Untidy beds may keep us healthy
BBC NEWS: "Failing to make your bed in the morning may actually help keep you healthy, scientists believe. Research suggests that while an unmade bed may look scruffy it is also unappealing to house dust mites thought to cause asthma and other allergies. A Kingston University study discovered the bugs cannot survive in the warm, dry conditions found in an unmade bed."
Yes! I can justify some scruffiness in my life! I haven't made a bed in years. In fact, I don't use sheets. I have a comforter over the mattress and a wonderful Northern Nights blanket (some sort of down feathers) that I use all year 'round. No fuss and just a little bit of muss. Now I need to find a justification for never mopping floors or running the vacuum.
