Definition of «bed rotting»

Bed rotting refers to the act of spending an entire day or extended period in bed, often surrounded by snacks and electronics, as a form of self-care or coping mechanism. It is characterized by a deliberate lack of productivity and a focus on rest, scrolling, or watching media. While it can be seen as a way to recharge, it is often discussed with a sense of ironic self-deprecation regarding one's mental state or laziness.
