Vidding in bed

[jmtorres]

Hey, does anyone else vid from bed? I just moved my desk over expressly for that purpose--possibly this is a function of me and deadlines and "I can keep working if I don't have to be upright for it." But bafflement has been offered by two of my hausmates, so I'm wondering, am I completely atypical?

Yep, I've been known to vid in bed! And I write in bed all the time. I tend to switch back and forth between my bed and my desk based on how numb my butt is at any given time.

Part of your housemate's confusion may stem from advice given to chronic insomniacs, specifically, that the bed is for sleeping. I was warned to treat bed as sleeping space rather than "sit up and read all night" space, in the hope that my body would get the hint.

Rather than lie in bed and get more and more frustrated at my racing brain, I'm supposed to get up, go away, leave the bedroom and go somewhere else and do something boring until I get sleepy, and then go back to bed, so that I could start to associate the bed with sleeping and not with futility and frustration and anger and exhaustion.

So part of it may be from that. I don't have the option of allowing my body to dictate my sleep/wake cycles, so I have to fight my natural nocturnal inclinations.
