“bed rotting” just refers to lying in bed for long periods of time.
It doesn’t matter what you do while you’re in bed or why you’re there, as long as you’re cuddled up in bed beyond bedtime. people have laid around and stayed in bed for long periods of time for years, many Gen Zers online note that “bed rotting” has to be intentional and come with no guilt or “Sunday Scaries” to really count and be regenerative.

There is some confirmation bias here. We were joking about celebrating the other deadly sins and then along comes "bed rotting" at the perfect time.
Rest is good for us. God has told us we should rest, on the Sabbath. But chances are you read "bed rotting" and didn't think of "Sabbath rest."
The slightly derogatory name invites criticism. So does some of the comments.
