Why I Sleep on the Floor | Minimalism

Dude, I just tried sleeping on the floor...I haven't woken up as fresh in a while. This whole mattress business is a scam.

I remember I used to go to sleep in bed then wake up on the floor. But it was soo comfortable!

When I use to have friends over they would always wonder where my bed was-

After sleeping on the floor for a good month now, I've started to sleep a normal amount and feel refreshed when I wake up.

Lmao that intro got me brother

I had never heard that sleeping on the floor, or specifically a futon, would help your back. In fact every experience in life I've ever had sleeping on the floor, with or without a sleeping bag, has destroyed my back. When I went to Japan I was immediately sceptical about sleeping on tatami and a futon mattress, but it absolutely was the best sleep I've ever had and the best my back has ever felt on waking up. So not a placebo effect at all.

I'm a minimalist that has so much stuff that I can't fit a bed in my room.

Great video bro and I feel you. The main reason I started sleeping on the floor is because I do a lot of workouts in my room with weights and also my family was doing construction on our basement and I live in the basement so a lot of things are just weird so I got to the point where I just had to put the frame away and I decided to put my mattress up vertically and then I just slept on the floor. I had SOOOOO MUCH space it blew my mind. The key to getting really good rest when sleeping on the floor is making sure you’re very active and eating about three hours 3 to 4 hours before you’re going to sleep. You have to be active that way when you go to sleep you’re already tired and you won’t have an issue falling asleep. I did landscaping this summer and worked at a grocery store and worked out/played basketball damn near everyday. I used 1 blanket on a carpet as my BED and 2 blankets as my covers. I did this a lot honestly. It was beautiful because when I would wake up I would get straight up there was no morning grog or nothing like that. I also learned to sleep on my back in the process. Because I’m not a back sleeper I had to do a lot of things to make myself tired so when I was sleep on my back I would fall asleep just off the strength that I was very tired. Where I’m staying at rn I prolly slept on the floor like 4 times and a weighted blanket was my cover :)))) GREAT sleep lol.

I did this same video but because I had an injury in my back and I was curious if the myth of sleeping on the floor is actually better for your back. Well it is and I probably will never sleep on a mattress again unless I have to. Good job man

This is interesting I started sleeping on the floor and have been feeling so alone in my choice. Thanks for this vid

For me, I told my parents outright I’d be getting a shikibuton to sleep on the floor because the mattress I have now is so old and has been giving me lower back, shoulder, and neck pain and it has no more actual support - you just sink in. They’re supportive cuz they know my style of living is very different. I’m a minimalist also. And my mom, not my dad yet, knows I’m Buddhist so I prefer to have a free clean space to meditate and practice martial arts.

You sleep on floor because you are down to earth. That's great..👍👍

I like your content! You make really high quality content for a RU-vidr of your size. Keep uploading because I know you’ll make it big.

Came here to get insight on sleeping on the floor ONLY. You farted and I liked and subscribed. Keepin it real! Love it haha

Hi there ! Im so glad i found your video , i had to throw away my bed for different reasons , but in the end i think it was for the best , but i wanted to know something about tatamis or futons... I've seen a lot on amazon and ebay i actually bought one (hasn't arrived yet) still i think it's going to be a scam ... and i dont know whether to buy a sleeping bag or an inflatable mattress .... what do you recomed ?

Can't unnotice that piano behind you. Also, how did you scare the roach away? Haha

2:44 I literally have the same piano book in the back. Thanks for this video I’m going through a transition phase of sleeping on floor

Your room is beautiful my brother

I would always sleep on the floor just whenever, (I have this weird personal thing where I have a hard time sleeping in one place for too long, so switching between the floor and my bed helped) then one day I started suffering extreme neck cramps. It would literally get to a point where my neck was so stiff I couldn’t turn it at all. I tried literally every exercise I could find, and while they helped they were only temporary solutions, meaning I’d have to do the exercises 2-5 times a day depending on how bad it was that day. But I noticed that whenever I slept on the floor it seemed like the stiffness was not as severe. Eventually I stopped sleeping on my mattress altogether and after, probably less than a month, I felt no soreness in my neck at all. Sleeping on the floor is definitely something I recommend people trying, especially if they have any stiffness in the spinal region. At least from my own experience it’s one of the best changes I’ve made, with low risk and high reward.

