The new Gen Z trend: 'Bed Rotting' and the risks to mental health

A new phenomenon is spreading among the younger generation, known as "bed rotting ", where individuals spend hours in bed, not to sleep or due to illness, but to browse their phone or watch content without doing anything else.

This trend has become popular on TikTok and is often presented as a form of self-care, a reaction to stress and fatigue.

However, mental health experts are concerned about the negative impacts this trend could have on individuals' health. If it becomes a common routine, it could signal a deeper mental health disorder and a way to distract from real problems.

For this reason, it is important for young people to have a balance and take care of their activities, including physical activity, social interaction, and healthy rest.
