Alain de Botton sort of talks about this in Religion for Atheists. Why it's important to have rooms (or buildings) that serves a certain purpose.
Literally one of the things people ask when you have sleep problems is if you do other things in bed (like watch TV, read, relax).
It has been known to affect sleep patterns to stay in bed or the bedroom all day.
I mean my apartment has like 2 rooms so I can either sit on the couch or the bed.
Oh I know. I didn’t say it was fair, just that they ask.
Could you expand? I don't know Religion for Atheists.
He talks about people needing secular places for different things. One place to be calm in, another place to be sad in, a place to be in awe.
Religions all have so many things in common for a reason. We need to separate the things that we don't like about religion and utilize the things that work.
We used to have a room with the internet in. Now we can't be rid of it and all it's distractions, stimulation and stress.
I don't know it either, but I figure it's the same general idea that is fairly common, which is that certain spaces should be reserved for certain activities.
i.e. bedroom is for rest and sleeping, this corner is for reading, this room is for being creative, this room is for work. it helps focus you on what you are doing in the moment
