Why you can't make your bed in the morning

Since childhood, our mothers have taught us to have order, that the room should be clean and tidy. A bedroom where the bed is not made looks sloppy, but smart people insist that there is no need to make the bed and here's why. In recent studies, British scientists have drawn conclusions about the health hazard posed by a made bed, or rather, by its inhabitants.

Reasons why you shouldn't make your bed in the morning

Why can't you make your bed in the morning?The fact is that microscopic mites live in furniture and bedding. A sleeping person sweats in his sleep, dampening the sheet. It is precisely these conditions that are considered favorable for the reproduction and growth of these small parasites. By jumping out of bed and immediately covering the still warm, damp sheet with a blanket, we create paradise for them. This may be what is causing your or your child's allergies.

Attention! A made bed is a home and table for dust mites. They feed on dead skin particles and are the cause of allergies, dermatitis and even asthma.

Each bed is home to about 1.5 million dust mites, which can harm your family's health.

How to properly make your bed after sleep

Messy Unmade Bed

Dust mites hate three things: dryness, direct sunlight and fresh air. Shaking and vacuuming will not help in the fight against invisible pests. An effective way to remove pests is to wash and dry clothes outdoors.But not every housewife changes bed linen every day like in a 5-star hotel. Therefore, you can prevent ticks from living and reproducing to the detriment of people using simple rules:

  • After sleeping, leave the blanket folded back, allowing the bed to dry;
  • Open the curtains or blinds immediately, allowing the sun's rays to enter the sleeping area;
  • While you drink your morning coffee, try to ventilate the room, at least for a short time.
  • Change and wash bed linen, blankets and pillows regularly.

You can quickly make your bed immediately after returning from work if you plan to meet guests. Otherwise, you can simply close the door to the bedroom so that an unmade bed does not become an eyesore. Or console yourself like Nosov’s hero: “Why cover it if you lay it out again in the evening.”

Older people have a tradition of hanging pillows and mattresses out to dry in the summer - this is an old way to fight fungi and mites in bedding. But doing this once a year is not enough. Good news for lazy people - the sleeping place requires daily ventilation.

Comments and feedback:

They taught me this in the army. After getting up, the blankets are thrown back onto the backs of the bunks and the personnel leave for exercise. They return an hour later, and only then the bed is made up.

What a vile lie - then answer - where do ticks go in bed with the accessories thrown away - do they immediately jump out of the bed and run out of the bedroom, or do they still hide in their nests and continue to live? About the army - it’s also not true - for not making the bed right away - you’ll be punished immediately... It’s apparently the parents who are bothering the author-youngster or the traffic dealer - that’s the topic that’s been heard.

Read the internal service charter... but the lip has nothing to do with it

Why can’t they come up with something to justify their laziness?

I wonder when they put you on the lip for an unmade bed. Dude, you got it wrong, Uncle. When getting up in the morning, the serviceman threw the blanket and sheet onto the back of the bed, got dressed and went out to exercise. During this time, the barracks were ventilated.

Well, the person said it wrong. And an unmade bed can actually be grabbed by the outfit, just like by the belt hanging on your stomach.)

Alexey, that’s exactly what happened to us too. Exercise, then make the bed, breakfast or - exercise, breakfast, then make the bed.

you need to eat salted fish at night and when you throw open the bed in the morning all the bad guys run into the bathroom to drink, close the door and bang bang bang

I’m amazed at my intuition; I haven’t made my bed since before this article.
And my daughter-in-law also has some kind of premonition, apparently, there will be an article about the dangers of cleaning the apartment.

Our aunt taught us from childhood that the bed is not made only for a prostitute, and this is worse than some tiny ticks. ))))) Therefore, it is better to be on the safe side than under the clock))).

My aunt would be upset now if she learned that those walking around now live better. In general, you have to be a simple ****, others are simply not needed.
