even hammock sleeping. I sleep on the side with my head on the floor and one arm in front of me and one arm under my neck.
I tried floor only, tatamis mats, yoga mats, beddings etc and the best is yoga mat plus one blanket and NO pillow.
For the idea of sleeping cooler, look into bamboo sheets. My spouse needs to be cool to sleep while still needing a blanket for the weight, so I bought some bamboo sheets some time ago because they are supposed to be "cooling". My spouse has loved them. If you try any other cooling products I will be interested in seeing the results.
If my back or neck feels uncomfortable I will oftentimes lay in bed on my back, without a pillow, and fall asleep that way. I am a side sleeper by heart and at some point in my sleep I will re-reach for my pillow so I can comfortably sleep on my side. Despite this, however long I ended up sleeping on my back with no pillow, I always feel better in those zones the next day. Something worth trying.
In Thailand, their furniture is very hard, like a carpeted ground. My back hurt for about 2 weeks going through it. Then it was like my back and body developed a super power. Felt stronger than I ever had. It was awesome! Can’t find a firm enough mattress in America!
You have to look at the local ones especially Asian places if you haven’t. My parents found several over the years. They are there but rare.
I started sleeping on the floor 2 years ago. It was hard to get up to run to the bathroom in the night, but after a few nights, I was popping off the floor like a champ. Great for mobility and almost no back/neck issues in the morning.☀️
I actually used to struggle with intense hip pain in my right hip. It got to the point where i would cramp up while driving, and it made things difficult. I did stretching, but it did not help. So, one year ago, i got rid of my bed and started sleeping on the floor. It was hard for the first week, but i find it very comfortable now. I used a blanket for about 9 months (a super thin one), then used a thin yoga matt for 2 months (it was easier to store), and just recently, this month i started using a hard gymnasium matt, its not much better then the floor. But it helps keep the cold off of me. I definitely dont regret it, im happy i started doing this, and im glad to see a video talking about it!
Yeah, I had hip pain before sleeping on the floor too. No issues now 2 years later❤
I've been sleeping on the floor for the past 6.5 months, and it's changed my life!! I used to wake up super groggy and I would be tired throughout the day, but when I started sleeping on the floor, I would wake up alert and awake. I was able to just get up, and not spend time trying to pull myself out of bed.
My mattress might just be bad, but I've loved sleeping on the floor. I want to get a Japanese futon.
Pigmie should do 1 week living normally like others. Tell the experience of it
6:55 confirmed math youtube watcher!
can you elaborate on the -1/12?
@@artificium_ It's called Ramanujan Summation, you can find the demonstration online. But I think it's not the type of sum we are used to, it's just a useful technique used when you are summing infinite numbers.
I slept on the floor for about 7 months the first month it felt impossible i couldn't stay asleep.
My back hurt worse then it ever had before. An old injury came back in my lower back. This was a cronic injury that i had for 7 years but after continuing to sleep on the floor i started to feel stronger in the problem areas. My back injury completely stopped and working out i had next to no joint pain. To me if i was really sore it became a form of rolling massage. It was just enough pressure that many tough spots on my body worked themselves out. Its definitely worth trying for a month to a year. I switch between the floor and mattress now depending on my soreness. But now i can get good sleep anywhere
Yup, it take some about 3 weeks to get completely used to it and then it's great. I sleep on a carpet with sheets down. I'll get a Japanese bamboo mat at some point
Same for me. 4 months on the floor because of fucked up disc which also caused sciatica. Those nights were spent in hell for me. That was that tough. Then I got better but it took 4 fucking painful months. Every now and then I let my body hit the floor xD it is good
Have you ever tried a grounding mat ? Or bedsheet ? I highly recommend
@@atonewithnature_ yep I know them. I just support that empty side where our lower back curve is at and sleep on my back like Dracula
How do you know that perhaps your body wasn't just needing time to heal and if you had continued to sleep in a bed for those 7 weeks, you'd have the same result? (Not bring snarky, genuinely asking)
We bought the 8 sleep mattress cover to make our bed cold. Total game changer for sleep!!!! I tried sleeping on floor and couldn't move the next day. U R a brave man! Love the videos!
