Failing to make your bed in the morning may actually help keep you healthy, scientists believe. Research suggests that while an unmade bed is also unappealing house dust mites thought to cause asthma and other allergies.

A Kingston University study discovered the bugs cannot survive in the
conditions found in an unmade bed.

Researcher Dr Stephen Pretlove said: "We know that mites can only survive by taking in water
from the atmosphere.Something as simple as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the
sheets and mattress so the mites will dehydrate and eventually die."

In the next stage of their research, the scientists are testing 36 houses around the United
Kingdom to investigate how people's daily routines affect mite populations.

Any Volunteers????
