Washing the bed linen and a tasty low carb breakfast

Well, you can't say there isn't variety on this blog. Whether it be articles and studies about diabetes and living the low carb lifestyle, to a wide variety of recipe suggestions, and even wildlife photography - there is variety - and they do say 'variety is the spice of life'.

But how about this one?

I don't think you can beat fresh sheets on the bed, and apparently 78% of us say they are more excited to go to bed if they have fresh-smelling sheets.

You may have seen recent reports that "experts have revealed how often you should wash your sheets and you’re probably not cleaning them as often as you should be.

There’s nothing like fresh sheets but we can be lazy when it comes to actually getting around to washing our bed linen.

Experts at the Sleep Foundation have revealed that we should all be washing our bed sheets once a week.

The foundation also revealed that most people only actually wash their bed linen every other week.

In some cases, you should be washing your sheets even more often than once a week.

If you have asthma or allergies, for example, it can be worth washing your sheets more frequently than this to see if this improves your symptoms.

Plus, if you sleep with a pet in your bed, you ought to be cleaning your sheets every three or four days.

If you eat in your bed, go to bed without showering, or sleep naked, you should also clean your sheets more than once a week.

But why is it so important to keep your sheets clean? Well, dirt, dead skin cells, body oils and sweat build up on bed linen over time.

Most importantly, however, dust mites - including their carcasses and faecal matter - can build up in your bed. They’re common in most homes, surviving purely off dead skin cells, and can cause irritation of the skin as well as making allergy symptoms worse -  - so it’s definitely worthwhile to keep your sheets clean and enjoy bedtime to the fullest.