First night is always the hardest.
Hey man, love your content and I get that it’s mostly just content, but I wish you would do some of these challenges for more than 7 days and plan them ahead of time so that you’re not doing an unsustainable & potentially physically harmful version of the challenges. A lot of the time, one week isn’t long enough to see if there is any benefit or drawback and a lot of the time your challenge is one that either will obviously physically hurt you and then you adjust or don’t stick to the challenge for the whole week. Just my two cents since I like your content and don’t want you to get hurt AND have an interest in seeing how some of these challenge actually would impact me.
Commented this like 2 years ago and everyone told me “its for entertainment” …. Feels like a waste of time
Floor sleeper here, a benefit I enjoy is how I wake up ready to go. The urge to sleep in is much less. There's also something about getting up from the floor that inspires confidence and strength first thing in the morning. I actually tried going back to a bed recently and moved it back out of my room in less than a week. I love sleeping on the floor.
I have been sleeping on the floor for 30 years. I use a hard foam pillow. Sometimes throughout the years I've slept on a bed for a few days, due to staying at someone's house and they have specially made up a bed, or hotels where they is not much room. When I get back to the floor, it is bliss. The pressure points do get annoying if you go-to bed before you are tired or try and stay in bed when awake, but they don't hurt like when I started. In the last 5 yrats I've started to use a skinny memory foam topper, just to ease the pressure points, as I am now on a hard floor rather than carpeting. Japanese have been sleeping on tatami mats, mattresses are a fairly modern thing.
I can highly recommend it, but it does take about a month to get over yhe pressure point soreness. I had lower back pain at a young age, that goes away when on the floor, comes back on a mattress.
Funny you came out with this. I also just started sleeping on the floor a little over a week ago. For anybody interested here is my experience with it:
In the beginning I would be sore yet oddly refreshed in the morning. After a few days I grew accustomed to the rigidity of the floor and started to feel more comfortable. Much like Lucas I noticed I'd get tired later in the day in spite of feeling rather refreshed and energized in the morning, so I added a 15min afternoon power nap to my daily routine which has done wonders in combination with floor sleeping. As of today, my back pain that I used to have is almost entirely gone. A huge improvement to what was.
I sleep with a pillow on the floor (hard wood) on top of a thicker yoga mat and a very thin comforter blanket. I still use my soft bed for power naps.
Honestly, I'd recommend anyone interested to try it for a week. I personally will continue to sleep on the floor until I find reason not to. I've found irreplaceable benefits from it.
That's the question I should have asked those who don't understand why I don't sleep on the bed when I go to their house: find me a good reason not to sleep on the parquet!
everytime i come across a new self improvement/ gym technique pigme immediately drops a vid on it
Get a floor mattress like they use in Korea/ Japan etc. My back has never felt better.
where did u get yours?
Yes I'd like to know to
can you name it?
Lol that defeats the whole purpose of sleeping on the floor. Then you're just sleeping on a bed that isn't as elevated. How close you are to the floor doesn't make any difference, it's how hard and flat the surface is. Come on 🤷♂️
@@McCarthy1776 ummm, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about
0:03 - If I'm being honest pigmie if you would get in trouble with your wife you could have been sleeping outside for a week instead of on the floor, cs4u
Nahhh☠️
what is cs 4u
I don’t have a bed, and I have been sleeping on the floor for a long time now, much more comfortable for me
Yeah, I slept on a hard couch for a few years, then a friend felt sorry for me and from fake pity bought me a bed, and I felt like I had to accept his "gift."
That bed destroyed my back, then after a few months I threw out the soft bed and started sleeping on the floor.
That was 3 years ago. My back has been indestructible since.
I don't have a bed too and people always tease me after I tell them.
@@Michael-Archonaeuswhat do you mean your back is indestructible? You got a stronger back? Better posture?
@@Lazymath007_ Yes.
Also I can work like crazy, and do the most ridiculous lifts.
Liars get a nice bed and you will never say this again
i never understand how people naps for 30 minutes, hour or so. Once I nap, I SLEEP. DEEP sleep for like 8 hours even if i set my alarm to wake up
Probably because you’re over working yourself. People that have sleep debt tend to be able to do that. Maybe try not working so much. And value your sleep more.
