Bed Rotting is a Dress Rehearsal for Your Funeral

You aren't resting... you're decomposing. ⚰️ Gen Z calls it "Bed Rotting" or "protecting your peace." I call it a dress rehearsal for your funeral. There is a massive difference between restoration and decay. One refuels you; the other leaves you more exhausted than when you started. If you are sleeping 10 hours a day and still waking up tired, you don't have a sleep deficit—you have a purpose deficit. In this video, we attack the epidemic of apathy. We look at the neuroscience of the Freeze Response and the ancient concept of Acedia (the spiritual demon of gloom). I’m Michael. We don't do toxic positivity here. Get up, wash your face, and let’s get to work. 👇 Discussion: Be honest: Is it "self-care," or are you just hiding from your life? Let me know in the comments.
