00:00:00
I slept on the floor every night for an
00:00:02
entire week not because I was in trouble
00:00:05
with the wife but because you guys
00:00:06
requested me to do so thank you so much
00:00:09
all jokes aside the reasons I chose to
00:00:11
endure this Challenge and track my sleep
00:00:13
on the cold hard floor is because the
00:00:16
floor is cold and hard and the argument
00:00:18
is that is potentially more of a natural
00:00:21
surface that we were meant to sleep on
00:00:23
would I actually sleep better would my
00:00:25
posture improve what other challenges
00:00:28
and discoveries would I learn about
00:00:29
sleep sleeping on the floor this is what
00:00:32
happened but you got to
00:00:35
focus jumping right into night one
00:00:37
setting up my little floor area to sleep
00:00:39
on I did put down a sheet to separate
00:00:42
myself from the synthetic carpet but
00:00:43
other than that this surface was hard oh
00:00:46
yeah let me hop in
00:00:47
bed I can't believe I'm actually going
00:00:49
to do this all right so two things I'm a
00:00:51
little questioning about first of all I
00:00:54
am actually a stomach sleeper I like to
00:00:56
sleep on my stomach but just sitting
00:00:57
here right now I'm realizing there's no
00:01:00
way I'm going to be able to flip around
00:01:01
on my stomach comfortably so I I think
00:01:03
I'm going to have to like force myself
00:01:05
to go to sleep on my back on the ground
00:01:08
the second thing is pillow do I use it
00:01:11
do I not use it I've been reading some
00:01:13
things people are like yeah use a pillow
00:01:15
you need to position yourself correctly
00:01:16
on the floor other people saying no no
00:01:19
if you want the spine to align properly
00:01:22
no pillow you know what I mean anyways
00:01:24
other than that nothing to it but to do
00:01:26
it night
00:01:28
one oh
00:01:31
bro wow honestly it feels pretty
00:01:34
decompressing on my spine right now
00:01:36
pressure points are a little bit hot
00:01:38
right now not going to lie I'm quickly
00:01:40
realizing this might be harder than I
00:01:42
thought my initial Impressions were the
00:01:44
obvious the surface was firm like very
00:01:46
firm however for the first few seconds
00:01:48
this felt kind of good but after a
00:01:50
couple of minutes those pressure points
00:01:52
like where my body's contacting the
00:01:54
ground started to get a bit
00:01:57
uncomfortable would I get used to this
00:01:59
or would I struggle through the night
00:02:01
well anyways I just decided to send it
00:02:03
good night good night
00:02:06
folks now this first night I woke up
00:02:08
multiple times but around 5:00 a.m. I
00:02:10
was able to hit record on my GoPro for
00:02:12
some nightlapse footage and well this is
00:02:15
what it looked like this is literally
00:02:16
what I was doing the entire night
00:02:18
flipping and flopping pillow no pillow
00:02:20
Stomach back Stomach back it was a
00:02:22
pretty rough night's sleep
00:02:33
that's my
00:02:35
quue so I took my morning height
00:02:37
measurement to measure decompression and
00:02:39
I was actually down a half in from
00:02:42
previous averages really feeling the
00:02:44
aftermath of sleeping on the floor
00:02:46
specifically in those hot spots I was
00:02:47
mentioning like the upper back anyways
00:02:49
going through the morning routine and
00:02:51
then sinking up my AA ring what would
00:02:53
the data say about my first night on the
00:02:56
ground soar ain't the right word 10
00:03:00
maybe that's the word I'm looking for I
00:03:02
was back and forth from the stomach to
00:03:03
the back like
00:03:05
dude that was hard it felt like taking a
00:03:08
a break on the ground in the middle of
00:03:09
the day you know how you kind of just it
00:03:11
just feels decompressing right but then
00:03:12
those pressure points started kicking in
00:03:17
specifically the upper back honestly
00:03:19
anyways let's see what the aura ring
00:03:21
says so time in bed 7 hours 31 minutes
00:03:25
total sleep 6 hours 39
00:03:28
minutes really
00:03:30
I don't know man I feel like I was awake
00:03:32
that entire time in the beginning right
00:03:33
there like all the way until like
00:03:35
midnight to be honest with you so you
00:03:37
know this is only taking data I think
00:03:38
based off heart rate temperature and
00:03:40
oxygen levels and whatnot but hey maybe
00:03:42
I was I don't know man it's hard to tell
00:03:43