Believe it or not. It’s not healthy to not get enough sleep. Sometimes people die because of lack of sleep. So maybe value your health more.
@@bloodiamondeyes thanks, needed this information
Same here i regulary take 2-3 deep naps
@@bloodiamondeyes Not all people are the same. I can sleep for 8hrs a night for a week but still if I went to take a nap, I have no idea if i'd wake up in 30min or 6hrs. I'll turn off or sleep through alarms no matter how much sleep and I won't remember doing it either. Can also have somewhat normal conversations with people and they think I'm awake...then they're shocked later when I'm still asleep and don't remember talking to them.
This happens a lot with people with ADHD and I've seen it referred to the "sleep of the dead". We just don't have internal clocks it seems. Probably the reason I'm confused when people talk about having jetlag and why my brain just can't comprehend the difference between sleeping when it's dark or sunny, although it's of course slightly harder to fall asleep in broad daylight if I'm not super tired.
I think the floor feels "lesser" because we don't make things to look nice on the floor. The room is tall and the floor is... low, so you have all this extra empty space, and it doesn't fell correct. Look at traditional homes or even modern homes in east asia where the floor is a place to dine, relax and enjoy your sleep.
Gotta remember to FOCUS 🫡
You need at least 8 days if you are not acustomed, also putting a pillos under your knees works really well depending on the curvature of your spine (lordosis). I‘ve been sleeping on some floor format for at least 12 years (futons, rugs, sheepskin)… a little bit of cushooning goes a long way.
Yeah, pillows under knees for sure!
I've been sleeping on the floor for 8years because of my back bulge disc.
It's not easy to get used to. Recently, I have cut a plywood (mdf) and leave on top of my mattress, so I don't get cold from the floor anymore.
The most benefit is I don't need pain medicine to sleep or for my back anymore.
I’ve been a subscriber for a long time now but I wasn’t expecting this video to come up not long after I started sleeping on the floor.
We vacationed in Thailand a few months ago and all beds their had only a 3 to 4 inch pad over a hard box, basically. Hard surface sleeping is very common in asian countries.
3 hours 8k views already damn
Dude look how it feels sleeping in the ground naturally,really appreciate the vids effort
Love. It man
just found your channel randomly on youtube im 20 i learned so many things you've earned a sub man im inspired to just try it all now. if not now then when
Honestly, futon on floor is peak. You get the firmness of the floor but without it being rock hard. Like a nice Japanese style futon. Had to use one when I was living in a room in a community living center. So I could have the space for day while being able to sleep at night. You could just fold it up and stash it in a corner during the day. Then when it was bed time you would just unfold it, throw some bedding on it, and you're good to go.
I honestly kind of miss it now that I have an actual bed room with a cali king.
From time to time I sleep on my stomach with my arms above my pillow, this allows my body to relax and my joints to not have a lot of tension. How ever if you are more bones or muscly, you will have areas that hurt. People with a bit more fattiness, like me 115lbs, sleep easier. Sleeping on the floor for a few hours also in a way restarts your brain and body. If you can’t sleep in your bed, go to the floor for a few hours and once you go back to your bed you will fall asleep. This also helps if you have adhd like me. It allows our brains to slow down and calm itself being in the same environment but different positions. It allows our brain to be quiet and take in this different experience. I have recommended this to friends, and or family members and it does work for them. Their ages from 20-35.
It makes me dream. I'm also a programmer, and have been for 40 years. I don't quite see how I could be so efficient with a mouse, a keyboard and three screens, while on the ground.
I sleep on the floor every night and do hard physical labor all day long. I'm fine and I have a better head on my shoulders because of it. Sleeping on the floor builds character and makes you grateful for a lot more in life. I definitely have a lot less stress because of it. Oh and I have the choice to sleep on a bed but I actually prefer the floor.
Try it for a week and you'll see.
I love my linen sheets. They are so cool and comfortable against the skin. If you're new to linen sheets don't freak out when you first get them. They are stiff and scratchy at first, but they get softer with every wash.
