You think I can't possibly know? Think again. Because I do.

No, I am not the "Mr. know it all" from your college but let me tell you something. Apart from your partner, you also share your bed with someone else every night. Not one, but millions of them. You might have guessed the answer by now. Yep, I am talking about mites.

Studies have found that your bed holds around 1.5 million dust mites. The bad news does not just end here. Research also shows that a third of your pillow comprises of dead skin, bugs, mites and their faeces. Sorry for breaking it to you but at least now you have something to think about before going to sleep every night. Do not worry; I am not going to leave you stranded. Here are some ways through which you can get rid of these creatures.

1. Wash your bed covers in hot water.

2. Use eucalyptus oil as a laundry detergent.

3. Use mattress that are dust-mite resistant.

4. Make use of extreme temperatures (Both hot and cold) and decrease the humidity in your room.

So, if you do not want to have nightmares about dust mites, make sure that you follow these tips.
