Shift Worker Fatigue – Why You Don’t Have To Feel Guilty About Not Making Your Bed!

If you experience shift worker fatigue then you know that your sleep or lack of it, has a lot to do with you feeling tired all of the time. But have you ever thought how your bed may be preventing you from getting a good night's sleep?

As kids growing up most of us are taught to make our beds the moment we get up. Now you would think that this is a good thing right?

Well actually it's not and I'll explain why.

You see you really shouldn't make your bed as soon as you get up, because dust mites thrive in warm and damp environments and by making your bed - you're giving them exactly what they need to have a party and multiply.

Now if you've ever eaten food in bed and left bread crumbs on your sheets, then you know it's not fun sleeping on itchy sheets!

So add in some microscopic critters (aka Bed Bugs) - and you're not going to get a very good night's sleep at all.

You should simply follow the golden rule of - 'Leaving Your Bed Uncovered.'

Because when you leave your bed uncovered and let in lots of fresh air and sunshine into your bedroom, the number of dust mites in your bed will rapidly decrease.

Now for most people, this is going to be hard to do - except for those lazy people out there who don't make their beds at all ... and you know who you are!!

So what this means is that you are going to have to resist the urge to make your bed as soon as you get up. Now if you're a super clean and neat person this is going to be hard for you to do.

But hang in there because if you give your bed a chance to breathe and get some fresh air, it will help you to sleep more soundly and therefore assist with you with shift worker fatigue.

Not only will your bed feel so much better when you jump back into it, but it will also help reduce any allergies and asthma as well.

So if you're a shift worker then don't feel guilty about not making your bed as soon as you get up. You're actually doing it a big favour which is going to help you to get a much better night's sleep anyway!
