Many people make their beds as soon as they wake up. This is a common thing, and it may make them feel organized and disciplined, but it may be harmful to health.
Although this may seem illogical, several studies have indicated that making the bed as soon as you wake up may put some people at risk of developing a serious condition.
According to American research, beds made immediately after getting up can be a breeding ground for dust mites, which can lead to asthma attacks and allergies. This is because these little creatures tend to live in warm, humid climates, just like your bed after waking up.
To avoid injury, Martin Seeley, sleep expert at MattressNextDay, suggests people shouldn’t make their bed within the first 30 minutes of waking up.
He said: “Leaving your bed unmade for a period of time exposes it to natural sunlight. Natural sunlight can play a role in preventing the accumulation of dust mites and has disinfectant properties that can kill some bacteria and mites, reducing potential health risks.”
Those who are allergic to dust mites may notice symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
If you have asthma and are allergic to dust mites, it can trigger an asthma attack, according to the UK lung and asthma charity.
