AIGHT BET
18 NIGHTS SO FAR >>
27 boi but I need proof
Like I give a damn
55 need proof and video brudda
I had once slept on the floor for about 3 months and I think those were my most productive months last year.
Keep up the good work bro!! 💪❤
That’s amazing bro, wishing you the best this year 💯❤️
What made you go back into a bed after those three months ended?
JAPAN PEOPLE SLEEP ON FLOOR ALL THE TIME IS THAT WHY THEY SO HEALTHY?????
@@captainclarky5352 Nothing I was just experimenting with my self. When I went back to sleeping on a bed it was then when I realised If It was productive or not.
Maybe 😮@@bobbyluong4263
I been sleeping on the floor for the past year because my life’s in shambles thanks for making me feel better about my situation.
Lol.
I think choosing the firmest mattress ever the best of both worlds. Sleeping on thr floor is an extreme example.
Human beings like to go to an extreme always. Some times a very firm mattress will do the job. By firm i mean almost floor like.

Jak is the oldest sibling everyone needs. Some motivational RUclipsrs might try and push people into certain ways (like religion) but Jak is the most underrated and one of the best motivational RUclipsrs I have ever found. For once the algorithm was actually good to me. Thank you Jak for everything you're doing for the community. One aussie to another.
Thank you bro, I’m just being myself and hope to inspire people along the way, thank you for your support bro, I do not take it for granted ❤️
@@JakPiggott that's exactly why you're so good. You are being yourself, something that not much people can say these days.
facts
My 2nd fav (ruff is my first)
hey jak i just wanted to say thanks for inspriring me to make my first video, even though it has 2 views 😅, these videos are such a w man thanks so much
Guys trust me,
sleeping on the floor is insanely nice once your used to it and it only actually takes about 3 days to get used to it.
One thing that I like about it is the pressure and it is like a nice massage. The only problem is that my mum doesn’t like it when I sleep on the floor some reason, so mostly I have to sleep on my bed and lots of nights I end up laying on the floor and I’ve obviously went onto the floor while half asleep because it feels much better 😂😂
You sleeping on the floor with something under your back like yoga mat or nothing?
My mom doesnt allow me too
I've been doing this my whole life
i remember doing it before but my parents said its bad for me even tho i had the best sleep in my whole life i fucking miss it whenever i wake up my back hurts actually my whole body hurts but when i slept on the floor it was the best experience i miss those days
My mum dosent like me doing it too man
I really appreciate that you state that you are just relating your experience. So many "Health gurus" just advertise things like a product, like everyone should be doing this, almost creating a feeling of FOMO. With that single statement, you changed that. Earned a sub.
Damn bro you really be out here changing lives! Keep it up man
Will do brother, thank you heaps 🫶
I've slept on the floor for the around 8 years and I have found it to be very helpful. Here are some of my observations:
Your hip flexors really matter. The pulling on the spine from the hip flexors causes a ton of discomfort for new floor sleepers. It certainly did for me. I recommend doing a knees-over-toes style split squat and getting a gentle 45 second stretch twice on each side.
Your temperature is FAR better regulated by floor sleeping. I grew up in the south, where 100f degree days in the summer are the norm. Sleeping on the floor allows your heat to be CONDUCTED out of your body much more efficiently than convected out by the air. Body temperature regulation is one of the greatest benefits to sleeping on the floor in my opinion - you really cant fall asleep until your body temperature has fallen a bit, and the floor is a very very good way to do that. Additionally, you don't have to keep your bedroom at 62f (insane for a number of reasons when the night time temps don't really fall below 90f). You also get the added benefit of reducing water loss from the air when you inevitably kick off the covers which helps keep you more hydrated. The fact that some companies are starting to create water cooled beds (beds that remove heat with conduction instead of convection) is the source of some amusement to me - I get that benefit for free!
Drinking a volume of water (not even cold) will also help with this - bed or floor. If I wake up in the middle of the night and have that claustrophobic too-hot feeling I get about 7 or 8 good sips and I am back to bed very quickly. Running your hands under cool water is also very helpful for this too.
Another benefit to floor sleeping is that you can use your foam roller right as your going to bed. I always have a lacrosse ball and a roller near me when I sleep. For years and years I would do it every day (school has kicked me off the habit). Some nights I would fall asleep on my lacrosse ball because I was able to get so relaxed. Trying to roll out in a bed it can be rather tough.
