Dust mites are microscopic creatures that thrive in warm, humid environments, and our beds provide the perfect conditions for their growth. As we sleep, our bodies naturally release heat and moisture through sweating and breathing. On top of that, we constantly shed skin cells, which become a primary food source for dust mites. These conditions—combined with the soft, porous nature of mattresses, pillows, and bedding—create an ideal environment for them to flourish. When we make our beds immediately after waking up, we trap the warmth and moisture accumulated during the night beneath the sheets and blankets. The confined heat and humidity provide dust mites with exactly what they need to survive and multiply. Without proper ventilation, the dampness remains for longer, creating a cozy habitat for them to grow. Over time, this leads to higher concentrations of dust mites, which can exacerbate respiratory conditions such as allergies, asthma, and even eczema. Allowing the bed to air out for a while before making it can help reduce moisture levels, making the environment less hospitable for dust mites. The circulation of fresh air helps evaporate the trapped sweat and reduce the heat, slowing down dust mite reproduction. In contrast, regularly making the bed right after getting up can accelerate the build-up of dust mites, as they thrive in the warm, damp microclimate created by closed-off bedding. #allergy
