“‘I was on a regimented sleep schedule,’ [Iwanicki] told NextShark. ‘Lights out at 10 p.m., lights on at 6 a.m. No napping allowed during the day, which is one of the cruelest jokes about being stuck in bed all day, not being able to nap.’”

I didn't realize staying in bed for over two months was too long. I'lll try to stay in bed for no more than a month at a time to be on the safe side.

That's just your body loving sleep so much it wants to die to make it last forever.

I use to lay in bed for hours and hours a day for many months, I was the ultimate couch potato, I stayed in bed for so long it got to the point where when I started getting up and walk around, I would feel so weird, and very weak. And I agree with the anxiety part... I changed my habits and started daily routine of walking and running and just being very active and my anxiety and mental health improved.. I feel motivated to do things now.. Staying in bed for too long is harmful...

I started laying in bed all day when my anxiety & depression were more than I could handle. Now both symptoms are much better & my only problem now is insomnia. Trying to push myself to be more active & get out of this slumber I'm in. Laying in bed most of the time is fun in the beginning. But it quickly becomes very depressing.

[adonaiautum]

Stayed in bed for 8 months. Today I runned for 2 minutes and almost fainted! I felt really weak, my ears ringed, my head hurt, my vision blurred and felt like throwing out. Somehow I fight it off by clenching my hands and tensing my body. I never fainted before so I didn't know that by doing so you can avoid fainting.