Some cross body tapping reviewing my day really helps me fall asleep as well (the technique is a modified EMDR technique in case your interested).
I have slept on the floor so long that I when I return to the bed I legitimately sleep worse. I wake up and notice that I am just not as loose as when I sleep on the supportive floor. Especially on older beds in hotels.
Speaking of mattresses, you don't ever have to replace a mattress ever again, and nor is there a steady decline in sleep quality until you decide to spend a heinous amount on a new mattress! I sleep in a an old REI sleeping bag I've had for as long as I've been sleeping on the floor. It provides just enough cushion while also being insulative enough to just work. Additionally, you'll never loose your blankets in a sleeping bag - for some people it wont work, but for me it is awesome! The first few nights I slept in a sleeping bag on the floor I woke up with that magic under-the-covers-at-the-perfect-temperature feeling every night. I recommend standing up and stepping into the bag instead of trying to shimmy it over your body laying down.
If you do camp, sleeping on the floor is a great way to get a good nights sleep when you go to the back country for a weekend. Solving that problem is what originally pushed me to sleep on the floor in the first place.
I think its worth experimenting with all these factors if you decide to give this a go. The small women with a large hip to waist ratio that I've mentioned sleeping on the floor to (my partner) have not been very keen on it. So it almost certainly will not work 100% for everyone in all situations, but I think there is a lot to be learned from at least trying it for something beyond a week.
Lastly, the thing that truly changed my sleep forever was using mouth tape (as recommended in James Nestor's book Breath). enforced nasal breathing is truly a life saver and made my sleep around 1 order of magnitude (legitimately 10x) better.
Thanks!
Jak, ever since I’ve found your channel (around the beginning of 2024), it’s been very inspiring. I would like to say a huge thank you for giving me inspiration and motivation, and I’ll be back for more! May God bless you and your family ❤
literally like 6 days ago
Bro we still in the beginning of 2024
I started sleeping on the floor in 2015. It took time and my body has gone through periods of adjustment throughout that period but at this point the floor feels like a soft cloud to me. I LOVE it. My body loves the feel of the floor. Sometimes I use a thin Japanese futon and sometimes I only use a blanket on top of a tatami mat.
Do you had pillow for the head?
@@jetomoon yes. I use two pillows for my head. A pillow between my knees, and pillows and yoga blocks for my arms.
tried it last night. it wasn’t really fun but also not super hard. i only tried half the night on the floor (after remembering i had an important test i needed sleep for lol) but the next morning i felt so elastic, not to mention i woke up at 6 sharp with the most energy ever. this stuff is super powerful. thanks for sharing it jak.
The first night I tried sleeping on the floor went great actually, I still got some decent sleep and it is much easier to get out of and start your day. I’ll keep on sleeping on the floor for a few more days, see how much it benefits me, and then I’ll decide to continue to sleep on the floor or not!
That’s great bro, let me know in future videos how it goes, I try to get to as many comments as I can ❤️
Dude, I second on that
I’m on day 4 now and life has been so much more enjoyable and fun, keep going through with it bro, trust me. It changes you for the better
@@Tyler-x4c Yes I am noticing those things now! I just feel better in the morning, and no back pain whatsoever. I'm really glad I found Jak's video, I'm definitely going to continue to sleep on the floor!
Dude, your telling me. I watch one of his videos a night and I just imagine what my life could be like
I've been sleeping on the floor for about 3-4 months now and personally I just find it so comfortable. As a backpacker, I've always used a minimal sleeping pad and slept great. I find a firm mattress and even my firm couch to be too soft. The carpeted floor feels so much better to me. Try it. You might like it!
I have slept on the floor for 7 days now and I do feel great, I think I will get rid of my mattress and sleep on the ground for good.
i sleep on the floor when i get drunk and wake up feeling like a new man, honestly best sleep i ever get lol
On day one i already feel the benefits-
I woke up feeling loose and full of energy.
I went to bed at 10pm and fell asleep at 11pm. Woke up at 12am and 3am, fell back asleep. Woke up at 6:30 am, but not tired like I normally do and felt refreshed.
Tysm for making a video about this, you're one of the best content creators out there!
