In a world where people spend thousands on anti-aging creams, yoga retreats, and wellness therapies, one village has adopted a method so bizarre that it sounds straight out of a horror movie. Believe it or not, people here sleep inside coffins—not because they are dead, but because they believe it helps them live longer.

Yes, sleeping in coffins… every night.

“It reminds us that life is precious”

Residents of this village say the tradition is not about fear or superstition, but awareness. According to locals, sleeping in a coffin makes them confront mortality daily, which helps them value life more deeply.

Many villagers claim they sleep better, stress less, and wake up more grateful. Some even believe it improves mental discipline and keeps arrogance in check.

Coffins are customized like luxury beds

These aren’t horror-movie coffins. The wooden boxes are carefully designed with soft cushions, ventilation holes, and even small reading lamps. Some residents decorate their coffins with motivational quotes like “Life is temporary” and “Wake up alive”.

For them, it’s not creepy—it’s comforting.

Outsiders are terrified

Visitors who hear about the tradition are often horrified. Many refuse to even enter homes once they see coffins placed neatly beside wardrobes. Some tourists have reportedly fainted, while others secretly take photos, turning the village into a dark curiosity hotspot.

Social media reactions range from:

• “This is next-level horror”

• “My anxiety could never”

• “Imagine waking up at 3 AM inside that”

Doctors react cautiously

Medical experts say the coffin itself doesn’t improve lifespan, but the psychological effect could be real. Constant reminders of mortality may reduce reckless behavior, lower stress, and encourage healthier choices—factors that do influence longevity.

However, they warn that for people with anxiety or claustrophobia, this practice could do more harm than good.

A philosophy, not a fear

Villagers insist this is not about death worship. It’s about discipline. One elderly resident said,

“When you sleep where the dead rest, you learn how to truly live.”

Would you dare to try it?

While the world debates self-care routines and mindfulness apps, this village has chosen the most extreme reminder possible. Love it or fear it, one thing is clear—this is not a bedtime routine for the faint-hearted.

So the real question is:
Would you sleep in a coffin… to wake up more alive?
