Most people make the bed for their morning routine. However, a doctor warned that doing so could actually lead to more harm than good.
Dr. Sermed Mezher said that people should leave their beds unmade to prevent the development of dust mites.
According to Dr. Mezher, covering your mattress with sheets and blankets can allow millions of dust mites to live in it.
They can survive in warm environments by feeding off dead skin cells.
He said that people should leave their beds unmade in the morning to prevent the development of dust mites.
Making the bed in the morning helps these creatures reproduce and live.
They can then cause various skin conditions such as allergic skin rashes and nasal congestion.
Even people who are not allergic to them may experience these conditions.