Soldier here, Always found that when I sleep on the ground out on field im able to immediately get up and do whatever needs to be done in a very productive matter compared to waking up in the bed in my room, which can take me 20 minutes to get out of my bed.
Honestly? I’ve slept on rocks with just a bivy bag and sleeping bag in -2 degrees celcius (without a sleeping mat) and I feel as if I rested like a champ.
@@relicify1179 honestly thats so cool lol
i put you picture on my bedside and every day i wake up and i look at you face and it motivates me
Ayo
Sleeping on the floor is a life changer and it really improved my energy level and my mood.
If the floor is too hard for you, try ditching your pillow first, it will already be a big improvement.
Been sleeping floor since I was 6 and stopped when I was 12-13, since then I've been sleeping on a hard surface bed. Same benefits but just with elevated feeling. Good videos man 👍
Happy birthday Jak, at the end of the year I am going yo have the exact same experience... Thanks to your videos I finally started changing myself for the better. Now I hope to achieve as much mentally and physically as you did before I turn 18. EDIT: Just saw your community post and idk what your time zone is but still I wish you a very happy birthday.
Thank you my brother. I’m wishing you the best in 2024, you have a bright future ahead of you ❤️
I’ve been sleeping on a shikibuton (Japanese floor bed) for about 4 months. My mobility has improved greatly and most of my morning aches and pains have gone away. I used to not be able to get up off the floor or do a single squat, now I get up and down with ease and regularly squat to do daily tasks. I also sleep through the night now. I keep it folded up during the day and when it’s bedtime, I lay it out and put my pillows down and I’m able to fall asleep and stay asleep really easily. Seriously one of the best decisions I’ve made.
Isn’t that still more similar to a mattress? Really curious because I think this is interesting
honestly, the spacesaver alone sounds amazing lol
@@michaelbower5146 so true lol
@@michaelbower5146 Yes I love it for the space saving capabilities. I live in a little 500 square ft garage apartment so being able to fold it up when I’m done has really helped me better utilize my space.
When i was like 9-10 years old which was like 5-6 years ago, i slept on the floor since there wasn't enough room in the hotel i was staying at.
It really hurt the first 2-3 days, on day 4. It felt like heaven, i was so flexible and energetic.
It felt like i was in another world, just really active.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Jak :)
Whenever I told people that I sleep on the bare floor in a sleeping bag they'd roll their eyes and say nothing. I had no idea there was any benefit to it. I did it because I liked it. Thanks so much for making your video and sharing your experience. I've been doing it for ten years and the past year I bought a mattress you fold up and put on the floor, and now I think I'll go back to what I was happily enjoying before.
Gotta say this video made me very happy. I have had this habit of floor sleeping for months now and everyone made fun of me for it. However, I noticed that nights I have to sleep in a bed, it is MUCH harder to wake up and get moving! Thank you for this video and I will now share this with my friends and family
i just found your channel and i gotta say that you’re just so much more genuine and relatable than other self improvement youtubers. i def will try this challenge out.
Jak, you’ve gotta turn on grayscale on your devices. Absolutely amazing.
bro just simulated having a week long sleepover
Buddy, I’m a lot older than you, and I just wanted to say that you’re doing the right thing, and changing lives. Don’t ever turn from the path you’re on! Really restores hope in humanity.
I tried it for 7 days and heres how it went:
Day 1 - my floor is carpeted and its quite scratchy so i got a pretty shit night of sleep and felt pretty bad the morning
Day 2 - put a thin blanket on the floor which helped incredibly. Slept all the way through the night
Day 3 - best nights sleep i have gotten in a while. Went to bed at 9:30 and woke up at 6 without an alarm feeling incredibly refreshed and no need to stretch
Day 4-7 were pretty much the same as well. Defo gonna be sleeping on the floor from now on jack tysm 💪💪
Hey jak i just want you to know i love you brother. Youve changed my life for the better man. Cheers 🎉
I’m on day 2 on sleeping on the floor and the first night i barely got any sleep cause I’ve never done it before so my body was NOT used to it, but now the second night i only woke up once and still fell asleep.
