Why do I Always Sleep on the Bed, Not on the Floor?

Straightway, I am telling you I love to be on the bed, rather than flooring. I have had some horrible experiences with flooring, later I will discuss it also. Now I am sharing the reasons for prioritizing bed, for a comfortable sleeping experience.

Comfortable sleeping experience

Only a proper bed provides a comfortable sleeping experience. When we lay down our stretched body after a whole day of work on the soft surface of the bed, it initially delivers a comfortable experience.

Then we only require a comfortable pillow to have a wonderful sleeping time. Undoubtedly, the bed delivers the best experience for sleeping. Even 8-10 hours of sound sleeping is possible with soft and comfortable bedding.

Good for health and the human body

Undoubtedly, the bed is the most proven and scientifically identified place for a satisfying sleeping experience. Soft bedding holds our body so nicely during sleeping time. Even after a long time of sleeping, I remain healthy enough. Doctors highly recommend soft bedding for pregnant and aged persons.

After hours of sleeping no problems and no spots appear on the skin. However, some have misconceptions about sleeping on the bed.

Traditional practice

From the ancient period of human civilization, we did not have a proper bedding system like today’s. However, with the development of technologies, nice bedding systems have already developed. In the ancient period, somehow our ancestors tried to sleep on a top structure which is the first phase of today’s bed system. So, sleeping in bed is not new at all, nevertheless, it is our traditional practice.

After laying bodies on a bed, we feel the connection with our early ancestors.

A true Experience of sleeping on the Floor; why you should not Sleep on the Floor

I have had a terrible experience with flooring. That’s why I always recommend you to sleep on the bed.

It was more than 10 years since I faced the nightmare of a lifetime. When I was in 12th class, I used to stay in a hostel. One night, I slept on the floor as I did not manage the mattress from the teacher’s room. 

During that night, I did not sleep well at all. The floor has become so cold and I somehow slept on it. After waking up from bed, I thought everything was good. I was yet to face the harsh reality when I came back from the washing room. When I looked in the mirror I saw my face in such bad condition. It was an allergic reaction, and my whole body faced the consequences of it. 

Sleeping on the floor

Then, I went to the doctor for treatment. After the check, the doctor said I was attacked by a dangerous insect, which is responsible for that allergic reaction. I was so lucky that I survived that scary night. The doctor told me that worse could have happened to me. That dangerous insect could have entered my body through my ear and nose.

Sharing life’s true experience of skin allergy problems that came from flooring I have yet to disclose others’ problems of sleeping on the floor. 

Sleeping on the floor increases the risk of fractures or feeling too cold. Those who have an allergic problem, suffer in the long run. That’s not the end, for those who have joint issues like arthritis, floor sleeping is dangerous for them.  

Laying on the floor for a long time creates body pain. On a hard surface, our body feels so uncomfortable. That could lead to insomnia and other sleeping disorders. Those who have posture problems suffer from muscle pain from the flooring.

I only opt for bed, for sleeping, and ignore sleeping on sofas, any rough surfaces, or any similar things.

Is it better to sleep on the floor or bed?

In some cases, pregnant women see positive outcomes of sleeping on the floor. Provided that, if she does not have pre-cold issues. Otherwise, sleeping on the floor has negative impacts on large extensions. 

This especially brings problems to those who have muscle problems and cold allergic issues. In the worst-case scenario, flooring brings insomnia and other sleeping problems.

That’s why I do not suggest you sleep on the floor without any considerable reason. Use a bed and soft mattress for a comfortable and peaceful sleeping experience.

Sleep on the floor or bed; voting

I asked every family member and close relative about their personal opinion on this case. They shared their experience and opinions on sleeping on the floor or the bed. I have attached their opinions and comments on the chart here. 

It is a question of personal preferences. You should sleep where you like to be. Finally, sleeping on the bed has more positive outcomes than the floor. So, decide where you like to sleep.
