Probably unpopular opinion, but I think eating in bed is a disgusting habit. Same as people eating hot food at their desks. All the smells mix together and makes the office stink like hot garbage. It makes me want to hurl so I have to leave my office every lunchtime. It's so incredibly gross!
Fair enough too! I must say that I don't ever, even when working from home. There are a couple of people in my office that are so incredibly gross - you should see their keyboards, ewwww!!!
This is someone suffering from extreme depression. Not wanting to leave, basically closing up inside a room with all the supplies they need. We're laughing, but she needs help.
Being practical and efficient with space isn't depression, it's rational behaviour. How is it saner to put arbitrary space between things you use regularly? Do you also keep your kettle and coffee in separate rooms?
Dividing our spaces by usage is healthy and let's our brains seperate our activities. Not leaving your sleep room and mixing it with other purposes is unhealthy.
It’s almost like different people have different brains that work differently and there isn’t a one size fits all solution for what is best for all people. Personally, I don’t need to be in a different room to differentiate my activities.
I used to be a furniture salesman and this is one of the most difficult things to get people on board with. The bedroom should not have anything food related or entertainment related. It's not a mixed space. Your bedroom is for sleeping, swinging with your neighbors, and changing clothes. Nothing else.
Do you have any idea how unbelievably snobbish you sound? Do you know how HUGE a % of ppl only have 1 room that is their own? That live in studios or have multiple roommates/extended family sharing kitchen& entertainment areas? I'm 40, I've never had my very own place. Ever. I like to be private, I don't want to be in front of random roommates when eating or to argue about entertainment. I use my bedroom. Get over it
Listen, if I had a whole house, maybe I would set it up like that, but I dont. I have 1 (one) large bedroom and thats it. I watch tv there, eat there, work out routine there, play my synthesizers in there, my whole life is there.
People are reacting a bit too harshly on this. If you have the possibility of dedicating your bedroom for sleeping etc. only it makes plenty of sense to do that. Especially if you have any issues with sleeping. Of course if that's not possible due to limited number of rooms in your apartment / house then it's out of the question.
my bedroom is everything from start to finish, it has my bed, my workstation, some food items, I have a thermos for hot water - I mean, I also don't have another room to use but hey
I like open yet compact spaces. If I wasn't already loving with people I'd happily be in a studio so long as it was fully equipped and not one of the occasional "we have a cupboard and small bench for a microwave, but no sink" places.
Studios? I'm in a 5 bedroom house with two reception rooms and a kitchen. We also have 8 adults living here, four of which work from home. So yeah, my bedroom is my office. It's the only room I have. It's also where I chill out.
This is ridiculous. My (bed)room is my personal space, where I also happen to sleep. Saying people should only use a room for one purpose is stupid and elitist.
We don't but not bc of any of the reasons Mr judgy said above. We have 1 TV in the living room & that's it. It works for us but if someone has a TV in their room that's their choice. Should be able to live how best suits you!
Why, as a furniture buyer, should the furniture salesman have any say whatsoever in what I do with the furniture I am buying? Seriously, if I was buying a microwave stand and the salesman was like "Wait! What room are you going to put it in? You're not putting it into your bedroom are you?" I would get the fuck out of that store.
Get people on board with? So because you sold furniture you felt it was your job to lecture people on what to use their rooms for according to your personal preferences?
Man, try living in a dorm situation where you have to work off campus and the only food on campus available to you on your meal plan closes when your shift ends. And knowing that microwaves are considered contraband.
Yeah, the only way you could have one is if you had one of those rent-a-mini fridges that had the micro built into it. They had a kitchenette on each side of the building, but it was too far from me. My dorm was four floors iirc. Can’t remember where it was cuz I never used it.
/It's almost like the school is cramming you into a space with four concrete walls and a bed then telling you to figure it out, PS here all these rules. Like schools these days are large for profit corporations and not places of higher education concerned about the well-being of their students./
Also, to clarify, I was older and due to circumstances out of my control had to be in undergrad housing as a grad student. And wasn’t allowed to change mid academic year :vom:
If I had my own way, I would have a room that is purely for sleeping, just a bed and a small light projector. I’d make the room become a place that my body knows is for going to sleep and I really believe I would be able to improve my sleeping habits and get better sleep because of it.
Okay but what if I live in a room mate situation and so my room is also my entertainment area and like I could technically eat in the kitchen but my room mate is nasty and I don't trust surfaces in there?! What then?! But serious, trying to get my own place. My PS5 and PC won't be allowed in my room.
I assumed this was a dorm room type deal and in that you'd have your entire house within a shared bedroom. So it made sense to me how she set it up. But also, let people do their thing as long as they're not hurting themselves or others, let it be.
Why? Seriously, why is it that way? Are you just trying to get me to buy more furniture? What is wrong with having my computer desk and a mini-fridge in my bedroom?
Do you sleep well? Then procede. If you are not, the "wrong" actions in the room for sleeping might be the cause. Coz only sleeping in this room will program your subconciousness to fall asleep easier.
Holy fuck! You mean i can finally write out my long manifesto like comments without having to thread them and go back and substitute and with & because i desperately need the character space!