I felt so much better the next morning
Exactly the same with me bro, I’m day 15 now (4 days after recording this video) and it’s amazing for me. I feel like I wake up better every morning as my body adjusts 💯
I’m glad this helped you. I did this for about 3 weeks while camping (I’m guessing a sleeping bag on a tent floor counts?) and I actually had the opposite experience. I somehow broke my sleeping bag by the end of the trip, probably from fidgeting because I just can’t be still. I’ve tried so many different things to stop fidgeting during the day (none of it’s worked) but at night I can’t really stop myself from fidgeting when I’m fully asleep. And I can’t seem to get to sleep without wiggling my body lol it’s odd. And on the floor fidgeting is even more uncomfortable but my body just won’t stop it feels almost like involuntary. And it’s not like I’m not getting enough exercise or anything, I’ve improved my diet a lot since a year or so ago and I’ve always loved cycling and I do stuff like lifting weights etc. Anyway sorry for the ramble comment I just thought I’d share my experience cos it feels like everyone else here has had a positive experience with it so I feel kinda like what’s wrong with me haha
I slept my second night on the floor this night. I have not dreamed for months. My sleepscore on my garmin was the highest it's been in months. I dreamed crazy shit and had 4 rem sleep phases. I'm not going back. I had a scheduled run training and i did THREE personal bests in this run. I felt great right after waking up.
oh man from just hearing i really want to try this and i hope i will you are doing such a great job as such a young age keep going without you i wouldnt try
to change my life in the new year thank you so much for everything and im going to try this out
Much love bro, I hope you realise comments like this inspire me to keep creating videos bro, so thank you, I would not be here without support like this ❤️
it makes sense why the difference between the soft bed and the hard floor would be so extreme, but my mattered is pretty stiff
there’s an entire asian culture of sleeping on basically hard wood only, so this isn’t a unique thing, only to westerners. i love a firm bed and so do many people. i’ll try sleeping on the floor since i relate to these benefits
bro figured out how people in other countries live
I did this yesterday for the first time in a long time and today I feel much much better
I’ve always told people that I prefer sleeping on the carpeted floor. I think it has to do with the “support” and how it keeps my shoulders from caving in/forward.
A forward shoulder is usually associated with tenseness or anxiety. It’s sort of like the idea of “fake it till you make it”, where good posture can make you feel better.
In addition, ATP (body’s energy molecule) can be switched to an “alert” molecule when the body is stressed. That can cause fatigue since ATP is no longer usable for energy in that state. This is also the reason for long-Covid fatigue.
So it’s been 5 days of sleeping on the floor, and I still have felt no change. I don’t know if this is right for me and I might return to my bed.
Actually, the real key to sleeping on the floor is to actually sleep on the ground, I'm talking about the floor of the earth, it works better if your house is actually on the ground. It works wonders. If your house is lifted off of the ground. It will not work like the way it does if you sleep on the ground, for example, go on a picnic and lay the blanket on the grass or lay the blanket on a corn field with bare dirt. And take a nap. This will ground you to the earth and charge your body. From what I hear. It really does not work at the beach on sand. It works more when you're on dirt. Even if you walk on dirt bare foot in the cornfield it helps your body to get charged from the earth... It keeps you grounded.
bro tryna go full cave man mode
Found this video randomly in my RUclips feed, and just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. It was really informative and you give off such a positive and inspiring vibe. Subscribed.
Thank you for all this motivation❤
Thank you for your support bro ❤️
watched yo vid yesterday, I tried it last night slept 8h woke up not stiff at all. And my back pain went away, I inspected the bed and realized it's uneven. You have my thanks man and a sub.
I do like sleeping on the floor too. I slept on the floor for half a year several years ago, and now I’m back to sleeping on the floor again. It helps me wake up ready to start the day, like you mentioned. I don’t hate going to bed every night either, as long as I can stay warm I know I’m going to feel good in the morning so it doesn’t bother me.
I slept yesterday on the floor and the result was so surprising , i slept 8 deep hours and i had some back pain but it was a nice experience
Day2 : it wasn't really good today i had some pain on my sides and some back pain but ill try to continue the challenge
Day 3 : today was the worse i didn't sleep that much i woke up today energetic with no pain in my back but feeling a lot of pain on my sides and seeing some redness idk if ill continue this
Day 4 : im glad i didn't quit today was decent i slept 8 hours and i didn't feel any pain
Day 5 was the best my body adapted really well
Day 6 i went too late to sleep and woke up early but i woke up so energetic which was surprising
I slept on the floor for several months many years ago. Several years prior to that I had a serious back injury and was in quite a bit of pain and sleeping was always difficult. I tried sleeping on the floor and it made a massive difference. My arms would always go to sleep since I'm a side sleeper, but my back had significantly less pain and I'm sure it helped greatly in the healing process.
