I tried WFB (working from bed) – here's why I don't recommend it

A laptop, phone and notebook lying on a mattress, a pair of hands is typing on the laptop.

Once an unimaginable luxury, the rise in remote and hybrid working has made it possible for more and more people to combine the office with their mattress. Although a long-term hybrid worker, I’ve always chosen my desk over my bed. But faced with a few unusually early mornings, I decided to break from the norm and experiment with WFB (that’s Work From Bed).

I tried WFB for at least two hours a day, for three days a week. While at first I definitely saw the appeal – spreadsheets are a little more bearable from a blanket – it didn’t take me long to start missing my usual work setup. And even though I loved the convenience first thing in the morning, by the time I went to sleep at night, I was growing tired of my bed. But, in a frustrating contradiction, I wasn’t feeling very tired.