Every single animal naps. So should we.
Dumb logic. Animals are naked all the time - so should we? Dogs eat their poo out of boredom - so should we?...
Animals are not "naked": the have insulation / protection that changes with the season. Also, what's the point of your dog example? That when we are bored we do stupid things? Duh.
@@robeh9242dogs don't eat poo out of boredom, they eat it because there is protein in it
@@robeh9242 more like sleep is a need that we share with animals

Wool carpet and a bedsheet on top is perfect. You need a little bit of hold where the body doesn't slide and plain fabric surface (even glued) is not enough).
I love that you do these study experiments on yourself for our entertainment.😅😂
Through some trial and error, a lot of camping and sleeping on hotel, air bnbs and friends houses I think I've found what works for me. Surfaces that are too soft or too hard help me for relief or decompression respectively but I limit their usage because long term, they worsen the problem. A surface that is in the middle (not to hard or soft) usually works for long term usage. Another important factor is the pillow. For power naps a fairly "high" pillow suits me fine but for the night a smaller or sometimes no pillow works perfectly
0:13 they don't know me son
My son has slept on the floor on a yoga mat for years. Seems horribly uncomfortable to me, but he finds beds too soft. Maybe, since you did well on the hard floor, a yoga mat would be enough padding for you. And on the subject of pillows, standard pillows hurt my neck, but for 20 years I have used a small loose pillow made with buckwheat husks. I can arrange it so I just have a small pad under my neck and nothing under my head. It has made all the difference.
Very interesting video.
10:14 imagine him doing push ups in the middle of the night while being asleep something similar like sleep walking 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 that's hilarious
In high school I used to take a 15-20 minute nap during free periods between classes and I found that I would enter this timeless state where my body and mind were at peace. I’d come back to full consciousness feeling a boost. I still achieve this state today, although I need the boost less due to better life routines.
Edit: also, I’ve been sleeping on the floor with a few blankets for padding for about 2.5 years
when I lived in Ft Lauderdale a hurricane left us without power for 5 days. I slept on the tile floor just for the cool as it was blazing hot out. The trick cooled me as planned, but it was so uncomfortable. A lot of science goes into beds. I think I'll stick with my mattress! Great video Lucas =)
It would be interesting to see those results compared to sleeping on a bed, ALONE! I bet it would be THE BEST!
Do an experiment where you try to make your face look more defined: getting rid of chubby cheeks, mewing, etc.
That would be interesting
He already did this
Your "rough night sleep" would be amazing for me. If you think that's a rough night of sleep.. you've got it so good.
You should do sleep on grass next with tent of course. Imagine how relax will it be.
Lol it's not particularly relaxing. Everyone always talks about how peaceful and relaxing nature is until you go out and live in nature.
I remember the long nights in the Army sleeping on a hard floor outside with or without a tent, usually rocks under me somewhere stabbing me in the back, and there's no AC so you just sweat like crazy. If you're in a tent the sweat pools up, then when 3am hits suddenly it's cold and now you're laying in a puddle of sweat shivering, and the bugs love the sweat and constantly attack you throughout the night, gnats and mosquitos all around your face, then spiders and shit crawling on you. Lay in the wrong spot and you get poison ivy which happened quite frequently. Then the chiggers always crawl in your skin, your shins get covered in chiggers and ant bites. It's even worse when it's cold. You're sleeping bundled up in the sleeping bag with just underwear on, Then you gotta pee and you get up and walk through a bunch of rocks and shit cutting up your feet in the dark while you're shivering like mad.
Relaxing is the last word I'd use 😂
When I first started sleeping on the floor, I slept on a tatami mat and a sheet a couple of days later I added a blanket to that. Because I am very thin without the blanket it was too uncomfortable. I persevered and it took about 2 to 3 weeks before I was completely comfortable on the floor. Before sleeping on the floor I used to wake up with numbness in my arms or fingers I used to have leg cramps that woke me up during the night. It has now been 4 to 5 months since I started sleeping on the floor and I find it much more comfortable than in a bed. My sleep is better right now. I have no leg cramps and altogether I am very happy that I started to sleep on the floor.