I plan on heading back to the floor. I may need just a little extra padding since I am in a basement.
Slept on the floor from elementary through college. Very active, was muscular, no pains except a shoulder injury.
Got a girlfriend now wife who is obsessed with beds. I’ve put on weight, gotten lazier in the mornings and have back pain.
I've been living on the floor for about 3 years now. No chairs or couches either. Glad you found some benefit, and keep up the good work 🙏
I slept on the floor on and off for a year when my kiddos were super young and my husband was deployed …we called it camping out … my daughter was 1 and my son was 8 and the 3 of us would camp out on the weekends and a couple nights a week! We had soft thick blankets and piles of pillows and I don’t remember ever feeling sore or achy! It was some of the best sleep ever! Now I’m old, my kids are grown and my bed feels like crap! I might have to start camping out again! It might help w the aches and pains! Good luck w your floor journey!
I’ve been sleeping on the floor for 15-20 years now. I’ve lost count 🤣. I love it. It really freaks people out though and I was self conscious about it for a long time until I worked in Korea and Japan and found it wasn’t very strange thing there. I have more space in my apartment since I just roll up a yoga mat or fold up my Japanese grass mat and put it away. I started when I would stretch or do yoga and I’d just grab a quilt and sleep stretched out on the floor. My sleep was so much better and I don’t wake up with tight shoulders or neck, my back feels good. I agree it may not be for everyone, but it is definitely worth trying out to see if it could help with ailments or energy or whatever. Plus, it is easy to clean a yoga mat or air out a grass mat on the porch. It feels cleaner than a mattress.
next video: i slept on a Pringle can for 7 days and it disintegrated my virginity
Bruh this is gold 😂
Jak: tells you not to scroll on RUclips shorts
Also Jak: scrolls on RUclips shorts
Not to sound like an ass but... why... not hear me out get a harder mattress and you wont be sleeping on the floor, what your saying about waking up in the morning all stiff less flexible etc... I've never had cause my mattress is a brick spring loaded one.
oh i forgot i don't even need to stretch like ever, not once for like 15 yrs.
Why buy a firm mattress when the floor is already giving you benefits? I've never had a problem with my mattress but if they aren't having problems, the floor is perfectly fine and also saves space. Some of the best sleep I've had is on a hard couch, I'm sure a floor could be okay
@@bradyhem ima pass lying on the floor I'm not in a 3rd world country just yet.
@scottishkxnziii6878 nobody's stopping you, we are free
When I was in New York, I had a platform bed with a 4 inch thick mattress, sheets and several Army blankets for Winters. It was just like sleeping on the floor. The Platform bed was 2 1/2 feet in height, standard full size, made of all wood, and the platform top was of thick plywood over wooden slats.
Oh yeaaaaaa! You are the best
Hi. 40 year old man here. I was inspired by your video so I thought I’d try it. About broke my back just getting to the floor. Been there ever since. Don’t think I’ll be able to get back up again. If my brother is reading this after I perish … you still can’t have my stereo…
Today I learned that the very first bodybuilding meme 6min abs Mike Chang is still on RUclips.
Ok edit, I tried it for 5 days and loved it so much that I decided to buy a futon matrass so I can lie down next to my husband. I would prefer the floor, but I also don't want to sleep seperated. It takes a few days to adjust to the floor but pretty soon I could feel the nice effects. More support, deep sleep and a kind of massaged sensation in the morning. I assume that heavy feeling will get less as I adapt to it more and more. I'm 42yrs old and no back problems, side sleeper. Thanks so much for making the video, it convinced me to try it!
one thing i learned to consider is, when you get into bed and hold a comfortable position to go to sleep, the moment you sleep and your body relaxes the weight of your body pushes down into the bed, while your unconscious, it spreads your limbs out and puts pressure on your shoulder joints and hip joints, that comfortable head pillow is just now twisting your neck under no tension versus weight, that's why people wake with dead arms, painful shoulders and neck ache. just my opinion and experience.
