HEALTH TIPS FOR SLACKERS, PART 2

More good news as there is no need to make your bed after your nap, either. The BBC reports that not bothering to make the bed in the morning might be healthier for us. Research done at Kingston University in England found that dust mites are less likely to live through the day in the warm, dry conditions of an unmade made, but thrive in the cool moistness underneath the sheets and blankets of a properly made bed. And less mites in your bed reduces the chance of developing or aggravating asthma and other respiratory illnesses. The doctor who led this research claimed that “something as simple as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the sheets and mattress so the mites will dehydrate and eventually die.” (BBC)
