J: On average, we spend one third of our time in bed.

Two thousand, eight hundred, and eighty hours a year

- which is approximately...one hundred and twenty days.

I have a thing called chronic fatigue, which is...

pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.

I jest - there are a whole range of other symptoms!

This video is just about the most obvious one.

If you want to know more, I have a video about that.

Having chronic fatigue means I am liable to extreme exhaustion.

what on Earth are you doing with all that time in bed?

My bed isn't just used in the night. Oh, no!

As you probably guessed, I get through mattresses quite quickly.

Flat beds are annoying, having to constantly build pillow forts.

And not only does it have a super durable mattress,

I've never had a bed with features before.

So, I thought I would test out the bed and mattress

and show you a week in the life of my bed.

People might say, "It must be lovely to spend all that time in bed."

It isn't a choice, and it isn't a holiday from my normal, healthy life.

I can't choose to have a healthy body, but I can choose to be joyful in my soul.

My bed is just a tool to manage my illness,

Doing as much as possible from bed means I'm able to do more of it once I'm out.

Some days, however, I can't get up at all.

J: I would like to get up and do some work;

I was supposed to film today and I had a meeting planned, but

and a massage function to stop my legs from getting palsies.

That's when they paralyse because I haven't moved them in a while.

But the massage function is! Even the dogs seem to like it.

Some days, my body doesn't work but my mind does, and that's actually pretty great.

I might not be able to sit up or anything,

but I still have the presence of mind to get things done.

I can even do my make-up and get ready from my bed,

then film here if I'm still not feeling any better.

Some days, I don't have to stay in bed all day;

The dogs still like to snuggle up on it, though.

I went to London this day, and was really exhausted when I got back

so my friends changed dinner out to being dinner in!

It's amazing to have people in my life who are so understanding about fatigue

and don't judge what I can or cannot do, but instead merely accept it.

even if you do have a really fun bed with features.

So make sure, if there's someone in your life who has low energy,

that you show them love and remind them that you're here for them.

You don't have to be "bed-bound" to be a heavy bed user

PS Being sick is just your body's way of saying that you are too awesome

and you need to slow down so everyone else can catch up.

I really like the massage function. That's really good for palsies.

I like that it has three modes at the top of the panel.

Rather than having to scroll around all the different ones, and the up and the down,

Have you made it the same up as the same down, as the other side?

always the same; touch them at the same time:

I also like that there's a torch on the top of it.

That's good if you need to go and pee in the middle of the night.

We did, however, turn off the under-bed lights