I have lyme disease, i have lots of stress held in my mind from it. Sometimes when i spend too long looking at screens or with headphones in, or even just from having coffee, i get a bit detached from reality because all of this mental stress builds up so quickly.
I remember a week or two after starting treatment i could literally only sleep if i slept on the floor. It is incredibly grounding for my stressed mind. The softness of the bed keeps me trapped in my mind somehow. I can't believe i haven't tried this in months.
I sleep much better now. But in general i have no resiliency during the day. I wake up exhausted. I think i might be able to further reset my nervous system doing this. Ground the body in the physical.
Wish me luck! My life is a mess, hope this helps again :D thanks for the video
For every like this gets Ill do 1 push-up 💪🏽🔥
I've slept on the floor for 5 years. I love it. It keeps me grounded.
I got a yoga mat and 2 blouse blankets (the ones for winter I believe) and have been on the floor for about a week. Pretty close to this point by point, my body was lesss tight and not sore all the time. The pain in my lower back is practically gone and the stifness in my shoulders/hips just gets better with each day. 💯 recommended
You should also do a 7 day barefoot/minimalist shoe challenge.
I started sleeping on the floor because I learned about and bought barefoot shoes with zero arch support and a wide toe box (strengthens your feet)
Barefoot shoes made me think about how the shoes i used to wear were really cushiony and so was my bed, so i started sleeping on the floor with some blankets just to see if my body would feel as good as my feet and a few weeks later I completely moved my bed out of my room and have been floor sleeping ever since.
tangent over, wish you all the best.
I have alot of chronic pain, im 25 and have arthritis since 5. I was diagnosed with juvenile at that age lol
But anyways. Watched ur whole vid dude my second day on the floor i feel like a whole new person actually. And that tension and pressure stuff is so fucking true for me at least. I went to work and i did such a good job and then i had the energy to go on a long ass date ( i dont go out much lol) and im on the floor rn laying and even just laying for a little while i notice if i have to get ip i have thus burst of energy i havent felt in many many years. I feel like i can enjoy my life. And thatbk you for your video man it was so intensive and explained so much of the science side
When I was in high school, I slept on an old military cot without a mattress. I placed a blanket over the metal fence like metal the mattress would have sat on. It sucked! Nevertheless, it resulted in my becoming even more mentally tough/gritty. Grit served me well over the years. I had a different perspective on what tough things are. I learned I was much tougher than I thought I was. Served me well when I shipped off the Quantico, to attend Officer Candidates School. Served me well when work got tough in garrison or when deployed. I was always much more mentally tough than my peers. Coupled with being physically fit and a desire to continuously learn new skills, resulted in a very successful 22 year career in the Marine Corps. Then a great job at Amazon HQ1 and now as a C-Suite executive. Reframe your suffering and use it to fuel your life 😊
It works because its a physical grounding tool for the mind. Youre interacting with a huge hard surface rather than getting lost in your mind. Its 8 hours straight of grounding. On a soft bed you kind of just forget your body exists
YES Exactly! This is why I switched to the "floor". My mattress was getting softer after only 2 years, it felt like I was being swallowed up by it. I was also experiencing a floating away feeling because the mattress was a lot higher now, because of a new bed base. Now I just sleep on a board on the bed slats. So happy to be free of that massive mattress thing - what a burden.
Im sleeping on the floor for over an year, i made more space im my room for home Workouts and feeling amazing. First week was pain after that it became so refreshing.
On vacation i slept on a hotel bed und just felt exausted after waking up.
Guess i always felt exausted after sleeping and thats why i spent more time in bed to compasate, espacially on weekends.
I guess in never gonna switch back to bed.
My Back fells amazing and more healthier than ever, before with an Office Job it was the opposite.
Tip: put a pillow under ur knees, if u Switch to side put it between ur legs.
Bro all of the tension of my back just let loose as a layed on the floor, this mighr be the fix to my back pain. Much love brotha
Thank you so much bro, your videos have been helping me so much. Whenever I scroll, I come across one of your videos and it gets me off this terrible app.
