Many people mistake dust mites, which cannot be seen by the naked, with bed bugs which certainly.

Adult bedbugs are reddy-brown, about a quarter of an inch in size and swollen after a feed of human blood.

Bed bugs typically feed on our blood every week or so, appearing in the hours before dawn and finding their target by sniffing the exhaled carbon dioxide from human breath and when close in on their target, they sense infra red heat.

In the absence of a suitable human host to dine on they can lie in a period of dormancy for periods of up to a year or more.

Pest control companies are also now reporting cases of transport related bed bug infestations on transport of all kinds so a simple journey home on an infested tube or train can be enough to spread the infestation to your own home.

Diet and physical fitness play a huge role in how you relax as well.

Keep your food intake to fresh fruit and vegetables, chicken, fish and try to stay away from the sugary and processed foods at all costs. Alcohol in the evening will also break up sleeping patterns.

Daily exercise is also key to getting a good night’s sleep and at least one hour of working out without stopping is necessary at least five days a week and six is better. Try power walking every morning before getting ready for work. The goal should be to walk at least 3 miles in one hour and it will take about a month to reach this unless you are already in great shape. The ultimate scenario is to do this twice a day the second being after work.

All of the above is just another way of saying, “Live a good and clean life and you will feel better, get the rest and relaxation you need and probably knock off a few pounds in the process”.
