Some people read and study lessons while lying on their bed to relax from the office session, amid conflicting views on the scientific and health implications of the habit.
According to the Wall Street Journal, many parents recommend that their children study the office and consider lying on the bed to be detrimental to concentration, achievement and health.
Atol Mallotra, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, says that lying down or sitting does not affect the functioning of the brain and its functioning. In both cases, both work the same way.
The researchers have not done much research on this subject, and in 1968, medical research revealed that the performance of students who are lying down is not very different from those who study in the office.
The study was based on a sample of 100 university students. The results showed no significant difference in the scores obtained during the tests.
But the methods of study differed between yesterday and today, as students became more dependent on laptops and other electronic devices, while books and papers have been important during the last century.
Experts often measure scientific effects, ie, brain functions and human absorption, but orthopedic doctors may have another opinion, especially those who study in bed have to bend sometimes or lie in complex positions to hold on to their computers and books.
