Many people underestimate how strongly their sleeping environment affects overall health. A bed should be a sanctuary—a place of rest and rejuvenation. Yet surprisingly common habits, such as sleeping on unwashed sheets, stained mattresses, or dirty pillows, can create conditions favorable to unwanted pests, including cockroaches.
