Your bed is the place where making love occurs. Maybe, like the Ilsley Brothers, it occurs between the sheets. Maybe you enjoy some of the rough stuff like they did in Basic Instinct. But no matter how you swag out, sex is a great thing to do in your bed. Just make sure that you use protection and remember to stay hydrated and stretch properly first. And of course, cuddling is a good idea, also. But the acts of sexuality and cuddling are not the only great reasons why your bed is a great piece of equipment for your overall health and fitness.

Your bed is a great place for sleeping, too. While it is perfectly natural to get really drunk and just pass out in all kinds of strange places, this is far from the ideal situation for the achievement and maintenance of excellent health. In fact, the entire notion of sleeping in strange places at erratic schedules is extremely antithetical to a great health regimen. Since sleep should occur at roughly the same time every night (or during the day, if you happen to work at night), keeping a jagged schedule can be terrible on your health overall.

And since alcohol induced sleep has a lower incidence of REM sleep (which is the level where dreams occur, and is necessary to prevent the onset of insanity and paranoia), getting drunk and passing out carries still one more issue above and beyond getting robbed. Not to mention that your bed is the best place to receive proper spinal support – the ground tends to have a bit less give to it, and can be jagged and leave bizarre marks. So if you intend to live well, get plenty of sleep – and since you are going to sleep anyway, use your bed to do so.