I was like kind of yeah okay so I guess
00:03:46
not that bad I'm going to um just get on
00:03:49
with my day and see how that goes so
00:03:52
according to the aura ring data
00:03:53
apparently my sleep wasn't that bad
00:03:55
however I'm telling you some of that
00:03:57
sleep that was marked as REM sleep
00:03:58
towards the end of the night I was
00:04:00
definitely awake unless I'm like
00:04:01
dreaming of being awake but I mean
00:04:03
that's just strange because yeah I did
00:04:05
not feel as rested as this data was
00:04:07
trying to tell me I was and this really
00:04:09
showed as I got on with my day heading
00:04:11
to the gym I just felt groggy and kind
00:04:13
of in a Daz like in a cloud in a fog
00:04:16
surprisingly though physically I did
00:04:18
feel strong and actually had a decent
00:04:20
workout it was just more mentally at
00:04:22
this point in time
00:04:25
[Music]
00:04:30
[Music]
00:04:34
oh I can already feel the pressure
00:04:35
points no it ain't bad this is great
00:04:38
this is great living right here that's
00:04:41
what I'm talking about yeah honestly I
00:04:43
do feel a a instant decompression I'm
00:04:46
not going to lie like it just feels like
00:04:47
a relief but then it's quickly met by
00:04:50
like hot spots maybe I'll get used to it
00:04:53
tonight good night
00:04:55
[Music]
00:05:00
so if you can't tell after night 2 still
00:05:02
feeling a bit rough however I did feel
00:05:05
like I got better sleep than night one
00:05:07
and according to my morning height
00:05:08
measurements I was actually measuring in
00:05:10
higher than I did the previous morning
00:05:12
but not quite at my normal morning
00:05:13
average anyways after going through my
00:05:15
morning routine I decided to check the
00:05:17
Sleep data and to my
00:05:19
surprise how how did I still do good yes
00:05:23
so the data was telling me that I slept
00:05:24
optimally but I didn't feel optimal now
00:05:27
looking at the details you can see it
00:05:28
picked up on me moving a lot but this is
00:05:30
actually typical of Me based on previous
00:05:32
sleep data I took when I was sleeping in
00:05:34
my bed then also something I want to
00:05:35
point out is the breathing regularity
00:05:37
for these first two nights was optimal
00:05:39
on the floor whereas taking preliminary
00:05:42
data in my bed I often had nights where
00:05:44
the aura ring recorded me having
00:05:45
breathing disturbances during my sleep I
00:05:48
was still very sus though and decided I
00:05:49
wanted to take a close look at the GoPro
00:05:52
time-lapse footage that I actually
00:05:54
started at the beginning of the night on
00:05:56
this night two man I'm going to have to
00:05:58
look at the GoPro I so
00:06:00
this footage
00:06:01
[Music]
00:06:04
here it's like pitch black oh my gosh I
00:06:09
thought it was night lapse I thought
00:06:12
it's supposed to lapse the night I
00:06:14
wonder if I can enhance this I'm going
00:06:15
to have to try
00:06:18
that I guess it was too dark in the room
00:06:21
yeah so that was a fail but don't worry
00:06:23
on night 3 I will let in more light to
00:06:25
the room so I can get a better GoPro
00:06:27
time lapse to see how I go to sleep in
00:06:28
the beginning of the night until the
00:06:30
GoPro runs out of batteries of
00:06:32
course GoPro anyways on day two I was
00:06:35
noticing something kind of strange yes I
00:06:37
was feeling tired like on day one but I
00:06:39
was still feeling physically sharp as
00:06:42
well as strangely mentally clear however
00:06:44
this Clarity was taking on the form of
00:06:46
deep thinking where I could be doing
00:06:48
something very routinely but finding
00:06:50
myself in very deep thought do you know
00:06:52
that 1+ 2 + 3 + 4 and then onto Infinity
00:06:57
you know just keep adding them and this
00:06:58
and like that equals -1
00:07:05
over2 there's a proof but I couldn't
00:07:08
tell you off the top of my
00:07:10
head all right so I'm probably going to
00:07:12
have to put that back up but the reason
00:07:13
I'm taking this down for tonight is to
00:07:16
hopefully be able to retake that GoPro
00:07:19
time lapse footage that I tried to get
00:07:20
last night but nothing showed up last
00:07:22
night cuz it was way too dark in here
00:07:25
but I'm hoping that like night sky night
00:07:27
Moonlight perhaps is just enough to make
00:07:31
the nightlapse work on the GoPro to
00:07:33
