@@uglygyal I would sleep on a bed, it would just have to be as hard as a carpet

@@user-wu5of8jg7n We don’t use shoes in my house, plus it’s warm carpet, no bugs either. When it’s hard floor, I use at least 3 blankets.

baaa

I had for many years when I my late 20s & 30s always had my back issues,soft beds kill me.. it does toughin you up brother 🏋️

yeah

Yee you found some Good bs

no, beds are soft so it makes us soft, the floor is hard so it makes us hard, flexibility doesnt come in

No... if you compare a person and a bed, the bed is soft, therefore you are harder than the bed... if you compare a person to the floor, the floor is hard, therefore the person is soft... flexibility comes in when you sleep on a hard floor because you have to remove all tension within the body in order to get comfortable enough to sleep. Removal of that tension makes you more fluid and flexible. Try it yourself and find out. @@him-wg5pu

​@@him-wg5pu soft as in weak though. Your posture would be retained when you sleep on floor it helps to stretch your spine unlike mattress which has our body sink in and it doesn't provide support leading to backpain..

Awesome!!

@@ark198989 Praise the one Jesus worshipped.

Praise the floor

It was really engaging

it was very cringe but good someone enjoyed it

He’s off the sauce now

Woooah! I was wondering why he feels so familiar.

I think he went insane though, just like Connor Murphy. Sleeping on the floor to get stronger? 😂😂😂

Whatabout rocks

Whatabout nails

Whatabout the ocean

Whatabout the fence?

Is there an alternative like a firm/thinner mattress? Because it would be hell if a centipede crawled in the ears/bugs.

OMG same. I think it's an african thing hahahaha. Even if I have a bed I still prefer the ground.

Guy eats on the floor, but has a phone

​@@timewarpdrive77...and?

slept on the ground since university days. me and the wife like not having furniture so no sofas or beds in the house, haha

@@houdabouzammour7562 exactly

Yes, great advice. Also, sleeping on a wooden floor, without a tatami, your heat and moisture can create discolouration on the floor. It's a good idea to roll up your bed each morning, or as often as you can, to let the floor breath. And, if you're using a traditional japanese mattress made out of pure cotton, you should also hang the mattress over your balcony railing(if you have a balcony) to ventilate as often as you can.

Great tips. How should a regular mattress, boxspring or even pillows be cleaned?

@@jackkovar7806 If youre using a boxspring mattress it isn't really "floor sleeping" is it? The whole point of floor sleeping is that your skeleton has a little bit of contact with the hard surface/the floor so that your muscles can relax. I don't know how to "clean" a boxspring mattress. I usualy just vacuum clean my mattress and air it outside when the weather is good. For smell you can sprinkle bakingpowder on the mattress, lett it sit and then vacuum it off. I use a buckwheat filled pillow. Buckwheat can be washed in the washing machine but obviously you need to keep them in double washing-bags with zippers. Otherwise you might destroy your washing machine.

yeap, these are all true, I find the floor cover's make it also easy to wash unlike a whole entire mattress.

​@@jackkovar7806I believe they have vacuums to shampoo those type of material items that are thick.

Yes! The first night, I thought, "Nah, nah." Then I stuck with it and at the 6-month mark my body assimilated this new way of being. So wonderful to discover this community of floor sleepers!

@@GinaGreenlee Agreed. And, I don't know anyone IRL that does floor sleeping. Everybody thinks I'm being eccentric.

Did it correct the back problem? And would this help with posture?

​@travismckinnon2494 it does. I switch it up every now and then. Your back adjusts very good and straightens out overtime when sleeping in floor for long

@@JustVibingFullStop Same here. That's why I'm thrilled to find this online community. Eccentric is dope, BTW. When I was 7 years old my dad told me, "to be successful in life, look at what everyone else is doing and do the opposite. Don't be a herd bird." I'm 62 years old. Dad was right. :o)

You be dead . Face dusfucured if not . Lol. Bad advice . You know people might think your serious accidentally die. Lol. God no.

😂

I think the ancestors of humans slept on trees...

That the only way I can go to sleep upside-down 😴 💤 I can sleep up rite.

That's great!! 😆

I will try tonight. I toss and turn in my bed, having trouble sleeping. All this happened since cancer scare in 2020. "Something's gotta give"... i will try grounding. 😊

Are you still doing it?

@@indyskate111 I still do it, I went all the way and bought myself a futon And out my old mattress in the trash

This is true , I had been feeling back pain in mattress ..mind it I got memory foam mattress and that thing is over $1000. I started sleeping on a yoga mat and never looked back.Every morning I used to have little discomfort and that is gone now.

Still doing it?

😂😂 basically.

He probably played too much Ultima III.

😂😂😂😂

What pillow does he use?

