Why my Husband & I DON'T Share a Bed Anymore! | Sleeping on the Floor | How to sleep on the floor

Here's why I have started sleeping on the floor! In this video I talk about the benefits I have experienced by sleeping on the floor and discuss different methods of how to sleep on the floor.
Sleeping on the floor helps in relieving body aches and back issues. It helps in posture correction. It is also a way to explore a minimalistic way of life. Watch the video to know more about the benefits of sleeping on the floor. My husband, Nikhil, and I have been sleeping on the floor for the past 7 months and have been loving it.

So... have you ever tried sleeping on the floor?!

[@Sunithayogeshh]

I did try this sleeping on bamboo mat for a month's time and my lower back felt really great.

[@AnitaBokepalli]

@@Sunithayogeshh isn’t it amazing!

[@dynamomi]

@Anita Bokepalli mam stachu of sitting budha it's awesome 🥰 what price?? And which sites you purchased please give me the link

[@AnitaBokepalli]

@@dynamomi haha Buddha says thanks to you 😄 we purchased this in a store (r city mall) in mumbai almost 6 years ago... it cost 18,000 rupees and is one of the most expensive purchases in our home - but the truth is that it is priceless! We love our Buddha so much ❤️

I am sleeping on floor from Decades now and yes also use Cold Shower regardless of Weather. Nobody can guess my Age correctly considering my energy level and skin. 😁

[@AnitaBokepalli]

Woah! Way to go dude! I want to take cold water showers too, but shy away from it in the Delhi winters 😭

[@gvennela99]

Cold showers actually help a lot I have been taking cold showers ever since I was born irrespective of weather

[@sS-mn7xm]

Yes cold shower is the best even in winter especially if u r doing Yoga right afterwards...as ur body heats up during Yoga... even after a cold shower, during Yoga I actually end up using a fan...as Sadhguru said we should not wipe off the sweat with a towel while doing Yoga but rather rub it back into ur body if required. So I use the fan instead. With these practices of sleeping on floor and cold shower...traveling anywhere becomes easy and pleasurable...not to mention inexpensive 😀

[@bullseye6969]

I have a cousin who has a high profile job in Dubai. His wife has a govt. job in Dubai. Both of them eat on the floor and also they sleep on the floor. They are fit and fine.

[@padmaja80]

Absolutely agree with you. Sleeping on the floor makes you more flexible also. I have been doing it for the last year. My husband is surprised and asked me..... don't I miss the mattress and the answer is NO.

[@kavitakhanna2851]

I have started to sleep on the floor and honestly its the best thing i did. My back does not hurt so much and i get up feeling like i can face anything 👍

[@mandarpadhye3623]

I am sleeping on floor since childhood. I dont have a bed in my house, a lots of advantages of that. Glad that you made a video on that.

[@karthikck78]

Very interesting video. The one where you mentioned that you used to sleep on the floor while visiting cousin's place is very relatable. Used to do that when we were visiting our granny's place. All the people used to sleep together on the floor 🤗🤗🤗

[@maithilisharma8301]

I used to watch shinshan and they all have their own mattress and they all sleep in one room and in morning they fold it and they have so much space for enjoying and playing from that time I am into Japanese kind home keeping it's always minimal and airy and you have everything what you are needing ❤️❤️❤️

[@dagaz935]

Such a great inspiration. We dont need expensive matrases and to waste a lot of materials. I have slept on a simple camp mat for a while when moving, which actually went great. Now I sleep on a simple sleeping couch. But I know a ‘proper’ bed is not necessary!

[@mesmoimerion]

Well I had my first night on the yoga mat. It was Spartan. It turned out to be a total body workout. Especially my sore legs got a deep tissue massage. For the first time I got more range of motion especially the piriformus. I will never feel pity for floor sleepers. I guess that it is one of those myth and cultural brainwashing that I picked up as a child. Due to illness my whole world crumbled to pieces and now I am still piecing it together. Another fun fact is that I can wash my bed as often as I like. Our dog is happy too. He stopped whining and jumping on my head in the mornings. He is quite zen now. Thank you for your positive vibe. You are a nice couple.

[@gitanjalivombatkere5997]

Fully agree. No air-conditioning at all. Even in the heat of Delhi, we don't use air conditioning.

[@rajams1403]

Loved your channel and contents Anita! We have been sleeping on the floor for a few months now. Works like magic for back pain issues!!

[@nandinitiwari425]

Now I understand all the benefits I'm getting of sleeping on the floor

[@alaynajoline]

I’m definitely considering doing this now! Atleast trying it for a few weeks, getting past the first part, to really embrace this process! I have a feeling I’d love this. All of the benefits, and overall just reminding my brain I do things that make me uncomfortable to grow!

[@sairamsekhar3055]

We are making a new home. We will definitely try this. My wife was delighted when I suggested this. I was 😳🙃

[@radhikarajeev4264]

[@Kunalsingh-od1kt]

Biggest advantage of sleeping on floor is not to share my bed with anybody cause everyone is used to sleeping on the bed 😂😂

[@diptisharma6115]

😁😁

[@jayadas7519]

Such a positive aura u have in yourself... ❤❤

[@arcpd123]

Somehow you realise ..our ancestors life style was so eco friendly and benefical for health at the same time..but we were made to look like stupid and barbaric following these ... and we started copying the west..and it was the gateway to a host of health issues.. i am happy young people like you are opting for these lifestyle changes... thanks a ton... I remember as kids when we used to visit grand parents house everyone used to sleep on the floor and we too used to eat sitting on the floor...then it became a prestigious issue to have a dining table and now people behave like its gavar to sit on the floor and eat... when its proven the benefits of sitting on the floor and eating is immense..