track my move movement patterns over the
00:07:35
first couple of hours until it runs out
00:07:37
of
00:07:40
batteries I always sucked at making my
00:07:43
normal bed and I even suck at making my
00:07:46
ground bed what am I talking about I
00:07:48
never make my own bed I just leave it
00:07:51
I'm like dude I'm going to mess it up
00:07:52
anyways why do I even have to make it
00:07:54
who else is going to see it but me right
00:07:56
I guess my wife but
00:08:01
ooh that's nice I don't want to speak
00:08:03
too soon but I might be getting used to
00:08:06
this are you going to are you going to
00:08:08
come and give me company tonight no why
00:08:11
not I don't want to sleep on the
00:08:15
ground why would I I have a
00:08:19
bed because the ground is a perfect
00:08:22
vessel for going to sleep you see why
00:08:25
have we been sleeping worse this week
00:08:28
it's because it's an adjustment period
00:08:31
anyways here's the GoPro night3
00:08:32
nightlapse footage you can see I go from
00:08:34
pillow to no pillow then I flip over to
00:08:36
my typical sleeping position on my
00:08:38
stomach with the pillow this is where I
00:08:40
actually believe I fall asleep but then
00:08:42
you can see I kind of go from side to
00:08:44
side to side to side and I'm going to
00:08:46
speed this up a little bit here but
00:08:48
eventually I end up back on my back
00:08:51
again and then the GoPro runs out of
00:08:57
batteries it's so early my
00:09:05
dudes right
00:09:07
there
00:09:10
oh
00:09:14
jeez well I definitely feel groggy I'll
00:09:17
tell you that so first of all what I was
00:09:19
afraid of happening ended up happening
00:09:20
and that is the uh extra light coming in
00:09:23
the room from me taking that sheet as a
00:09:25
curtain off the the wall it uh let in
00:09:29
obviously more light early and I know
00:09:31
it's only like 5:40 but still it's the
00:09:34
sun's like just starting to it's not
00:09:36
even coming up but the lights coming up
00:09:38
and it it's in the room and that extra
00:09:40
light it got me up but I was actually
00:09:43
already awake already tossing and
00:09:45
turning so anyways another note last
00:09:47
night when I did wake up for that first
00:09:49
time in the middle of the night dude my
00:09:52
arm was like killing me and my hand was
00:09:56
like killing me now it's not like a
00:09:59
heart attack pain well I don't think so
00:10:02
because this is actually my old injured
00:10:04
shoulder and um like it felt just like
00:10:07
the old injury was aggravated and it
00:10:09
also felt like my hand was aggravated
00:10:11
like I I like Twisted it and it made
00:10:13
like a cracking noise and I'm like what
00:10:15
the heck was it something I did during
00:10:17
the night on the ground anyways I'm
00:10:20
going to I got to get to work groggy
00:10:23
yeah so you got to remember that GoPro
00:10:24
footage is only so long until it ran out
00:10:26
of batteries but even just looking at
00:10:28
that you can see all the to bossing and
00:10:29
turning I must have did something to my
00:10:31
hand when I was sleeping maybe I like
00:10:33
rolled over it or twisted my arm a
00:10:35
certain way but I remember waking up
00:10:36
this morning being like what the heck
00:10:39
happened it feels like my arm got
00:10:41
thrashed last night anyways getting on
00:10:43
with the day that stiffness and pain in
00:10:45
the hand and arm loosened up and well it
00:10:47
didn't Mount into anything thankfully
00:10:49
but still I was feeling very tired
00:10:52
groggy and it was getting hard to focus
00:10:54
in on
00:10:56
work all right um
00:11:01
what was I going to say no idea you just
00:11:04
said film me said film me woman yeah so
00:11:08
I actually had a very important workout
00:11:10
schedule this day and I did not want to
00:11:12
miss it so I did my best to power
00:11:13
through but as you can imagine the
00:11:15
physical toll of not sleeping the best
00:11:17
was beginning to take a hit and then all
00:11:19
of a sudden to make matters worse I felt
00:11:21
a twinge in my knee now there are some
00:11:24
other factors involved that you will see
00:11:26
in a future video coming up but
00:11:28
nonetheless this twinge did not feel
00:11:30
good and had me very scared luckily
00:11:32
though it didn't seem like it was
00:11:34
mounting into anything significant but
00:11:36
to play it safe I cut the workout short
00:11:38
and well now we're on to night
00:11:41
four
