Why you should NEVER make your bed first thing in the morning, warn sleep experts

Making your bed immediately after waking traps moisture, creating a breeding ground for dust mites and potential mould. Sleep experts advise delaying bed-making for an hour, exposing the mattress to air and opening windows to reduce humidity. Weekly washing of bedding at 60°C is also crucial for a healthier sleep environment.
