Most couples don't have sex from sheer exhaustion!

As a married man I wasn't surprised to see that the #1 reason couples don't have sex is just sheer exhaustion. At the end of the day, after I clean the kitchen, load the dishwasher, read the kids their bedtime story, load up the dryer, and give my daughter her required 5 hugs and kisses I am tired. I've been married for 13 years and intimate lovemaking takes a backseat to sleep quite often.

Luckily I don't have insomnia. I'm very active, I play tennis, I'm a runner, and I'm a Crossfitter. My body hits the bed and I'm out within a minute typically. I wanted to share this info graphic, some great info!!

Bed Bugs vs Dust Mites - what you need to know!

The key to remember when dealing with these is two things:
Bed bugs = bad
Dust Mites = good

Dust mites just eat the dead skin cells we leave behind. I have no problem with that.

Bed bugs on the other hand are evil. They are like microscopic mosqitoes that suck your blood in the middle of the night. The easiest way to kill these in a mattress is just to buy a plastic full zip cover and they eventually die. After being encased in a plastic mattress cover for a few days they stop moving and "look" lifless BUT it actually can take up to 12 months for them to die completely and never come back again. Here's a great inforgraphic on the little critters.