00:11:43
oops so I'm hanging that sheep back up
00:11:46
right there because thankfully tomorrow
00:11:49
I get to sleep in till 7 a.m. at least I
00:11:53
hope so yeah hopefully that'll block
00:11:55
some light coming in so I don't wake up
00:11:56
too prematurely but honestly I'm
00:11:58
probably going to wake up like I have
00:12:00
been so many times oh my gosh my brain I
00:12:03
can't think in a straight line it's
00:12:05
like anyways good night all right so
00:12:08
this is just some early morning footage
00:12:10
of the next morning I woke up decided to
00:12:12
hit the camera on record and you can see
00:12:14
I'm trying my best to go back to sleep
00:12:15
but
00:12:18
[Music]
00:12:20
then got
00:12:21
[Music]
00:12:24
it waking up and measuring in this
00:12:27
morning to my surprise I was actually at
00:12:29
my most decompressed yet during this
00:12:31
experiment however something I noticed
00:12:33
in this night's sleep data as well as in
00:12:36
the previous night's sleep data was
00:12:38
apparently according to the aura ring my
00:12:40
breathing regularity was only good for
00:12:42
the last two nights it recorded some
00:12:44
breathing disturbances in my sleep an
00:12:46
issue I wasn't necessarily having the
00:12:49
first two nights I figured it might be
00:12:51
something simple affecting my sleep like
00:12:52
too much dust down under so I decided to
00:12:55
wash my sheets this day for hopefully
00:12:58
better performance the following night
00:13:00
you know what while we're at it I think
00:13:01
I'm going to vacuum going to vacuum too
00:13:04
all right I actually never got to
00:13:07
vacuuming oh almost out of breath
00:13:09
walking up the stairs on this day it was
00:13:11
really all starting to hit me the
00:13:14
physical toll the mental toll in fact I
00:13:16
was actually contemplating ending this
00:13:19
experiment early but then I had an idea
00:13:22
one way to hopefully prevent myself from
00:13:24
imploding and continue this experiment a
00:13:28
power nap I'm normally a person who
00:13:30
never takes a nap like I never like naps
00:13:32
you always feel worse almost when you
00:13:33
wake up from a nap right but like I I
00:13:35
feel like I need it like I just need it
00:13:37
but because the theme of this video is
00:13:40
sleeping on the floor I decided I'd take
00:13:44
this nap on the most hardcore floor
00:13:47
there is I'm talking the hardwood floor
00:13:50
no pillow I don't even think I'm going
00:13:52
to use a blanket we'll see I'm going to
00:13:54
time it I'm going to see how long I can
00:13:56
nap for oh
00:14:07
yeah what the heck is it it's nice and
00:14:10
cool down
00:14:14
here just a great sound
00:14:35
so this might seem like a total joke but
00:14:37
I'm telling you there was a moment here
00:14:39
where I dozed off and that little bit of
00:14:42
a moment I think was all I needed
00:14:47
dude I think I dozed off a little bit
00:14:49
there to be honest with you after this I
00:14:51
was able to carry on with the rest of my
00:14:53
workday and had a fresh Outlook to be
00:14:55
able to push on for the rest of this
00:14:57
experiment maybe I'll have to take naps
00:14:59
more often in the future for emergency
00:15:00
purposes only I just don't like naps
00:15:03
comment below if you like naps or don't
00:15:04
like naps let me know
00:15:07
why this is
00:15:09
insane oh my gosh here's the kicker just
00:15:13
in time just in time for this
00:15:18
experiment linen
00:15:23
sheets I am out of my mind this is only
00:15:26
one sheet it's not even two the Frick
00:15:30
all right anyways I'm going to wash
00:15:31
these so a little off topic but somewhat
00:15:33
related if we're talking about naturally
00:15:35
sleeping I purchased an organic linen
00:15:38
sheet now for the price I thought it
00:15:40
came as a full set but it was only the
00:15:43
bottom cover wo anyways I washed this
00:15:45
too and replaced it with my bottom sheet
00:15:47
the idea behind having a linen sheet
00:15:49
apparently from what I was reading is it
00:15:52
may have some holistic benefits or
00:15:53
something like that I don't know I
00:15:55
wanted to give it a try because you guys
00:15:57
know I'm into that stuff anyway let me
00:15:59
know your thoughts on this topic let's
00:16:00
try it
00:16:01
out
00:16:03
ooh I don't know it's kind of like
00:16:06
different like this cotton this whatever
00:16:08
cotton is like nice and silky but that