Same situation. Bed went in the trash. Then....lots of health improvement. I love it. I dont have aches and pains anymore!! None!

Quality legenddd

I’m thinking about getting a custom made futon. But I can’t decide if I should get all wool, or part latex part wool. Does anyone else have a natural futon?

Loving your videos man, like the asian doing quick math

What music did you use on the video?

i removed my mattress topper last week so now my mattress is essentially as hard as my floor... solved all my back issues in a week p insane🙂

Welcome to the animal life i love it..

Woohoo!! A real person!!

You can get more space if you get rid of the book shelves reduce it to one and declutter the books that you have read already and probably wont ever read again you can sell them, donate them or just throw them away. Detached yourself from the book clutter lol keep your faves, the ones you will read again and the ones that's really important. You will have even more room to place your tripod and soft box. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲

that fart gave you one more subscriber

why did you choose the soft box light?

Easy solution! Buy a Japanese futon! which is like 40-120 dollars. It's affordable and will last for long. Overall better quality compare to what you have there. 😂

I love your vids man

I subbed just because of the intro 😂

You could change your books for eBooks and just keep those are really important for you and you could discard your shelfs too.

LOL you think 13x13 room is small? my boys share a 10 by 12 that is split down the middle! I built em loft beds

This deserved more views lol

Bro said "farted" and "bullshit" in the first 30 seconds and got his video de-monetized 😂😢 Let's have a moment of silence 🕯️ P.S Great work on the vid btw! As life improvement habit lover, I definitely wanna adopt this into my lifestyle. It's going to be a challenge convincing my partner to get onboard (no pun intended), however i think I can make it happen. She might just come back home one day to a "re-arranged bedroom" 😂😂😂 Anyway, keep up the great work! Happy New Year and all the best from Western Australia 🦘😎🤙🏼

I have the same blanket

tatami room soon

where did u put the bed parts

Hey I like minimalist too...👍👍❤️

Another side benefit of sleeping on the floor is it gets rid of plantar fasciitis as it stretches you out properly.

What about those who sleep on the side

What editing tool do you use?

You room is 13x13 feet that’s Big! thought 10x10 bedroom’s were standard

Nice vid. Subbed.

Good Video

13x13 isn't a small room. I would say it is above average. But I think it is awesome you did this.

Get a kindle, you will save a significant amount of room space.

i'm starting uni next year i decided to look this up. especially since i absolutely adore the japanese culture. really glad i watched this video, great job!

nice video

You are going to have a million subs in the end of 2021. Remember this

He just farted.

Yo...my first name and middle name is same as yours bro. Crazy. I do have a last name though. I am probably older than you as well. But this is crazy. Any way first time on your video. Great video.

My understanding is that your back "goes to sleep" after 20 mins on the floor.

Tong mean flip-flops in french

interesting

THAT AAAA DOE

how old are you Mr Tong

Me: Mom can we have Elliot Choy Mom: No we have Elliot Choy at home Davis Tong: ... just playing aha I did the same thing to my bed better to film my vids on

Legitimate question... if you're about to have sex, how do you do it comfortably without a bed?

I would love your thoughts on calling yourself a minimalist with that amount of clutter. I don't judge anyone's own opinion or choice, but I can't see why you'd want it there?

I wonder if yoga mats don't contain toxic chemicals. With a porous skin and extended exposure.... Hmm

Hey if you’re seeing this just know that you have a purpose and Jesus loves you and he wants you. Repent and turn to him while you can. God bless you❤️🖤

ooga?

I can’t imagine that this healthy. I had to sleep on the floor a few days once and my back hurt like crazy even weeks after.

In this video: Asian man finds out sleeping like an Asian man is actually beneficial and minimalistic. Who woulda thunk it?!

Thanks for the video - Jesus loves you, man!

it's not minimalism if you sleep on the floor. You are just an typical countryside Asian.

Stop using minimalism as a trend. Not having a bed is not even close to being a minimalist. It is mainly about priority and function. Because judging within the first five seconds into the video, from you background alone I can tell you have a lot of shits that are neither a priority or functional. Just get rid of other things as your bookshelves and piano so you can install you bed back in. Your back will thank you in the long run

If an asian does it, you should to.

For calling yourself a minimalist, you’ve got a lot of clutter