I was watching this video in bed at midnight and i thought why not give it a go for 7 days like everyone else. So I set up 2 thin soft blankets on my carpet floor and I had 2 pillows by my side to keep me on my back and a thin pillow under my head. I've haven't ever been able to sleep on my back I've always had to sleep on my stomach or sides but on the floor it was reasonably comfortable. It probably took less than 15 minutes for me to get to sleep which is really good for me (usually takes a while). I woke up after 7 hours of a really good sleep, no waking up through the night or anything. Although there wasn't any huge changes I did feel a little more awake, productive and my spine felt quiet nice and soft. Ofcourse no major changes but things I would like to see are lower back pain going away. And Being more productive especially in the morning. Thanks guys and I'll keep updating every day. (Also I've been wanting to do this for a while but to keep me focused on my goals I am doing a pushup for every like this comment gets. Within reason😂).
Day 2,
I didn't see to many changes last night besides feeling more awake and productive, and just feeling like I had a deep sleep. I do feel like feeling more productive could be because I'm being disciplined with myself, I want to go sleep on my bed (even tho it's old and hard it's what I'm used to and comfortable with.) But instead I'm going to the floor so I'm waking up knowing I took control of my mind and that makes me feel good.
Day 3
Just woke up and went straight on my phone for an hour, didnt see any more changes today but ill keep doing it and keep updating.
Day 4. I'm not really seeing anymore benefits anymore. But my mattress is the same one my mum had when she was a kid. It's old stiff almost the same as the floor. So that's why I think it's not an amazing difference. But if u have a comfy nice mattress I would defo recommend this.
Day 5.
Not seeing any differences anymore. Kinda looking foward to this challenge being done. But my experience isnt your experience. Might not work well for me but might for you.
Day 6. Once again no changes to report.
Day 7. Officially done this challenge, however it has actually made a routine for staying disciplined. Now before bed I make my bed, make a hot tea, do 10 ish minutes of stretching, drink my tea, then lights off. And I do feel better/ well rested after sleeping on the floor. So I have no intention on going back to my bed, except for comparing how I sleep on my bed vs the floor. Thanks guys and sorry that this comment is so long, after all it did take 7 days to wright😂.
For anyone who doesn't have a narrow airway this is great! Some people have to sleep on their side though.
it's completely normal in where I live. although i was born into a wealthy family in midlands of Sri Lanka. i sleep in the floor because i was used to it since I was 10 years old now i am 16 and you've helped me a lot my fellow aussie jak! thank you So much!
I'm an Indian and we daily sleep on floor, cause of our culture.
I didn't knew it was so unique for you guys
Yep
no it didn't.
I grew up sleeping on the floor - voluntarily - because i grew up in the Southeast (US) when few of us had AC ... so during the summer, it was common for myself and my siblings to sleep in the living room, all six of, near a whole-house window-fan which kept us cool; also, we enjoyed the camaraderie of it (cutting up and talking); well, now when i go camping, i try to sleep on the floor for a few nights before i sleep in the tent at the campsite, just to get accustomed to it again; and it stretches different muscles / tendons / joints - and you do feel stronger after you do this for a few nights, it really works.
I saw one of your shorts about sleeping on the floor when I was looking for your channel, I tried it every day I was on vacation and now I’m back home, I slept on the ground again but I sleep on the bed on the weekends since my mum got it for me so I don’t want to waste it
Happy birthday jak from the T1G team are you 18 now man that's great 💝
That’s why I love camping it’s the best sleep I get, plus the sounds are bonus
Been sleeping on the floor for around 2 weeks now. I tried to go back to the bed to see the difference, and it immediately gave me back pain so I went back to the floor. Gotten so used to it that getting up immediately is getting harder, as I'm used to the floor now.
i was visiting a relative last year and had nowhere to sleep, deciding to sleep on the floor instead of spending money on a hotel for a few nights. i expected to be a bit sore because i only had a few blankets and not even an air mattress but was surprised that my body had no problem adapting and slept surprisingly well.
did that also couple of times allready
just a hard mat on the floor on my carpet und a shallow pillow
I found, that my body goes into sleep mode way faster when sleeping on the floor. Also I'm way more still and in the morning I'm awake immediately.
But after about two weeks my back began to hurt so I switched to my bad again.
Now from time to time I just sleep on the floor for a couple of days until my body tells me to change to the bad again. The positive aspects have remained also on the bad.
In my free time I like to go camping and now also my sleep outside has increesed in quality, so that was cool to observe.
Happy Birthday Jak!
