Another Reason To Not Make Your Bed

{ November 18, 2007 }

Unless there will always be visitors to my bedroom, it is logical enough for me to not make my bed. The point is, you will always have to mess it up again at night, so why do extra work? If you are always being nagged for not making your bed, there is another one more excuse you can use—it’s healthier to not make your bed.

A Kingston University study discovered the bugs cannot survive in the warm, dry conditions found in an unmade bed. The average bed could be home to up to 1.5 million house dust mites. The bugs, which are less than a millimetre long, feed on scales of human skin and produce allergens which are easily inhaled during sleep. The warm, damp conditions created in an occupied bed are ideal for the creatures, but they are less likely to thrive when moisture is in shorter supply.

“you will always have to mess it up again at night, so why do extra work” – those were my exact words during my younger days why I never bother making my bed. it frustrates my mom. The actual truth was, I was lazy.

I make my bed now because I choose to be tidy.

“you will always have to mess it up again at night, so why do extra work”
Yeah, this is what I always though when I was young.

Still haven’t changed though.
Bedroom’s a mess!

Sometimes it is hard to find things that we misplaced in the room. -_- ;;

Cheers!

I have always tell this ‘accuse’ to my mum from being make up my bed. The result is, my mum reply “Why you wash your dishes(plates/bowl) even though you going to use it tonight?” “Why you wash your clothes even though you wear it everyday?”

Anything accuse to beat this reply? x.x

That’s easy. :P

“Why you wash your dishes(plates/bowl) even though you going to use it tonight?”
Dirty, cockroach, mouse, flies etc will come and feast on the remainders. Maggots will spawn, etc etc.

“Why you wash your clothes even though you wear it everyday?”
Dirty, smelly, etc almost the same reason as above.

Haha! Go launch your counter attack!
Cheers!

Deimos Tel`Arin…making your bed doesn’t make it more sanitary. What a stupid argument you have made.
