[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could any of the desk proponents please explain why it matters?

I think of myself as fairly rigid/uptight/rule-following, but can’t fathom this for the life of me.[/quote]
Because if you ever end up with sleep issues, they’ll tell you “bed” is for two things that start with “s” and “study” ain’t one of them.

However, at their age, I’d rather they make that substitution and so we allow both to do homework wherever they can best get it done. One is and always has been a good sleeper. The other? Not so much but they’ve got a 4.0UW and seldom complains of being tired. Until they go to bed on a Saturday night at 7pm and barely make 10am Mass. Regardless, it’s not the battle we’re choosing to fight. [/quote]

The fact that some people have sleep issues, and one strategy is to isolate their bed just for sleeping, doesn't mean that it's wrong for people to use their bed for other activities if it works for them.

I work from home and bring my work on to my bed at least half the time. I do not see the problem with it. As another poster pointed out, to me, it's crazy to think of a teen who has been sitting in hard chairs and desks all day, and in my case, on to extracurriculars that require enormous physical exertion, would not be allowed to do their work on a soft space.
