Here's What's Inside Your Dirty Sheets
Рет қаралды 133,227
5 жыл бұрынEach night, your body sheds around 15 million skin cells. If you never wash your sheets, they build up and provide food for hundreds of thousands of dust mites. Fungi and bacteria will also take root. In fact, one study found that your pillowcase has more bacteria than your toilet seat.

Watching with the bugs also
@aaronwilson9261 5 жыл бұрын
@@Shadowmusab well to me it looks like the bugs have been exaggerated. Did you notice the back and white video looked like a copy and paste trick and then put on a loop out of sync with each other. Other than that they only had one other bug that was in colour and crawling about. They just tiled that one and put it all over the screen. Not saying don't wash your sheets every week but this guy seems pretty paranoid. Besides if your always in a sterile environment your immune system would get pretty weak.

My mother changed our pillow cases every day. The rest once a week, if we are not sick ( if someone was sick, she would change sheets every day, if sweating, twice or even three times a day) I thought that was too much, but after seeing this video... I might start doing what she used to do. Love you mom, you were always right.

Also equally true, despite how dirty your sheets were prior to watching the video, you likely haven't gotten sick or died from them before, and likely won't so in the future. There are microbiomes living in your beds, in your clothes, in your shower, in your kitchens, in your hair, on your skin, inside your very being... They're part of your lives, and its great to practice decent hygiene, but don't scare yourself everytime you hear a comparison to a toilet seat. You can't get rid of those things, only control them, and they're part of your lives forever Like how do you think the past 500,000 of human history slept and its only until just now that sheets of all things pose a legitimate risk to your health? Hmm okay 🙄

Sleeping with clean hair on a dirty pillow case. Why? Also, every day we are exposed to so much yuckiness in the air. And, it transfer onto your face, eyes, and sinuses. I'm not recommending washing your hair everyday. I don't. But, thoroughly brush out your hair (upside down) and use a blow dryer to help remove some of the stuff. I change my pillowcases every other night. Just buy a ton of them and have them on hand. And, I surface clean my pillows once a month. Oh, and sheets. I have like 4 sets of sheets. Seriously, it's really not that hard to change them!!!

An average human sleeps for about 6-9 hours a day. What makes you think your pores doesn't produce any oils and your body/face doesn't shed any dead skin onto your sheets during those 6-9 hours? Bathing more especiallu before sleep will help, but it won't completely negate the problem.
