Effects Of Staying In Bed All Day: Why Is Lying Down A Lot A Bad Idea?

The side effects of staying in bed all day include development of bedsores and body aches, especially in the lower back. Lying on bed all day also causes stress and depression, and some other psychological and cardiovascular ailments.
Science gets a bad rep for being boring, difficult and for very smart people (see: nerds). But that doesn't have to be the case. At ScienceABC we believe that if science is communicated simply and made relatable and fun, it can be for everyone. As Micheal Jackson said best, as simple as ABC. So far, we've tackled complex and vast topics like Einstein's Time Dilation, the Immune System, Evolution, Quantum Entanglement, while also asking the questions that nag us at night like Is the science in the movies accurate?, Is it possible to have insects the size of humans?, and Why can I hear a thundering sound in my ear?. So, join us for some simple science with a whole lot of fun thrown in! Subscribe to us for your regular dose of science and don't forget to share our work if you liked it.
