30 DAYS SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR. Here's what happened to me. 

I am 73 years old. Trust me - let go of what anyone ELSE thinks. The sooner you do it, the better! (You look like an intelligent, thoughtful young man.) Now, as for me - I have been a floor/slim futon sleeper for years. I have no back pain, no neck pain. I sleep deeply and wake refreshed and renewed. It is best for me. Period. If it is best for you, then there you are. No discussion needed. You don't owe anybody an explanation.

My husband and I have been floor sleeping for 1 month. For reference we are both overweight (currently exercising to lose it) so we were hesitant to try floor sleeping because we thought bigger people couldn’t sleep on the floor. I watched this video this morning and I agree with what he is saying. It was painful for us for the first week. We experienced pressure point pain throughout the night because we are heavier. The weird thing was when we woke up and actually got off the floor we felt great! Even better than we ever had sleeping on our mattress that costs thousands of dollars. That made us keep going with floor sleeping. We both feel stronger and healthier in our waking hours from floor sleeping. Had it not been for sleeping on the floor we wouldn’t have started our journey to lose weight. We use a thin rug and blanket but we are having a japanese floor futon made and will use that soon. Neither of us want to sleep on a mattress again. I didn’t realize how out of line my spine, neck, and shoulders were. Also, I have calcific tendonitis in both arms which caused me horrible pain. That had completely gone away with floor sleeping.

I agree with all points raised here. Within 3 nights of floor sleeping all back, shoulder and arm pain (most of which I didn't realise I had until it wasn't there any more) had gone. Brilliant. It's way more comfortable than a mainstream bed.

I been sleeping on the floor for about a week. First few days was a little uncomfortable but soon after that I’ve noticed falling asleep faster and a deeper sleep, also it feels far more comfortable than the regular bed.

Bravo❣ My husband and I (in our 80's) got rid of our mattress and are sleeping on the wood platform we built. Plus.....think of all the toxic materials in our mattresses that we are now avoiding!!!

Had a long running lower back injury, herniated disc, realised my soft mattress was aggravating it hugely. I'm sleeping on a yoga mat with a quilt now and it's the only thing that keeps the pain manageable. I'm dreaming a lot more, for longer. There is something very grounding about it. It's like those weighted blankets for autistic people, except instead of the blanket weighing on me, it's my own weight pushing me into the hard floor. It is immensely relaxing, psychologically. I really do prefer to sleep on the floor now.

I started to sleep on the floor about 1-2 weeks ago, and the first night I slept on the floor I didn't even have a bad night. I woke up maybe once or twice, but most of the night I was fully asleep. A week later, it feels amazing! I feel better in the morning, and I get MUCH better sleep at night. My other family members think I'm crazy lol, but it is amazing! I actually had some sleep troubles before I started to sleep on the floor, as I was sleeping I just wasn't getting into a deep sleep, and woke up very tired in the mornings. Now I feel refreshed in the mornings! Praise the Lord for using these RU-vid videos to show me to sleep on the floor to fix my problem!! Take care everybody!!!

Appreciate you sharing your experience bro, this was a really thorough video. I also slept on the floor for 30 days and noticed the same benefits. However I've recently went back to my bed and have noticed that my joints are beginning to feel a lot more stressed. Think its about time to go back to the floor.

I’ve been sleeping on a Tatami mat for a couple of years, and I absolutely love it! I find it encouraging and inspirational to find others who share in this thing called floor sleeping. 😊

I grew up sleeping on the floor on something made of a plant fiber we called petate. So, now as an adult with several back issues, I have started doing it again on a yoga mat. It was hard at the beginning, specially because I am skinny and my hip bones pressure was bad. Like you I started slowly and now I am again tolerating and even enjoying like when I was a child and no having a bed like most people was not a concern.

Me watching your videos as I’m laying on the floor about to take a nap as I stare at my $2500 bed 😂 The floor is more comfortable to me. It’s very grounding and helps me feel better.

Last year I got rid of my traditional bed and started sleeping in a hammock or on the floor. Right now I am sleeping on the floor to change things up. And I love sleeping on the leewadee mat. Thank you for putting up this video. It is encouraging to know that others enjoy sleeping this way as well!