00:16:11
roughness is kind of like it's kind of
00:16:14
cozy but we'll see how good it does
00:16:16
overnight on the floor
00:16:18
here I really hope that I
00:16:22
sleep good tonight cuz if I don't I am
00:16:25
going to implode
00:16:36
[Music]
00:16:40
good
00:16:45
morning
00:16:50
oh lot of movement
00:16:52
[Music]
00:16:57
there I think I spent the whole night on
00:16:59
my back did you really I think so cuz my
00:17:02
ribs like right where the pressure is
00:17:04
usually at like they're not not really
00:17:06
tender today or not as tender but that
00:17:08
like upper part of my back well actually
00:17:11
I feel like it's getting kind of used to
00:17:15
it w I'm getting hard sleeping on the
00:17:18
hard ground I'm waking up I feel a lot
00:17:20
better than yesterday let me tell you I
00:17:22
think that nap yesterday actually helped
00:17:23
me get through the day you had a nap
00:17:25
yesterday yeah when around like noon
00:17:29
when I was at work
00:17:30
yeah right on that kitchen floor the
00:17:33
kitchen floor no you didn't yeah right
00:17:35
there how long 39 minutes you're joking
00:17:40
did you put a blanket down no I went I
00:17:42
went hardcore oh my
00:17:45
gosh she's impressed I'm not impressed
00:17:49
I'm just wondering what's wrong with you
00:17:51
so I'd say today was probably one of the
00:17:53
first days of this entire experiment
00:17:55
where I felt like like I'm coming back
00:17:58
out of of it like I might actually be
00:18:00
getting adjusted to this yeah so yeah
00:18:03
I'm going to power through two more days
00:18:04
of this good night oh the green light oh
00:18:08
my gosh see that so I went from thinking
00:18:10
about quitting this experiment early to
00:18:12
being excited to power through to see
00:18:14
what it would bring and the very next
00:18:16
morning after the best night's sleep so
00:18:19
far I measured in at my most
00:18:20
decompressed yet finally above my
00:18:23
average from measurements before this
00:18:24
experiment while still a wee bit groggy
00:18:27
I was beginning to feel mentally normal
00:18:29
again and just like that before I knew
00:18:31
it it was the final night I cannot
00:18:33
believe I made it the final day I I
00:18:36
really thought I was going to quit on
00:18:37
day five I thought I was going to do the
00:18:39
whole Work Week thing you know it's been
00:18:40
a week a work week but ironically on day
00:18:42
five I just all of a sudden kind of had
00:18:44
a breakr and while I don't feel the best
00:18:47
right now it allowed me to power through
00:18:49
these last two days I do have one fear
00:18:52
though and that is now that this is
00:18:55
manageable down here tomorrow when I
00:18:57
finally get to go back into my bed is it
00:18:59
going to be too soft do you know what
00:19:01
I'm saying and then you're like why
00:19:02
don't you just go sleep back on the
00:19:03
floor if you adjust it to the floor to
00:19:05
to be honest like it's still sucks down
00:19:07
here I'm not going to lie like the floor
00:19:08
is still it's not the best I'm just
00:19:10
saying it's manageable so what if I just
00:19:12
messed everything up so yeah I was
00:19:15
afraid that now that I was getting used
00:19:16
to sleeping on the floor that when I
00:19:18
would go back into my bed it would be
00:19:19
too soft or something and then I'd be
00:19:21
all messed up regardless I powered
00:19:23
through the final night and finally
00:19:25
finally the week was over so there it is
00:19:28
I cannot believe I did it I can't
00:19:29
believe I made it a whole week sleeping
00:19:31
on the floor anyways I'm going to wash
00:19:34
this now and then put it back on my bed
00:19:37
and finally get to sleep in a normal bed
00:19:40
tonight but will it be the same so after
00:19:43
a week on the floor would my body accept
00:19:46
going back into my normal bed and how
00:19:48
does this week of sleeping on the floor
00:19:49
data compare to my normal sleeping in
00:19:51
the bed data by the way sleep last night
00:19:53
was actually terrible i've got like a
00:19:55
couple red markers
00:19:57
there well lady and gentlemen it is time
00:19:59
to look at the results so my first night
00:20:02
back into my normal
00:20:04
bed was fantastic dude when I first laid
00:20:08
down it was like Euphoria man I felt
00:20:12
like I was just sinking into a cloud of
00:20:14
bliss I'm not trying to exaggerate it
00:20:17
felt amazing slept pretty decently
