So I’ve been seeing the so-called “Privacy Bed” making the rounds on the Internet and being touted as “perfect for anyone who suffers from anxiety.” The “Privacy Bed,” actually called the Bed Tent, is a tent that fits your bed (depending on size) and gives you complete seclusion and darkness in your own bed while you sleep, relax, read or whatever… It reminds me of making a “fort” when I was a kid out of blankets and a folding table.

I’ve noticed a lot of blogs claiming it’s good for people with anxiety to get a full night’s sleep. While this may be true for some who suffer from anxiety—I guess it would give you a cozy cocoon-type environment—for me it would probably make it worse. I’d feel like I was suffocating. Perhaps it’s not for folks who suffer from claustrophobia or cleithrophobia along with their anxieties. 

I do like the idea of being in complete darkness, though. Any light is a complete distraction for me when I sleep.

The Bed Tent is reasonably priced and sizes range from Toddler to King-size.