@@Way_Of_The_Light not sure actually…I think just a regular pillow

Facts

About to say the same thing bruh. Whenever I slept in a tent it just hit different in the morning. Never put two and two together until now.

this is so true

here we go grounding garbage

Nope

Sounded normal until you’re last sentence you weirdo.

My cats love me on the ground. I went back to a bed when i moved and cats refused to jump up. Next day bed gone. LOL

I also sleep on the ground, I keep a bed for the ladies dx . I also started squatting when I'm exercising or eating. . Sometimes when I'm out of breath I just squat down because you won't always have a chair/ledge/seat to lay on. . It's very helpful and I just wanted to share this so others can find it. . I like skateboarding and another bit of info. . Rest is important, but stretches and consistent movement is equally as important. . Try to stay warm /warm up /get sunlight. . If something feels stiff or sore. . More movement is required. . Your body produces what I call "sore fluid" . It's what makes your body feel "sore" . There's 2 ways to fix that. 1 is a little bit of alcohol like a beer or 2. Wine is better cause of the antioxidants. . 2 is obviously water and nutrition. But a temporary fix is building up your heart rate. . That is to say. If u feel sore. Stick to your routine from the previous day but make sure you incorporate a type of cardio. Once you're "warmed up" the soreness goes away for an hour or two, since you're heart is reoxygenating your blood and removing the soreness fluid from your muscles. . I did a very intense leg day/week. I couldn't walk normally for a week but during my work outs after a bit it would go away so don't take being sore as an excuse to rest. Just try and meet your energy somewhere close to the previous day. . I'll also elaborate on the wine/beer thing. . The soreness fluid your muscles produce needs to get filtered out through your blood. The alcohol carries it away but wine is better cause of the antioxidants but it also doesn't dehydrate you the way beer does. . Obviously don't get super drunk but a good buzz helps cause just a cup won't be enough but it also forces your body to fight against the alcohol making you slightly slimmer cause it uses the hydration in your body and the organs to remove the "poison" . The alcohol also helps with digestion since it kills bacteria. . But like I said don't over do the drinking. Best before bed. . I follow a Friday Saturday drinking schedule. Sometimes Sunday. . The reason. It's so my body can handle drinking and partying in case I need too do it socially. Sunday-thursday I stay sober so I can build up strength/muscle. . Fasting once a week is also good for u. Intermittent fasting is helpful. . Just from my perspective I avoid breakfast. So I fast from the moment I sleep until noon.then I have my lunch, I then snack until my final feel sometimes I have a 2nd lunch and a dinner but generally I try to follow 2 meal plan with snacks. . Most importantly vitamins are important and so is a source of fat. Milk or something else that works for u cause it keeps your skin and hair fresh so u don't end up looking sucked out/malnourished. . It doesn't matter what u eat vitamins help fight of cravings/over eating

I forgot to mention. The reason I bring up drinking is cause I followed a sober lifestyle for a bit and was exercising regularly but I was starting to gain weight. . When I started to drink a bit to catch a buzz after following the sober route for awhile, I could feel a shift from my insides . It's like I turned the ignition key to my insides. . My body essentially wasn't "constantly fighting" when I was sober but when I drank, my body had an enemy to battle against in a way burning more calories and using the full force of my organs to process the poison. . Like I said don't over do it cause too much drinking, removes hydration and stops muscle growth. You just wanna push the fluid out and wine is the best option. Usually the bitter stuff cause the sugar dehydrates you more in the sweet stuff and doesn't help in muscle growth . That's just my opinion so do what's best for u. . I skateboard long distance daily and do daily stretches. It's what I found that helps. . But most importantly is getting enough water. For me I need a mix of wine and water*separately . I avoid soda or juice until sundown unless I crave it or feel I need it. Usually I go for juice but a soda sometimes hits the spot. . I have rules set for my self. Like always jog/run across intersections/ streets. Something I also need to say is a flash variant quote of Spiderman's mantra. . "With great speed, comes greater patience"

Another added bonus: eye-level with cockroaches and bugs. Love it!

I love it! Me and my siblings always did this as kids. If we were watching TV we were usually laying on the floor. And usually sleeping there all night And still at family gatherings we do this. And the youngest is 30 now

Or you can do something intermediate - get a hard mattress and place on a solid wood platform bed.

For some reason i get more pain sleeping on the floor

@@a-scend_.712 how long have u endured it?

​@@a-scend_.712 Try to sleep under ground.

But how do you sleep? which position

@@echovortex6642 a couple of months i have a floor mat

Pillow or no pillow?

Wait for real? Never heard of that happening before.

how tall are you if you dont mind me asking

Really?

I had scoliosis before as well. I went from sleeping on beds to the hard floor. Took about 3 months to fully straighten out my spine but it does work. I didnt know it would fix my back, i just started sleeping on the ground because it felt better for my crooked back.