Great video Roberto, thanks for sharing your experiences. Tonight will be the 2nd night on the floor for me. I am 63 and I really want to be able to do this because it resonates with me and I don’t like possessions or furniture, plus I have back problems sometimes. Last night I did 2 hours but found it quite painful on my hips (I’m a side sleeper). I have a cot mattress which my granddaughter used when she was tiny, so I put this under my blanket after 2 hours, then I slept well. My plan is to do the same every night this week, then increase the time without the cot mattress to 3 hours next week, then increase an hour every week until I’m only on the blanket. I’m hoping that this will prevent bruising on my hips which is what happened when I tried sleeping on the floor a few years back. It was too uncomfortable so I gave up that time. So fingers crossed that I will stay with it this time!

I did that too. At first I had difficultly getting up off the floor. Within 2 or 3 weeks I would spring right up. So it worked on my core. By the 4th day I slept really well. I would listen to binaural beats and just breath the first week to ease into change. It didn't do it for posture but that improved dramatically right into day hours. I felt really good. I folded a comfy comforter in three and slept on that.

I've had some bad back pain as of late, so I'm trying to sleep on the floor. Last night was my first attempt. Currently, my room has no flooring, we just ripped up the carpet, I stacked up a bunch of comforter blankets and placed my yoga mat on top with a few linen sheets over it. I had to meditate until I fell asleep. I slept for a total of 4 hours on it before I decided I to crawl back onto my mattress for the rest of the night. I'm going to try for 6 hours tonight on my makeshift floor bed.

I have just given away my second bed, so I can sleep on the floor. So far I am just sleeping on my yogamat with my matress from the bed on top of it. I feel so nice to be near the ground and I have so much more space.

I'm doing this to flatten out my forward head and kyphosis in my upper back. I believe the kyphosis causes my anterior pelvic tilt

I sleep on the floor for 1 week now and it’s a great feeling it improves my posture I feel I increased my height

Sleeping on the floor gradually fixes ANY misalignment of the spine. Whether its overcurvature or loss of curvature. Im confident our bodies were always meant to sleep on the floor and mattresses are just for business

I’m on night 4 or 5. I feel great when I wake up, dreaming heavy throughout the night, and less back pain.

I slept on the floor like 4years now at first you don’t know how it was for me but now I realize we humans are capable of anything

Will try it, I used to sleep on the floor because my bed would get too warm because I don't like AC.

I do this after I couple of nights of terrible sleep on my mattress. I would wake up sweating and realized the mattress was trapping my body heat. Now I sleep on the floor and not only do I not have a heat problem anymore, my quality of sleep is much better on the floor and I feel no soreness when I wake up.

Roberto, you are so cute! I am going to try this and I am excited and who cares what other people think. Do what you want!❤

My dad, born in 1922, grew up on a farm and always said the most comfortable sleep he ever got was sleeping on the front porch floor in the summertime. Although he and my mom slept in a bed with a mattress, he often laid on the floor to nap and “rest his back.” I find lying on the floor restful as well.

I sleep on a shikibuton. It's amazing. Good video, keep it up.

I sleep on the floor and am always ready to go, when get up, feel tremendously than when I used to sleep in the mattress

Excellant! I am going to try this! Thank you!!

Thank you for a pleasant video. We have slept with our shikibuton for years on the floor but have never purchased a tatami mat. I am researching all the options. Can you share where you purchased yours? Also can you share which mattress you have? I am trying to find the healthiest option at an affordable price. Thanks again.

Roberto - great video! Thanks for sharing, I will try soon as well! What is the tatami you're sleeping on (like a link)? Thanks!

You are you! Congratulations!

Great Roberto!! Keep going ✌️

I am sleeping on a yoga mat. I sorta already slept on the floor on a padded blanket during my teen years so this is not a huge transition. Invest in a good pillow. I don't think I can ever go back to a regular bed.

Cold showers also have great benefits

Although I am sleeping on the floor for better dream recall, my lower back pain has vanished

You know what, I'm going to try it. Can knock it until you've tried it.

