Make your bed! or Bädda!, in Swedish, must be the most common phrase said by moms to their kids every morning in Swedish households.
If you don't make your bed as soon as you get up you are considered lazy and sloppy in our society and from a health perspective it's not the right thing to do when it comes to asthma and allergies.
We've all heard about, but don't want to think about, house dust mites and they love the warm, damp conditions we create with our warm body.
Researcher Dr Stephen Pretlove said:
"We know that mites can only survive by taking in water from the atmosphere using small glands on the outside of their body. 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."