"Also I enjoyed watching this man flipping on the floor" That sold me lol, I will sleep on the ground tonight. Thanks bro.

Sounds like you have a bed now. If so, why did you get a bed vs continuing to sleep on the floor in your new home?

@@essieoh6634 didn't you watch the video?

@@benfrese3573hahaha yes

Why have you gone back to using a bed?

Thank you ❤

Do you have a link to a full-body stretch routine?

Stretch that little pu…!

Would love to hear what stretching routine you have developed over the years as well.

Broooo started daily full body stretching and OMG MY LIFE OPENED UP 🔥🔥❤

🤔

It definitely makes your feet stronger and allows your toes to be free but you have to keep more of your attention/energy on not stepping on steel, glass, contaminated sharp objects etc.!

Yes, I love them. I wear them on some of my evening walks. My legs are on 🔥 afterwards. But I’ve stepped on a few rocks and cursed at neptune a couple of times. 💪🧜🏽 6.5/10

I started going barefoot after a running injury led me to a chiropractor which inadvertently led to sleeping on the ground which then led to my cutting out more daily support like shoes. Those minimalist shoes worked for a couple months until pain returned and I went fully barefoot. That was nearly 2 years ago and now I’m just that guy everyone knows doesn’t wear shoes. I keep the floor sleeping out of the abridged story I often tell, but it’s really the whole reason and the catalyst for my transition. My life has changed so wildly in 2 years. It’s almost like I didn’t question anything in life before.

Ive started barefoot shoes i wanna try floor sleeping next

“Static pressure” I am going to google it lol thanks

​@@leap3280how different is a mexican blanket to a normal blanket?

The handmade weave. Ever see one being made on a loom by a Mexican person vs a loud & fast moving machine? It is like the Mexican blanket had comfort intentionally being woven into it. The machine one has only, hurry. There lies the difference to me🌛

Ikr everything is backwards these days

💯

What positions were you able to sleep in while on the floor

There’s a term for this called “grounding!”

I've been sleeping on a mat for many years. It's wonderful.

I've slept on the floor since high school!! never looked back. Used a futon for college but otherwise now just sleep on the carpet with a blanket.

I think it would be more healing in your case as you were basically touching the earth!

Which dessert was it? Chocolate pudding?

My heart goes out for you. Prayers for a better life for you. Kudos for keeping up your spirit. Being thankful no matter how bad our situation may be is the key to inner peace and contentment. ❤

@@nmazhar1979 I appreciate it but I'm fine really My co workers don't even know so I'm doing really good one day I'll be better off I just have to stay positive. The other day a lady gave me a water and cookies when she saw me sleeping on a bench. Her small kindness and comments like yours are light in this darkness I'm facing.

Do you have Cash app, Venmo, etc? I’d love to send you something to help you get your tent and sleeping bag!

@@Astrid-cc3mg Can't do that, Our local banks don't allow the transfer of your currency except a few hard to get into banks like JMMB which I plan to get an account with after I've been working here for 3 months I appreciate the offer but I've got this I make 3k month which converts to 400 usd so not much but enough to get a tent it's tropical over here so a cold night is just a little uncomfortable. I can take it actually I already ordered a tent through Aeropost should be here in a week. just received a new pack after the one I've had for 5 years finally tore from heavy use it took about two weeks. I appreciate it but I'll be okay I'm not one of those other homeless people that don't want to help themselves, it's just really unfortunate that someone as capable as me get such a bad hand in life. I'm a 25 year old with no friends or family but I'm still going. life is good I'll get better one day I'm strong.

I looked at your profile, are you a gamer? You should play league with me whenever I get a computer I love pc gaming I used to come to the local library to play and destress. That would be more value to me than money I can get that if I work hard enough.

So heartwarming to read this. Thanks for sharing

Interesting. I sleep on a hard couch last night and my whole body hurts. I was searching why my my body hurts and found this.

@@andrewtol8756 Good tip,

Wow any idiot can say things on the internet

Thank you for sharing

I'm going to get rid of my bed and sleep on the floor. After doing a lot of research, I've decided to just sleep in a sleeping bag instead of dealing with a floor mattress or futon and tatami mats and all of that kind of stuff that seems to come with very frequent cleaning schedules and cleaning difficulties. Anyway, the only thing I wonder about ahead of time is "Do I need to get two sleeping bags, a regular one for winter time and then try to find a thin or wimpy one for the hotter months?" because it seems a sleeping bag will be too hot in the summer for sleeping. I live in Missouri where it can get pretty humid at times.

Yeap, exactly, when your on the floor use just have to get up, unlike a bad ..you have to mentally prepare to get out of it. Especially if it's very comfortable.

The Japanese style mattress is also thick enough to feel comfortable. He’s basically talking about having even less padding like a rug for better health. But at least the Japanese floor mattress is a good start.

