Experts are formal, this has a huge advantage.
It is an immutable ritual. Since our childhood, we are told to make our bed in the morning when you get up. However, more and more experts agree that it would be better to leave your bed undone after getting up. It may seem counter-intuitive, but there is a scientific reason why you should abandon this morning habit. It is simply a matter of health!
Make your bed immediately after alarm clock creates an environment conducive to mites. These tiny arachnids love heat and humidity left by our body during the night. By covering sheets and covers too quickly, this humidity is trapped, thus promoting their proliferation. However, mites are responsible for allergies and respiratory problems in many people.
On average, a bed is home to around two million mites. No one escapes it, all beds have it, but certain habits can considerably reduce their number. Scientists from the University of Kingston in London have studied under what conditions the animals reproduce particularly quickly. One of the main factors is humidity. Leaving the defeated bed allows you to ventilate it well. Some experts even advise to leave the sheet and the duvet folded throughout the day to help dry up moisture. The exposure of sheets to the air and in the light causes dehydration of mites and can even kill them.
Contrary to popular belief, a defeated bed is not necessarily synonymous with negligence, but rather better hygiene. This significantly reduces the quantity of mites, but also bacteria. But beware, you should know that you can never completely ban these little microscopic animals from your bed. Over time, huge amounts of skin squams accumulate there, constituting the main food of mites. But with a few tips, their number can at least be reduced.
The best remedy for mites is fresh air. Even better than not make the bed at all, you can extend your sheets, duvets and blankets to ventilate them outside. Even if you don’t do it every day, doing it once a week can significantly reduce the number of mites. It is also useful to wash the duvet covers regularly, ideally once a week at 60 degrees, but also the duvet and the pillows from time to time. The mattress must also be ventilated. Once a year, you can clean it in depth to reduce the number of mites inside.
