Did You Know You Spend a Third of Your Life in Bed?
Here’s Why That Is Actually Fantastic!
It’s true – most of us spend around a third of our lives in bed. That’s about 26 years sleeping and lounging under the covers!
It might sound like a lot, but when you think about it, our beds are the one place we go to relax, recharge, and sometimes escape from the world. So, if you’re spending that much time in bed, it might be worth celebrating!
Here’s a look at why spending so much time in bed is pretty awesome.
Bed = best hangout spot ever
Think about all the things you do in bed (aside from sleeping) – binge-watching your favourite shows, scrolling through social media, reading a thrilling novel, relaxing to calming music, listening to your favourite podcast or enjoying a lazy Sunday morning with breakfast in bed.
With so much time in bed, you’re practically a relaxation pro.
Resting is basically your superpower
Every minute in bed isn’t “just” sleep – it’s a moment for your body to recharge, repair, and prepare for the next day. Good sleep boosts your immune system, helps with memory retention, and can even improve your mood.
So, while you might not always feel like a superhero under the covers, your body is using that time to work some real magic.
Creating the ultimate comfort zone
Since you spend so much time in bed, why not make it the cosiest spot in the house?
Investing in soft 100% French flax linen sheets and duvet covers, fluffy pillows, and a mattress that feels like a dream can turn your bed into a little slice of paradise.
A comfortable bed means better sleep, and better sleep means more energy to tackle your day. Plus, crawling into a well-made, comfy bed at night…sublime.
An excuse to nap? Yes, please!
If a third of our life is dedicated to sleep (or at least being in bed), why not make the most of it with naps?
Science even backs this up. It is said that a 20–30-minute nap can improve alertness and boost mood, and a longer nap can help with memory consolidation and creative problem-solving.
So, next time you feel drowsy and choose to take a quick nap, just remember that you’re investing in your health (and using your time in bed wisely)!
Perfect for self-care nights
Your bed isn’t just for sleep – it’s a self-care haven!
Light a candle, grab a good book, or queue up a favourite movie for a cosy night in. This “me/us-time” recharges you and makes the time spent in bed feel even more valuable.
