So apparently Americans just “discovered” lüften, — the German practice of airing out your home — and gave it the very dignified name of “house burping.” Germans have been doing this for CENTURIES. A Yale sleep psychologist explains why it actually works:
“You know that feeling when you’ve washed your sheets and they’re so clean and fresh? It’s almost like you’re giving yourself that feeling on a daily basis.”
Spring cannot get here fast enough. My tiny house needs all the fresh air it can get — ready to fling open every window and the front door.