@@Way_Of_The_Light Agreed. It’s a good scaffolding for the real thing

ur pretty, where r u from?

@@k9160 you were a japanese in your past life?

😊Yah to the Japanese tatami mat!

Amazing! Where can I find one?

Can you please post the link from where you bought it ?

I am also interested in buying one. Where did you find it?

. vry good. bst .f luck to u. th’is th way-

@@WillettaWhite I found tatami mats on Amazon a few years ago. My bed is a simple single bed frame (also from Amazon) with a tatami mat instead of a box spring, and a cotton futon on top of that. I don't have a place to roll up and store a mattress during the day in my current bedroom like I used to, so this works best for me.

I'm in the same boat... If I'm not mistaken this is the Sixpack shortcuts guy right? I still have that Monster Mass dvd. lol

Is his old channel still up

I also did that, I didn’t have any pain before I just wanted to try a different way to sleep. And as I was looking deeper into Japanese culture, I wanted to tried it so badly! And now I sleep around 4 years on futon and I still love it. And no matter what other thinks of you mate. You‘re not the only one. Cheers 🎉

Luckily for me I could care less what other people think

Agree sir

It is not gravity, the density of your body mass reached a point of rest, same as if you were on a mattress … gravity is a theory used to help explain the heliocentric model theory… Both will be joining the tooth ferry, Easter bunny and Santa Claus soon… Earth is unequivocally an intelligently created enclosed electrical topographical stationary plane… peace

True

In Africa we slept on mats until the west told us it's poverty 😂😂😂😂

​@@chiyenyumba7135not only africa. See the asian culture but not only. Also in different south american villages and tribes they still sleep on thin mats on the bare floor.

Yo, i'm deep into this "no shampoo" thing too! It turned out that I could've avoided buying shampoos all this time. I just rinse them with water and massage the hair roots. Without shampoos, the hair became better and stronger. Gotta turn to the Nature again 💚

In a year or two you’ll discover barefoot shoes

@@Alesti5 I have heard they’re not all that great and what really matters is having a shoe that properly spaces-out your toes, the lack of padding on the bottom supposedly doesn’t yield many worth-while benefits. But hey that’s just where my research has lead me.

The so called "natural elements of the earth" included things like dying early from childbirth, dental problems, etc. Natural doesn't mean "good" per se.

I've been wearing barefoot shoes for 4 years now and completely got rid of my need for orthotics, and my feet and ankles got way stronger and healthier. A barefoot shoe also reduces the chance of rolling your ankle because you have more ground feel and can make micro adjustments faster as you step. I never wear normal shoes anymore 👟​@@etchieSketchie

I also find form myself a soft bed make the body so comfortable, that I would have a hard time getting out of bed. unlike the floor where in literally just standing up and starting the day. 😅

I m trying this... m 69 yrs. I will let you know, how I feel tomorrow morning. When I was a youngster I always slept on the floor, guess all the energy that I got, cause of sleeping on the floor wth. just a blanket. I only have HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. I got sick wth. a taste of the Corona Virus, (I was ill cause of that near death vehicle accident I had) then again when I went to a Mexican Concert, of which I had one shot, I asked the people there if they got their shots, their response was (we don't believe on shots), hahaha. Now I have gotten all my necessary shots, I never get sick. GOD takes care of me. May GOD BLESS me in my new endeavor in the NAME of JESUS.

I would love to meet your MOM, she's just like me.

@@mariamontalvo3020how was it?

Why sleep on the floor because it is not necessary as there is a much better way. I am a carpenter, buy a 4’ x 8’ sheet of good one side, (3/4”) three-quarter inch (not OSB but rather real) “marine” plywood and make a hard bed out of it at >>about 18” inches off of the floor

is your posture straight? do you sleep with a pillow>?

That;s literally an us moment. exact same problem,age & solution.

I see allot of comme nts saying they have been doing it for years before seeing this vid. Being a 30 years old with back pain and thinking about going down that avenue of sleeping on the floor. Nobody has spoken about pillows? Is floor sleeping pillow-less? Do you do the sleeping block like the tribes in Africa? Do you roll up your clothes? Do you sleep on your back or side?

i've been wearing barefoot shoes for months now and came to the same realization, I promise you will love the floor if you stick with it through any uncomfortable feelings at first. It's like you get to lay in your own little nest I love floor sleeping ❤

now this is a challenge for me,,,I hv to do it as foot Reflexology for my health ( I found a few areas under my foot are VERY painful.

How'd it go 😂

Silly me trying to go straight to Expert level with a few blankets and a pillow. The third day my whole body felt like I got jumped by a gorilla. 😂. Aches subsided in a few hours still which is impressive though. Going to buy a mattress topper and proceed as was recommended.

However barefoot is also very easy to practice 😂
