Scientific Proof That Making Your Bed is Actually Unhealthy Not Lazy ...

Holly

All of you messy girls can rejoice! According to our friends over at elitedaily.com, it's actually healthier for you to leave your bed unmade in the morning than to tuck in your sheets.

Why? Because there are over a million dust mites living on your sheets at any given time. Since they need a damp, warm atmosphere to breed, they benefit from the sweat your body creates overnight.

When you make your bed as soon as you wake up in the morning, it traps all of those mites between your bedsheets and your mattress (right where all of your sweat is), creating the perfect breeding ground for them.

However, leaving your bed unmade exposes your sweat stains to more air, which dries them out. That causes the mites to dehydrate and die. It won't get rid of all the mites, but it will certainly reduce the amount of them. That means your allergies shouldn't be as bad.

There you have it. Now you have something to tell your mother when she yells at you for having a messy room. Are you going to stop making your bed from now on, or will the mess be too much for you to handle?

Thank u for this article!

Interesting facted !!

I wash my sheet regularly. I love my bedroom. I have a beautiful big four poster bed and it makes me so happy when it's made. It's so nice to pull the covers back and crawl into a Comfy, made bed.

I feel fresh when my bed is clean

My eczema is so bad at night. I also shower before i get in bed to make sure my bed stays cleaner for longer. But every night without doubt im up because it stings and is so sore. Creams dont help. Sick of it

I already knew this for a long time so i remove the blanket from the bed every morning.

I can't stand an unmade bed, and I usually wait about 30-40 minutes to make it. Wash sheets on a regular basis. Once a month sprinkle baking soda over mattress, leave for two hours, vacuum.

I'm still making my bed I'm sorry but my OCD will kill me

I always used that phrase and I realized that...

What if you wash your sheets once a week?
