Those who love order tend to make their bed after waking up so that the room looks tidy.

However, scientists disagree with this common habit.

Recent research findings have shown that making your bed after waking up is bad for your health.

Dampness

A person sweats a lot during sleep. Particles of sweat, pieces of dead skin and other microbes remain in the bed.

Therefore, a damp bed should dry thoroughly after sleeping. If it is made in such a way, dust mites will quickly multiply there.

Method of dealing with ticks

Making your bed after sleep will help reduce the number of dust mites. They will start to die due to lack of moisture.

To carry out this procedure, it is enough to wait at least 30-40 minutes.

Unpleasant smell

Making your bed immediately after waking up can leave you with an unpleasant smell.

Damp bedding will begin to emit an unpleasant odor.

So in this situation, not wanting to make the bed due to laziness may be the right decision.
