    yeah I was about to point out that corpos certainly did not just invent the word “bedrot” for their own benefit. This has been a thing for a while. Nurses often have to walk patients who are admitted for several days to prevent “bed rot” symptoms.

    If you were staying in bed all day, every day, yeah you’re gonna get some severe health issues pretty damn quick. But if you’re getting up and moving around regularly, you shouldn’t worry… but in that case, it would make more sense to idk buy a desk, sit at a table, or on the couch. A laptop in bed is not practical and certainly not comfortable with the heat it generates. Quite frankly I don’t understand why anyone would ever choose to use a laptop in bed if they have other options available.

      Because comfy.

      I don’t even disagree with your points. I do notice that my back muscles will quickly undevelop, if I work from bed all day.

      But on Monday, I had a stressful day in the office, so I had no qualms spending yesterday working mostly from my bed.
      Similarly, someone who does more sports than me could easily counteract the effects.
