STOP making your bed!
Hate having to make the bed every morning after waking up? What's the point when it's just going to get ruined again? Well, now we can help you avoid that chore and with a very good reason
Scientists who spoke with BBC claimed that leaving the bed unmade allows the millions of creepy-looking dust mites who share the sack with you to die off. What are these Dust mites? How damaging are they? How do we get rid of them?
Know Your Enemy
Dust-Mites which reside in your beds need to feed on shed flakes of human skin. The beds where we sleep and shed skin all the time are perfect breeding grounds for such creatures. The pillows and the mattresses on which we sleep absorbs moisture from our body on a regular basis.
What can these tiny microscopic creatures do to you? A lot. These creatures are known to cause allergies such as red eyes, itchy skin, sneezing and even diseases like asthma!So the question is how can we stop them?
The Simple Solution
The answer is simple, and one that you are sure to like. Don't make your bed! Don't believe us? Hear from the experts yourselves.
"We know that mites can only survive by taking in water from the atmosphere using small glands on the outside of their body," Dr. Stephen Pretlove told the BBC. "Something as simple as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the sheets and mattress so the mites will dehydrate and eventually die."
So the next time you wake up feeling too lazy to make the bed or get into an argument about it with your spouse. Just don't do make the bed. Why? Because the doctor said so.
