We\u2019ve all been told that one of the foundations of becoming a mature, responsible<\/u><\/a>, well-adjusted adult is making your bed<\/u><\/a> as soon as you wake up. We\u2019re told of the feeling of accomplishment <\/u><\/a>we\u2019ll get each day, the better sleep, the better focus, yadda, yadda, yadda\u2026<\/p>\n

Well, procrastinators rejoice. Because now, anytime someone (likely your more organized better half) tries to remind you of these supposed benefits, kindly guide them to this article. <\/p>\n

Contrary to common wisdom, science suggests that this lauded morning routine actually helps moisture-loving dust mites (you know, the little critters that feast on our flesh and give us the sneezes\u2026with their POOP!<\/u><\/a>) thrive, especially if we\u2019ve sweat through the night. <\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that the average person sweats 500 milliliters per night, naturally, your bed environment is the perfect breeding ground for dust mites in the morning,” Martin Seeley, renowned sleep expert and CEO behind MattressNextDay<\/a>, told Real Simple<\/em><\/em><\/u><\/a>. “That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to leave your bed for at least 30 minutes allowing for better ventilation, which helps disperse moisture and reduces the overall humidity in your bed.”<\/p>\n

Seeley\u2019s not the only expert in the field to suggest this. Back in 2023, London-based GP and social media personality Dr. Sermed Mezher posted a viral TikTok video<\/a> where he also touted the benefits of not making your bed right away.<\/p>\n

@drsermedmezher<\/a> They Feast on Us #makeyourbed<\/a> Dust mites, microscopic organisms that thrive in household dust, are highly sensitive to dry conditions. These minuscule creatures, known for triggering allergies in some individuals, require a certain level of humidity to survive and reproduce. Controlling the moisture levels in your home can play a pivotal role in minimizing dust mite populations and creating a healthier indoor environment. Dust mites absorb water vapor from the air to stay hydrated, making them particularly sensitive to dryness. By maintaining a dry environment, typically with a relative humidity below 50%, it becomes challenging for dust mites to thrive. This is especially crucial in areas where dust mites are prevalent, such as bedding, carpets, and upholstered furniture. Dehumidifiers prove to be effective tools in reducing humidity levels and creating an inhospitable environment for dust mites. Proper ventilation and adequate airflow in living spaces contribute to the overall control of moisture, inhibiting the conditions favorable for dust mite proliferation. Dryness not only hinders dust mite survival but also disrupts their reproductive cycle. By minimizing the availability of water, individuals can mitigate the risk of allergic reactions associated with dust mite infestations. #DustMites<\/a> #IndoorAllergens<\/a> #DryEnvironment<\/a> #HumidityControl<\/a> #HealthyHome<\/a> #AllergyPrevention<\/a> #IndoorAirQuality<\/a> #DehumidifierBenefits<\/a> #RespiratoryHealth<\/a> #HomeMaintenance<\/a> #CleanLiving<\/a> #AllergyControl<\/a> #DustMiteSensitivity<\/a> #HouseholdHygiene<\/a> #HealthyLivingTips<\/a> #EnvironmentalWellness<\/a> #IndoorEnvironmentalQuality<\/a> #AllergyAwareness<\/a> #HomeCareSolutions<\/a> #AsthmaPrevention<\/a> #fyp<\/a> #fyp\u30b7<\/a> #medicine<\/a> \u266c Storytelling – Adriel<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n

\u201cEven if you don\u2019t have a partne
\nr, you\u2019re not sleeping alone, \u201c Mezher quipped, referring to the literal millions<\/em> of dust mites that we share a bed with each night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey survive because of the moisture, so when we make our beds in the morning it actually helps them to live and reproduce so that they can go on and multiply. You may not even know that you\u2019re allergic to them, but they can cause things like nasal congestion or annoying skin rashes that you didn’t even realize were because of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mezher went on to say that this is why it\u2019s \u201cideal\u201d to change the sheets at least once per week, and agreed that leaving the bed unmade for about half an hour (even up to one hour) since dust mites are \u201csurprisingly vulnerable to the air\u201d and will get \u201cstarved\u201d out, is a best practice. In addition, incorporating a dehumidifier and mattress topper wouldn\u2019t be a bad choice either. Of course, nothing can truly make all dust mites go away, but this certainly brings their numbers down. <\/p>\n

So basically, this is your permission slip to roll out of bed, and not even think about making it up again until you\u2019re at least <\/em><\/em>finished with your cup of coffee. For your health! <\/p>\n

Of course, this might not be doable for all folks, and it’s certainly not necessary if you don\u2019t notice any allergy symptoms. But if you are noticing some morning allergies, this could be a potential solution\u2014or just a way to justify laziness. Whichever works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
