Years of research has led experts to boldly claim that getting out of bed is simply not worth the hassle.

A loosely grouped collection of scientists, philosophers and laypeople have fundamentally agreed that bed is the place to be and any attempt to get you out of bed should be resisted as strongly as possible.

While the outside world contains dangers such as terrorism, knife crime, people with tattoos and people without tattoos – your bed is soft, comfortable and forgiving.

‘There is literally no reason any of us can find for leaving your bed more than once a week. If you can have a fridge, kettle and TV in your bedroom then you just need to go food shopping once a week and you’re sorted,’ said Dr Sleapeez, in a press interview conducted from his own bed.

People who stay in bed all day are likely to feel safer, be more mentally stable, and experience fewer homicidal thoughts. Although there is a greatly increased risk of bed sores.

Dr Sleapeez recommends turning yourself once an hour to reduce this risk.