I want to try sleeping on the floor but we sometimes have roaches and I HATE those things, and even sleeping on a Western type bed I woke up one morning to a roach 😖

Anche questo video super interessante! Grazie 💪🏼

The lower back arch is called pelvis tilt

This is something i used to do for a night if i was having backaches and couldn't get comfortable on a bed and it would feel much better the next day. I have been doing it now every night for a couple weeks and haven't had any back pain at all and the best part is i used to notice when i shower that my chest/ribcage was at a crooked angle from my tummy, and they are now aligned straight. I thought this was scoliosis and i had no control over without seeing a doctor. Biggest issue for me is I'm mostly a side sleeper and very skinny so i do wake up with sore hips sometimes.

I love sleeping on the floor on thin mat, it has changed my life. I feel more motivated to keep my house clean. I feel more grateful and humble on the floor. When I was on a bed frame it made me egotistical lazy and i would not clean my floor for days. interesting right haha

You know what fuck it im trying it tonight . Ive read loads of "i love it " coments and im curious

Also beds are petroleum products it will effect your skin, hormones and gut health.

You joined a Movement with this bro 😂💪

ATG mentor led me here. I want to try it. I’ve heard Keegan talk about this a plethora of times.

I am thinking of selling my bed and start sleeping on a futon on the floor, don't know how thick it should be doe.

What position do you all sleep in on the floor? Do you have to sleep on your back for it to work?

Hey!! This is a great video! Where did you order your Tatami Mat? :) thank you!

Hello, Roberto! I'm about to start sleeping on the floor, did first night 🌙 😴 seems like good idea. This video you posted a year ago, I just want to ask out of curiosity are you sleeping on the floor still? Like is it really life changing experience or you back to bed? Thx for sharing your experience ❤

You will always fall asleep faster because of the grounding affects

You’re cute

After two nights on the floor, I tossed out my bed and will determine what I need over time. Likely tatami w/ 3" futon. Since my kitty likes to sleep close to me, I will buy a queen size instead of twin size.

Mattresses are pour choices often Between my shoulder blades to my neck was numb one day

Thanks for the video. I'm curious if it comes down to body type if this works or not. Personally I've tested it out a few nights and I like it. I use a carpet + double yoga mat and that's fine. My body is a bit more curved than yours and as such I find it hard to lay in an optimal way and I'm curious if that's where body type makes a big difference. I'm also still searching for a good pillow solution as my normal pillow is too low to make this work.

Did you sleep on the back or on side?

Now you just have to lose the pillow.

Wonderful !!! _The people who make fun of you actually thought there was a pandemic and they wore their assMASKs dutifully._

I sleep on the floor all the time

perchè lo stavi facendo il fra? Nel senso, ora lo continui a fare o cosa? Chiedo per chiarezza, ultimamente mi sta uscendo sto concetto nella feed e son curioso

In what position do you sleep on the floor?

love it

Did you get any pressure marks in the beginning and if yes did they go away after some time of physical adaption? I've tried sleeping on the floor twice and have gotten really bad pressure marks despite adding several layers. Thank you for the video, I liked watching it.

You're the first person I've ever heard say what I know about sleeping on the floor, but only 30 days?

I've been sleeping on the floor for 8 years now

Can I sleep on a couch? Cause I don’t have yoga couch

Are you still sleeping on the floor @robertovolta?

carpet floor or non carpet floor ?

I am a man 28 and when I lay on the floor my sholders and ass are on the floor but my lower back doesn't even touch. I have been sleeping on the floor for just over two weeks now, I am finding my lower back feels akey when I wake up in the morning. Any tips?

Step 2 in your journey is to take cold showers :)

Will you keep doing this?

👍

This man apparently did not do a good search on the Internet. On the contrary, there are thousands of positive comments about sleeping on the floor.

🎯

U need a proper shikibuton (japanese futon)

Are you Chilean?

very nice video, are you from ticino?

I've slept on the floor for years. I feel suffocated in a bed. I don't even like pillows. They make my neck hurt. I don't think having your head proped up is natural or healthy.