00:20:19
according to my details here 7 hours and
00:20:21
6 minutes of total sleep I had a good
00:20:23
sleep score optimal breathing regularity
00:20:26
in my bed and markers pretty much they
00:20:28
were before I did this sleeping on the
00:20:30
floor experiment however it doesn't look
00:20:33
so different than sleeping on the floor
00:20:35
however let's now take a look at the
00:20:37
entire week sleeping on the floor
00:20:39
summary compared to an entire week of me
00:20:41
just tracking my sleep data normally in
00:20:44
my
00:20:45
bed boom so first of all looking at the
00:20:48
data tracking my normal sleep in bed for
00:20:51
a week we can see well I guess a bunch
00:20:53
of different numbers here but looking at
00:20:54
some important ones the average total
00:20:57
sleep per day for the week was 7 hours
00:21:00
and 20 minutes also the average deep
00:21:02
sleep per night 1 hour and 43 minutes
00:21:05
and the average Rim sleep per night 1
00:21:07
hour and 55 minutes however when we go
00:21:09
over to the floor we can see there is a
00:21:11
decrease it only had an average of 6
00:21:13
hours and 52 minutes per night an
00:21:15
average deep sleep of 1 hour and 39
00:21:17
minutes per night and an average REM
00:21:19
sleep of 1 hour 47 minutes per night so
00:21:22
all of those averages are lower than in
00:21:24
my normal bed and I would like to blame
00:21:27
most of that on the discomfort of the
00:21:29
floor being just way too firm for me to
00:21:32
get comfortable and sleep comfortably
00:21:34
now something interesting on the
00:21:36
contrary looking at my normal week tract
00:21:39
of sleep you can see my breathing
00:21:41
regularity was only good for the first
00:21:44
five nights if you guys have seen that
00:21:46
video then you'll know I talked about
00:21:48
this however when I jumped to the floor
00:21:51
I had optimal breathing regularity four
00:21:53
out of the seven nights and only three
00:21:55
good nights where I had some
00:21:56
disturbances and I suspected those good
00:21:58
nights were maybe because it was
00:21:59
starting to get like Dusty and my sheets
00:22:00
were getting old on the ground and like
00:22:02
right after I washed them I had an
00:22:03
optimal night and then for some reason I
00:22:05
only had a good night the next night but
00:22:07
then another optimal night on the final
00:22:08
night now I actually think this is due
00:22:10
to the floor being cooler one of the few
00:22:13
benefits people claim that sleeping on
00:22:15
the floor has you know like cold air
00:22:17
typically sinks if that's the right word
00:22:19
because it's more dense well it's more
00:22:22
cool near the floor and thus I think I
00:22:25
slept better because it was cooler or
00:22:28
maybe slept better isn't the right word
00:22:29
because I did get less sleep and like I
00:22:31
said it was uncomfortable and I was
00:22:32
tossing and turning blah blah blah but
00:22:34
at least my breathing regularity was
00:22:37
better now also some interesting data my
00:22:39
lowest heart rate and average HRV data
00:22:41
was slightly worse than sleeping on the
00:22:44
floor for my lowest average heart rate
00:22:46
sleeping on the floor was just a little
00:22:48
bit less than my normal data and my
00:22:50
average HRV sleeping on the floor is a
00:22:52
little bit higher than the previous week
00:22:54
normally sleeping in my bed and then
00:22:56
another piece of data I was looking at
00:22:58
that I think is important to touch on is
00:23:00
my height every morning and how that
00:23:02
fluctuated throughout this experiment so
00:23:04
you know first thing in the morning
00:23:06
usually you're typically a little bit
00:23:07
taller than you were like the previous
00:23:10
night because you had time to decompress
00:23:12
overnight and add a little bit of space
00:23:14
in between the joints and whatnot well
00:23:16
at first in the beginning of the week
00:23:17
sleeping on the floor I didn't have much
00:23:19
decompression that first night and then
00:23:21
it kind of came slowly towards the end
00:23:23
as I got used to sleeping on the floor I
00:23:25
think just all the tossing and turning
00:23:27
the poor quality of sleep um even though
00:23:30
the data didn't say it was that poor
00:23:32
quality I just think affected that
00:23:33
amount of decompression so unfortunately
00:23:36
the decompression I had sleeping on the
00:23:38
