How Dirty is Your Bed?

Crumbs, pet hair and stained sheets – over half of Brits admit to sleeping in soiled and cluttered beds, a recent study has discovered.

The research by Crampex, polled 3,000 Brits and found that 26% sleep in dirty bed sheets that are washed only once a month or less.

A further 13% sheepishly confessed to sleeping on dribble stained pillows, with sweaty marks (7%) and unidentified stains (8%).

A tenth of women admit to sleeping in make-up and fake tan-stained bed sheets and 11% of men happily share their bed with their dog/cat.

And it’s not just our hygiene that is lacking when the lights go off, but our inability to completely switch off, the study also discovered.

A whopping 70% of Brits head to bed with their mobile phones, laptops and e-books in tow, and 33% admit that the last thing they do before they fall asleep is check their phone for emails and social network updates.

With habits like these, it’s no surprise that only 35% of Brits manage to get the recommended eight hours a night of sleep, says sleep expert, Dr Neil Stanley.

People are living increasingly cluttered lifestyles and often forget that their beds and bedrooms should be a place of sanctuary, cleanliness and relaxation. Too many of us fall into bed without the time to wind down or prepare, and as a result our beds and bedtime routines are messy, hectic and not conducive to a good night’s sleep.

hahaha! Uncle Rizks.. I look better on this ID. ;)

Gay people are jealous with my previous ID and MODS said that I should complete the Greek Goddess name or else Demeter will curse and will have snow every winter here in Qatar.

As a fellow OCD sufferer I can assure you I will not sleep in a dirty bed..NO WAY. My bed/bedding is always clean and tidy, much like the rest of our home.

I always make sure my bed is neat and clean !

Coz after the hectic day when we jump onto our beds we should feel relaxed not with the tension of cleaning the beds, pillows thron here and there etc...

Beds are meant for a peaceful sleep and to make Love on it in the most relaxed way ! :)
