"Don't Make Your Bed" say Scientists

[felix]

Scientists have said that research suggests that not making your bed in the mornings could lead to a healthier life. A study by Kingston University has found that dust mites don't thrive in an unmade bed because it is less humid than a made one.

[Nhiem]

Hahaha...this is cool. Good thing I haven't been making my bed for years...my mom use to get mad but then she just gave up.

Combine this with the whole "people who constantly tidy their kitchens generally are MORE germ infested" (due to spreading them around) theory, and we can quickly see that the take-out ordering, no dish-washing, clean only when a girl is coming over, bathe only when you can no longer stand your own smell bachelor lifestyle is the healthiest ever!

[gihao]

[rai_dei]

hurray for lazyness!
i think of it this way, why make my bed if i'm gonna go back to sleep in a couple of hours anyways ;)

[techwiz]

Great news! I never do it anyways. :D

[akito925]

hahahahah I'd never make my bed.. cuz you sleep in it everyday and it gets messed up everyday anways.. so why bother wasting my time making my bed its gonna get messed up anways... i only make my bed if there are visitors around. lol.. but rearily.. lol.

[angela44]

tell that to the hospitals!
that way, us student nurses don't have to make beds every morning!
....mitered corners, fitted bed sheets that do not fit.....aiya!

[Powderworker]

I don't make it 90% of mornings, but I usually make it on weekends. Something about a well made bed and tidy house makes me feel better :)

On the topic of laziness (though this is more disgusting than anything), what about those guys who don't' wash after the washroom, because they think (wrongly) that their crotch is the cleanest part of their body?

[Keelie]

i make my bed every morning when i get up, well pull the covers up to make it appear made.

i only do it really good if company is expected.

[angela44]

...for ppl that makes their bed only if they will be expecting company.....
ummm......y would they go up to ur room and look at ur bed....???

[Powderworker]

Angela, because maybe "company" really means a really hot date! Nothing turns me off more than a girl's messy bed :D

[peapz]

[Keigotw]

like folding your blanket and put on the end of the bed?

or have the whole blanket cover your bed? (like what hotels do)

It may always not be the cleanest, but it is one of the least bacteria-infected!

DUDE! Admit it! You're one of the types I was talking about! lol

Any proof to back up your claim? ;)
