If you pay any attention to sleep hygiene advice, you have probably heard many times that you should get up at the same time every day for optimal sleep. But does that mean you can never lounge around in bed a little in the morning? According to the Scottish, not at all. In fact, they have a term for it: hurkle-durkle. In this episode of the podcast, we will:
- Define "hurkle-durkle"
- Differentiate hurkle-durkling from bedrotting, another popular social media trend
- Review the factors that seem to be necessary for a proper hurkle-durkle experience
- Explore how this concept, applied in moderation, can be applied to our feelings of positivity or negativity about being in bed awake