floor based on the measurements I took
00:23:40
in the morning was not better than
00:23:42
sleeping in my bed but all in all even
00:23:44
with some of these positive signs of
00:23:45
data I personally can't say I felt like
00:23:48
I slept better on the floor I mean
00:23:50
obviously as we saw in the video I was
00:23:52
not feeling as good as normal especially
00:23:54
in the beginning of the week but even
00:23:56
towards the end when I felt like I was
00:23:57
getting used to sleeping on the floor
00:23:59
it's still it was subpar let's just put
00:24:02
it that way and there's one more factor
00:24:04
that I didn't really touch on yet about
00:24:06
sleeping on the floor that kind of was
00:24:08
mentally getting to me and it's just the
00:24:10
fact that it's the floor and it's like I
00:24:13
don't know if lonely is the right word
00:24:15
but it's just something about sleeping
00:24:17
on the floor that feels it feels down
00:24:20
you know you're you're down on the
00:24:21
ground no maybe that's just from getting
00:24:23
used to sleeping slightly elevated in a
00:24:25
bed throughout the many years of life
00:24:27
and I think that's what also made
00:24:29
getting back into bed so much better it
00:24:31
felt like I was elevated so much softer
00:24:34
and just back to normal now all of this
00:24:37
data combined splitting the differences
00:24:39
now taking what I learned from sleeping
00:24:40
on the floor the benefits potentially
00:24:42
there but the benefits potentially in
00:24:45
the normal bed as well what I think I
00:24:48
might need to do to sleep more optimally
00:24:50
find a cooler environment or find
00:24:52
something that can cool me down while
00:24:54
I'm sleeping there's those like chili
00:24:56
pads or whatever that you can sleep on
00:24:58
that apparently make you cool that could
00:25:00
actually be a significant bioh hack I
00:25:02
should look into let me know if you guys
00:25:04
have any experience with those and maybe
00:25:06
what brands to look into because
00:25:08
honestly I have no idea where to start
00:25:10
and some of these ones that I actually
00:25:11
have been looking at the last couple of
00:25:13
days I don't know if it's quality or if
00:25:14
it's going to pop or something so yeah
00:25:16
let me know about that that that is
00:25:18
something the cool surface of sleeping
00:25:20
on the ground I think really helped with
00:25:21
my breathing regularity and um yeah if I
00:25:24
could mimic that in a softer bed
00:25:26
environment I think that would be it
00:25:28
amazing something also I just realized
00:25:30
was at the end of tracking my normal
00:25:32
sleep in my bed the last like 3 days or
00:25:34
so I kind of was waking up with some
00:25:36
neck discomfort now the entire time
00:25:38
sleeping on the ground I didn't wake up
00:25:41
with any neck discomfort it was only
00:25:43
those like hot spots you know where my
00:25:45
back was touching where my butt was
00:25:46
touching and occasionally where my head
00:25:48
was touching when I chose to sleep on
00:25:51
the ground at least in the beginning of
00:25:52
the night without a pillow like I said I
00:25:54
was all over the place pillow would go
00:25:55
on pillow would go off I just didn't
00:25:57
know where to go with that but still no
00:25:59
neck pain so with that in mind I'm also
00:26:01
wondering is my bed perhaps too soft you
00:26:05
know it's not like I need something as
00:26:06
firm as the ground because like I said
00:26:08
that was uncomfortable but what about
00:26:10
cutting the difference something in
00:26:11
between you know is my normal bed just
00:26:13
like too soft maybe it's too worn out
00:26:15
maybe when I flip over on my stomach I
00:26:17
don't even know if that's an optimal way
00:26:18
to sleep but it's probably not but maybe
00:26:21
my body is arching and it's causing me
00:26:23
this like neck pain maybe I should try
00:26:25
to teach myself to sleep on my back or
00:26:27
maybe the side or something let me know
00:26:29
your thoughts as for this video that's
00:26:31
what happened when I tried to sleep on
00:26:32
the floor I hope you guys enjoyed this
00:26:34
let me know if you have any experience
00:26:35
in this realm let me know your thoughts
00:26:37
thank you all so much for watching thank
00:26:39
you all so much for your positive
00:26:40
support and feedback hope you guys all
00:26:42
have a great day peace I will see you
00:26:44
all in the next video