[@ican615]

This is awesome information. Sleeping on floor is a boon for our body. In today's trend people are used to sleep on trendy mattress and that's why a huge number of people are suffering with back ache, lower back pain, etc. Sleeping on floor or on takht (bed made with mango tree wood not ply wood) is a fantastic option to keep your back fit. I am Really thankful to you, to show the such desi advantages. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nidhigosai6595]

Something's magic the way you speak the way you talk .. you're attractive...

Buddha statue is not a show piece... Plzzz have some respect even if u dont worship buddha.... But many people from our country n some other countries also worship Buddha.... So plzz

[@beinghuman3758]

Right

[@paulacaffey6026]

I think ability to sleep comfortably on the floor also depends on whether you are a side, back or stomachache sleeper. I am a side sleeper - and older now - so I am no longer able to tolerate hard surfaces. I now need to have my hips supported - I am glad you addressed the need for this cushioning as well as to keep the hip level by using a pillow or foam between the knees. Very important- for me at least!

[@sidburn2385]

I fall asleep on my side but believe me, everyone that sleeps on the floor with slight cushioning always turns on their back.

[@TheSouthIsHot]

@@sidburn2385 That is so true. I almost always wake up flat on my back with my left leg slightly bent at the hip and knee.

[@cosmicmoo2817]

I have definitely considered sleeping on the floor in the past, and your video has inspired me to try it!

Hi there . Video is really kind of motivation for others to take their First step towards a change in their life be it a habit or new thing to start and other thing.. I got motivated by watching your review of doing 108 sun salutations and the result u attained after a month of doing it continuesly.. Myself and my wife have started doing sun salutation. Thank you .. Hoping for the change to happen in coming days.. 👍

I hv been sleeping on the floor for a good part of 2 decades. Started showering in cold water for the past 2 yrs. I want to do away with most of the furniture. Just have a basic long plank for the living room seating arrangement, some cane chairs for the balcony, some foldable table like structures at floor level. I also want to redo the kitchen and make it like olden times where we can be seated on a stool for cooking and everythjng else accessible from there. My family members think i hv lost my marbles🤣

[@dra.corionavida2547]

Totally agree with u, although cold water I haven't tried enough to get use to it. Great!,💪😊

You are so much alike. I have never put nailpolish from may b 10 years now. I don't enjoy buying n wearing jewelry unless required. I don't even wear my engagement ring . It's safe in locker 😀

I started last month to sleep on floor because my matress started to give me back pain. First day was very uncomfortable, now I dont want to go back to a bed, but I have a cat and when summer comes(here we are in winter) she comes to my bedroom with cokcroaches, etc😭

In my house from childhood we r sleeping on floor and we still sleep on the floor. In it is very common in my area, most people sleep on the floor. I am from Bikaner (Rajasthan)

[@kumud-zm2nf]

I came after seeing your 108 surynamaskar video...But pls pay respect to Buddha's Statue..I know most people in our country use it like a showpiece but in many countries people worship him as a form of respect. Even i do so it feels bad.

[@MayBhank]

Yeah… I’m from Thailand where majority of us are Buddhist (including myself) and I found this disrespectful. I get it that some people use him as a decoration but pleeease at least do your research. Why put him on the floor? Not only that she points her feet toward him. The latter one is EXTREMELY disrespectful.

[@christinakumar6428]

Exactly dear. We all need to respect all God's. That is a must as human.

[@sl9961]

Yeah this is true. There's no need to worship other religions but at least learn to respect. You should have use your common sense and picked another area to shoot this. I didn't watch this video but I came here after seeing that lord Buddha's statue.

[@mhad4308]

You are the one who have to respect her view of Buddha. If she put it in her room, then it has some sort of connotation to her and you don’t have to share that view but quit trying to make her feel bad for not sharing your cultures or traditions. She can do whatever she wants, it’s her house, now if she was in a temple I would have promptly agreed with you, but in that specific situation, you guys are the ones that are narrow minded

[@sudhae4460]

Best is to get rid of it

Greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮 I 💕l o v e your videos. I have one wish: your mic is too close or something, its sounds very loud and sometimes little bit breaks. I listen videos with headphones, so I need to adjuce really low sound in your videos but in this video there is also music so its quite noisy in acoustic way and difficult to listen and understand, focus goes to sounds. You and your guiding and tips are best, thank you so much 🙏🏼❤

[@occultnachos]

Thru an interesting turn of events, I decided to sleep on the floor (where I was sleeping kept breaking due to a bad design) and OMG I never want to go back after 3 months. It is so much easier to wake up especially someone who loves hitting snooze and my low back aches and stiffness have significantly decreased since floor sleeping. Also, I can sit and meditate upon waking much easier now. I'm hilariously surprised how much I love it frankly...like I look forward to sleeping on the floor every night. Also when I do my before bed stretching on my yoga mat, I get super sleepy sometimes and all I have to do is lay down to get in bed lol 😆
