What happens when you work from bed for a year

What happens when you work from bed for a year Alamy The allure of working from bed is strong – but turning your mattress into your office can trigger a slew of health problems, both psychological and physical. For many people, working from home, or ‘WFH’, has also come to mean ‘WFB’ – working from bed. Young people are particularly likely to fall victim to these bad habits, because they may not feel the strain of them right away But experts say that regardless of whether working from bed is avoidable or not, the ergonomic advice is the same: it’s not good for your body, so it’s very important to vary your posture and support different parts of your body wherever possible. It starts building these associations, which eventually evolve into conditioned behaviours.” Alamy Not only does working from your bed spell potential ergonomic disaster, but it can rewire your brain to disassociate your bed with sleep This is what experts call ‘sleep hygiene’ – essentially, best practice as it relates to being in bed. “Some people will swear that it’s not an issue for them: they can work in bed, they can sleep in bed,” says Salas.