Jak, I enjoyed your video immensely, and relate to everything you've experienced. Although I'm a woman 'of a certain age', ;) I decided 9 months ago to hit the floor (after watching several videos on the topic). I first 'tested' the situation for 3 weeks on a thin, narrow beach-lounge chair mattress, and then ordered a proper tatami mat and a thin Japanese futon (shikibuton). (The day before they were to arrive, I gave away my bed and high-quality mattress.) The floor-sleeping experience continues to be amazing. I still have bouts of insomnia (have had these for many years) but the actual quality of my sleep has improved by a good 70 percent, including fewer incidents of insomnia. I fall asleep more quickly, sleep for longer and uninterrupted hours (e.g. sometimes as many as 8-9, occasionally even 10 if I've been extra tired), have more intense dreams, and feel much more rested and relaxed when I wake up. And getting up from a lying position on the floor has become increasingly easier. I view it as my morning workout. :) I also love the fact that my bedroom now feels so much more spacious. I hope you'll continue to reap the many benefits of floor sleeping, and that your viewers will seriously consider trying it out for themselves.
That's amazing. I never thought of the space it would save too. So many benefits. I'll make sure to try this next weekend.
I don’t sleep on the floor, but I do sleep on a beanbag chair on my floor, and feel significantly better when I sleep on that than my bed
I'm gonna have to try this, I got an expensive Tempur Pedic mattress and have frankly only had worse and worse back problems. Funny I even stretched on my back on the ground and nap on the floor before bed sometimes already - the pressure always feels beneficial and relieving of back aches.
Happy 18th Birthday!🎉 Jak🥳🥳🥳🎊🤩❤️
You are the first youtube channel I hit bell button to bro you arevery inspiring and you are straight to the point I enjoy your content very much
I already slept on the floor for a whole year. I'm just too lazy to change bedding stuff, I don't even use blanket.
Basically I sleep like a homeless and it works great. (Be aware of culture difference though, it too hot here in Asia)
Last year, I only used blanket in December for a week and it back to burning hot weather.
I only swear to use those comfortable things when I'm sick or when I need it.
I don't use chair, I use standing desk.
But live how you want and gradually change until it become a habit that you WANT to change.
I’ve been sleeping on the floor for like 3 years now lol and I always thought it was bad for me man you are truly and inspiration love you man!! Also idea for video I’ve started it replacing breakfast with a healthy smoothie I’ve been doing a banana and honey protein smoothie and I’ve seen an improvement in my mind
I have been sleeping on the floor for almost 2 years now… never looked back and it is life changing!
Aye love to hear that brother! Keep up the great work my man ❤️
@@JakPiggott likewise brother 💯
It’s good your trying new experiences, good job!
I’ve been sleeping on the floor for about 3 years now I recommend you try.
I’ve been sleeping on the floor since 12 and I’m 14 now and let me tell you your bed feels good but whenever your in the floor your muscles get well and your bones feel better you just feel good man
OH SHIT that’s Mike Chang?!?! Looks totally unrecognizable from when I used to follow his workout videos when I was like 12 or 13 (now 27) that’s crazy lol
Wow this is one of the most exciting life changing vuds if all time I'm.super excited to try this out for all my aches n pains n bad posture im so excited thank u so much for making this amazing video
Was sleeping on carboard boxes for like a year, (because i didn't want to pay for a expensive matress that i honestly feel is less comfortable than the floor), and i'm not aware if it made any changes to my body or health or mood.. but i sure as hell saved tons of money not buying a matress, or tons of quality sleep buying a cheap used matress that would have destroyed my body. So i agree, sleep on floor, no downsides for me atleast.
Sometimes I would sleep on the floor simply because it felt more comfortable and after a couple nights here and there of sleeping on the floor, overtime my body I used to sleeping on the floor and on my bed . But almost every time I sleep on the floor I feel like a new born baby tender as can be.
I sleep on the floor or close to all my life. As an adult you need to sleep in the biggest room.
To get as much oxygen at night as possible. You can take supplements to improve your Brian, heart and memory as you sleep. I can improve anyone, in 90 days, and prove-it.
I am going to try out sleeping on the floor, Even without doing it, there is always the benefit of having more space in your room, if you decide to sleep on the floor, you can take your bed out of the room and get more space.
