5. Suggest you read this article, especially if you are using chemically

laced sheets..this website offers alternatives.

Your fabric softener or dryer sheets likely include some of the following not-so-snuggly ingredients: alpha-terpineol, benzyl acetate, camphor, benzyl alcohol, limonene, ethyl acetate, pentane, and chloroform. According to the manufacturers' Material Safety Data Sheets, these chemicals have the potential to do things to you such as:

cause central nervous system disorders, headaches, and loss of muscle coordination;
irritate mucous membranes and impair respiratory function;
cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or drowsiness;
cause liver or kidney damage;
cause skin disorders and allergic reactions;
cause cancer.

One of these chemicals even contains the warning, "Do not flush into sewer system," and another appears on the Environmental Protection Agency's hazardous waste list.

People are exposed to the chemicals by breathing the aromatic molecules in the air near the clothes or by absorbing them through the skin via direct contact with the clothes (which, by design, retain some of the fabric softener/dryer sheet molecules

hope this helps.. by the way according to another website, dryer sheets can also cause "excitement" - looks like you are suffering from that symptom.. :evilgrin:

14. use a product such as Seventh Generation in the wash or

using an old towel, soak it in 7th Gen. liquid fabric softener. Wring out well over a clean bucket. Pour the excess back into the bottle and let the towel dry naturally before using. This "sheet" should last some time, is lightly scented and is probably the most practical solution for most people.

the freshness lasts a week in the drawer :)
