Sleeping on the floor: Benefits and who should avoid it

Benefits and who should avoid it

- Amritha K

It is commonly believed that sleeping on the floor can improve sleep quality, enhance posture, and alleviate back pain. However, is this claim scientifically valid?

In many cultures, sleeping on the ground is a traditional practice rather than a personal preference, often rooted in customs or beliefs about health and simplicity. Despite its prevalence, there has yet to be significant research conducted to confirm the potential benefits of this practice.

As we explore the possible advantages of sleeping on the floor, we will also consider its drawbacks and identify individuals for whom this practice may not be suitable. Understanding both sides will help determine whether sleeping on the ground is truly beneficial or merely a cultural tradition.