I slept on the floor for 5 years. I used a very thin pillow on practically concrete (stone tile floors or something), I did that because I was on a bunk bed with my brother and because he was annoying I just slept on the floor in the hall way (I haven’t in 2 years now and now have my own room), I went to the hospital for like them few years check up when you’re younger (I was around 12-13) and the doctor said my spine is abnormally straight (now it probably isn’t from now using a normal pillow and not having a good posture all the time because I’m lazy. I’d say the first month you’d wake up hurting but after it seems almost better than a bed.
Straight spine is a BAD thing. You're supposed to have curves in your spine from top to bottom. You're literally killing your back.
@@d3vi0uz1 I never said it was good or bad. Now my spine is normal because I switched to a good bed and pillow. But I would think bad posture is worse than a straight spine. But the straight spine made it so I could look up easier which for me is an advantage for dirt biking which I do almost every weekend and sometimes during the week. Now because my spine is normal it makes it a little bit harder to look up because I’m normally standing up leaning forward a lot so now it takes more effort. I never had back pain and could still ‘touch my toes’. But yes, it’s technically bad for you even if it doesn’t hurt. Sleeping on the floor for a long time is technically bad but in some foreign countries they do it for life. (Doesn’t validate it.) :)
Doing this for 7 days isnt enough for body to get used to, wish you did this floor sleeping with futon bed and longer than 7 days.
I have been sleeping on the floor for more than 3 years now. My back went through a lot prior to that, had back pain which made it nearly impossible to breath. Now pain free! Intially sleeping on the floor was soo uncomfortable even with cushioning, would be waking up to painful hip bones. Took a few weeks for my body to adjust. Then I bought futon bed, omd best sleep ever, totally recommended it to anyone deciding to sleep on floor. Slept on soft bed after few months, my back was hurting for good few hours. Since sleeping on floor for years and my back problems gone, can sleep anywhere, soft bed, hard floor, tiled floor or even camping grounds. I would still chose sleeping on floor over an actual soft bed.
Eight sleep mattress cover is very good
Picked up this sleeping hack during my time in the military. Spending extensive periods in the forest usually meant crashing on nothing more than a simple sleeping mat. Honestly, some of the best sleep I’ve ever had, similar to how our ancestors must have slept. Even back at the barracks, the beds were old and hard. These days I’m not sleeping on the floor, but I swear by a firm mattress as I find it provides the most restful sleep for me.
Only doing it for a week isn’t going to give you hardly any good results. You need to commit and do it for at least 1 month.
Longer, like a year. No neck support or back support is going to show up overtime
Always sleep on the floor for my naps when need !! But around naturally 20 minutes long. Feel great with naps
0:32 sleeping on the foor for a week
I peeped that too😭😭
I take naps every now and then. And yes, you feel worse immediately after you wake up, but after a drink, walk around, and a quick stretch I actually feel quite refreshed.
Bro you look like the deep at 0:49 as you look into the camera holy
I slept for almost a year on the floor and there is an adjustment period, but I can say after the adjustment period, its perfectly fine, I slept on my back on the floor but when I sleep in bed or even the couch it's always on my side. I still sleep occasionally on the floor and it doesn't bug me, also power naps for like 20 to 40 minutes makes a big difference, anything over 40 minutes it effects my normal sleep.
Edit: I also don't think a week isn't enough time to completely adjust to sleeping on the floor, but I can also say after a couple weeks I slept very good, and rarely had a bad night, once I moved to a new home, and started sleeping in my bed again, I did sleep okay the first night, but I felt groggy and tired, and my back wasn't liking it, of course over time got use to it again, but I can sleep on the floor without a problem
So according to the thumbnail... sleeping on the floor gives you a fake tan, makes you flex, and shaves your skin (face and chest) 🤔
Been sleeping on a futon in a bed with a full wooden base for a few years now, age 68; the height of the bed makes getting in and out easier; sleep has improved quite a bit; linen bedsheets are a subtle game changer also. I've raised the last 50 cm of the bed plank some 5cm to avoid neck problems. Indian style beds work as well: just some metal tubing with bands / straps that make up the bed base; a thin futon on top and sleeps good after 2 or 3 days.
