Having a messy bed is more hygienic than making it every day-Research claims

Are you one of those who leaves your bed messy? You now have a valid reason to. According to research from Kingston University, making your bed in the morning traps the dust mites which gather at night and therefore provide a breeding ground for allergens.

The research noted that , at night, we may become warm and sweaty leaving scales of our skin on the sheets,enabling an environment in which dust mites thrive.So by making our beds in the morning, we are unknowingly fact trapping the microscopic bugs in their ideal environment apparently allowing the bed to house up to 1.5 million of the creatures.

But by leaving your bed untidy, those mites are exposed to air and sunlight, which causes them to become dehydrated and die out.
