Are you a living room person or a bedroom person? It's a question that has sparked debate on the internet. But the answer you give could tell you more than just where in your home you spend the most time.
For some, the bedroom may have been the only place where they had any peace or privacy when growing up. As a result, some people may prefer their bedroom as an escape from social interaction. This could be particularly true for those who find being around others draining. On the other hand, living with family or friends can make you love spending time with them in communal areas of the home.
For others, their bedroom is strictly for sleeping. This can help differentiate between sleep and entertainment. It can also help make it easier to sleep when your mind associates the bedroom with sleep. But if you're not too bothered about cleanliness, you might be more of a bedroom person - though this isn't to say you're unhygienic.
Bed rotting - where people stay in bed to recharge and do nothing - is becoming more popular. But spending too much time in bed can have the opposite effect and suggest you're not at your best mentally. Low mood and staying in bed aren't mutually exclusive either. It's whether it's a pattern for you and whether your hibernation helps or harms.
Ultimately, it's important to look at why you prefer one space over another. Is it the people you live with, the space itself or your own anxieties? If it is the latter, it's worth visiting your GP or seeking the help of a professional. Otherwise, you can make your space feel safe by introducing visuals, sounds, scents and more.
