6 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Make Your Bed Tomorrow Morning

Waking up and making the bed sometimes becomes a task we wish we could put off (or forget about altogether). However, doing so can give a sense of well-being and help people get a good night’s sleep. The thing is, if we don’t do it, we wouldn’t be so wrong either, as it seems that leaving it unattended could have positive health implications.

Check out these insights to understand why making your bed might not be such a good idea.

You get uninvited guests right on your pillow.

According to a study, taking the time to make your bed not only calms you down but also creates a cozy home for dust mites. You can’t see them without a microscope, and you may think the place is clean when it’s really not.

Your blanket creates a wonderful atmosphere for bed mites.

Mites love to live in the dark, damp spaces of mattresses and pillows and feed on dead skin cells. When you make your bed in the morning, you “cover” them and create an ideal environment for them with the blanket. At night, the army (which has now multiplied) begins to do its dirty work. Among the unpleasant effects can be skin irritations and even acne.

Dust mites defecate on bed linens.

As they feed on dead skin cells, they leave their “footprints” on the sheets. Yes, mites defecate right where you are supposed to sleep comfortably after a hard day. Their feces cause many allergic reactions in humans. You may get irritated eyes, sneezing, and even asthma.

Even if they are dead, they are harmful.

Like any living creature on Earth, bed mites have their own life cycle. But even when they are dead, you can inhale their remains when you sleep. Scientists say this is potentially dangerous for people who are allergic, as inhaling these organisms can cause the condition to worsen.

Bed mites do not tolerate sunlight.

If you leave your bed uncovered in the morning, dust mites will be vulnerable to fresh air and sunlight, which are their natural kryptonite. That’s why it’s so important to let your bed “air” for a few hours rather than “protecting” these intruders under the covers.

If you want to exterminate them, do not use insect killer sprays.

Dermatologists do not advise using insect killer sprays if you want to go to war with these unwanted guests. It is better to clean your bed with a vacuum cleaner thoroughly. Of course, you won’t be able to get rid of all the mites, but decreasing their number helps prevent allergies.

How do you prefer to sleep, in a stretched bed or in an unstretched one?