I would love to see you take a NMN supplement for 30 days and see the results
Bro my algorithm forgot about you I haven't seen you in YEARS, but it for sure remembers to show me some climbing related shit once in a while still.
Video recommendation: Taking BPC-157 for 1 month
I sleep on the floor occasionally because it is incredibly effective for my restless leg syndrome(rls). I've tried tons of things from shock therapy to a multitude of sleep drugs and nothing works they only aggravate it, but if I lay flat on my stomach on a firm surface like a padded carpet I can almost always pass out in minutes compared to tossing and turning for hours in my bed. I thought it was nonsense, but I've repeated this for myself countless times over the past several years and it really works for me.
Try semen retention for 30 days
Every day I pull the sheets off my bed (except bottom sheet) and re-make it entirely. I find it helps my sense of order and serenity to see my bedroom looking so neat.
07:09 your girl might be cheating
All because she found the math joke lame? Bro that's some next level reaching
@@spacecookiez5045 nah you dont get it
Cell phone addiction, not necessarily cheating. Most women in 2024 are phone addicts
Man respect u doing it fr fr
yeah. i sleep 4 months after Mike Chang vid. THats best sleep of my 23 years life. deep sleep skyrocketed from 50-100 mins to 2.5-3 hours 💪💪💪💪💪💪
I've been on the floor since 2017. My advice is to get comfortable. If the ground's too hard, get a bit more padding. If your neck feels weird, get a bit more pillow. I think forcing your body to adjust to pressure or posture is a mistake.
Bedjet changed my life, it's been super reliable, basically just a fan/heater for under your covers but my god it's fantastic, takes a couple nights to find your perfect setting but once your locked in you'll sleep through the night every night
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

Thanks for confirming that mattresses are engineered to enhance sleep. Thumbs up.
Super helpful, I was considering selling my bed and sleeping on the floor to become a more masculine man- but after watching this I realize a bed is absolutely necessary
My problem with this, especially on my back, is that my glutes would prevent my spine from being "perfectly aligned" which would lead to an uncomfortable sleep or the inability to sleep and pain, ache, or a sore back the next day.
Been sleeping on the floor for years. best for spine and in general health.
💯💯💯
Not sponsored, wish though. Healthyline infrared mat at the temperature suggested for your levels. Then floor. Rest and repeat. Would be neat to see if you have a benefit.

this is a really cost effective way to improve how good your bed feels to sleep in, by sleeping on the floor for a couple of days you will appreciate the soft warm bed again.
i have scoliosis ive done this for years helps me a lot helped with my back pain
Our spine has a natural slight curve to it. If you sleep on your back you should have a pillow. Same goes for the ones that sleep on their sides. And if you sleep on your belly it really doesn’t matter, it might help with some discomfort for some people. But it’s just a case of what you like. But for back and side sleepers you should have pillow
I think , sleeping on the back also improved your breathing over night !
I changed my sleeping position years ago . from stomach to back and i felt that change very impressive and healthy
good advice is to have a small flat pillow under your back and belly when you sleep on your sides. It really helped me with sleeping on the floor
I'm laying on the floor under the table at this very moment. My monitor looks down. The keyboard is held by a laptop holder(it allows to use laptops while laying on the floor, you can look up how it looks). I'm a programmer, so I spend 8-16 hours a day at the monitor. It's very much usable like that and, in fact, because I have to stand up all the time: get food, drinks, wash face, take breaks from working, etc., I actually spend more energy like that than just sitting.
Also my back feels much better than when I was sitting.
I also do full body and back stretches and do bodybuilding, so that also helps with the back a lot.
Using devices(PC, laptop, consoles, etc) should have never been a thing.
just found your channel and im glad i did, youre like the mythbusters of fitness advice.
I find breaking sleep habits and stuff around that impossible so a Sleep on back challenge sounds awesome.
Lol, linen is high vibrational and keeps you cool in the heat!
As a teen, I tried that for a while. Very hard to sleep in any position other than on the back and my hip and shoulder would get sore pretty quickly if I was on my side. Just sleep on a good mattress with no pillow and your neck will be happy in any position, even on your side.
