I make my kids. I don't care you live here with me, you will be tidy. I'm white trash they don't need help to become hoarders.
DinosaursCameFromSpace
Duvet, that's all you need.
Imhappyhere
Yep, I do. I'm a unicorn.
jennisnguyening
A kid might. But an adult probably doesn't make the bed EVERY morning, as in 100%. I do it 0% of the time, my friend does it 30% of the time
motionNocean
I make the bed every night before I get in it. There's nothing like a made bed but who has time for that shit in the am, not me.
belly0621
Ditto, at bedtime. It ain't happening in the morning. Just nope...
tradbowclaw
I make mine daily. One blanket. Easy. Start the day with structure and some form of control in my life. Its actually a big sleeping bag.
tradbowclaw
I do. Its the only thing that helps me start each day without giving up.
polkadotmonkey
Make the bed for company or sheets change, only. Otherwise, I just pull up the sheets to make it flat
polkadotmonkey
... so I don't lose my underwear while dressing.
bigdog1983
I do it every day. Hate to come back from work and see a total mess on the bed
littlesteelpanda
I make my bed. Then sleep on top of all the covers with a separate blanket. Then it's always made! :)
IWouldLikeToGetOffThisRideNowPlease
Did this as a kid once haha. My mom got wise to it pretty early though and made me use the real bed covers.
littlesteelpanda
I live out of home! No rules for me! :)
erincpotterart
Me!
Imwaytoobadwithchoosingusernames
I do it every morning. Mainly because it helps me not to just get back into bed when I come home. So it helps me be productive.
rebelhead
ONCE PER WEEK
SomeoneElseHasMyUsername
As a dog owner, yes I do, I have too or I'll have sand all over the bed at night
Sophie9
Same here
Tifandi
I do, and then I read articles saying that it's actually cleaner to leave the bed unmade all day.. can't win
HandsomeJack19
I only make my bed on weekends, before I go out, just in case I bring a woman home with me. Hey! It so DOES happen.
kylania
I make my bed whenever I change my sheets. Other than that it's always justs struggling to climb in under wherever the mound of sheets is.
TyffiBoo
Same
dwightfromtheoffice
I read mound of cheese and got really jealous. I need more coffee before imguring.
SenorObvious
So like 4 times a year?
Josherman17
I am a once a week sheet washer.
BigBlueBurd
Get yourself a duvet. You'll thank me some time after you get it.
TyffiBoo
Same
dancfontaine
Rock on!
LordOsiris
Me too! Or I'll half-ass make it if everything gets too tangled to get comfortable.
spitfire
Never.
stormsvale
I do, I'm in college so it doubles as an extra reading spot/ sofa.It also makes the room look bigger and more welcoming to others
Simgeek
Every day. If I missed, I'd have to make it before I went to bed at night.
sgtkool
Google "Navy SEAL Texas graduation speech".
BlackberryCobbler
i dont move when i sleep. Like at all. Flip corner back, get out,flip corner into place, bed made Not a wrinkle. Its weird but very handy
colesparky
Lucky you. I usually toss like crazy.
thecoolestcat
I agree I sleep in a curled position and just flip the cover over and back and maybe rearrange the pillows
Skelletalmellons
I am like that. Bf on the other hand somehow folds all the covers on top of me and untucks even the fitted sheet.
punketta
Omg, my BF does this! Like wraps himself in a blanket burrito. And I'm left out in the cold. Drives me nuts
BlackberryCobbler
Lol that would drive me crazy lo
Skelletalmellons
It did at first but now I realize I get double the blanket layers and never having tugofwar over a sheet when I'm cold.
BrowseBrowseBrowse
Not even a roll or a flip? Or to toss blanket off cause to hot? Or leave one leg out? I find this impossible
BlackberryCobbler
i sleep on my right side... i put a glass of water on the bed behind me once as a test and when i woke up.. still there.
BlackberryCobbler
If my back is out, or i'm sick, i move around because im not comfortable... but other than that... like a corpse.
Pyrotha
Psychologically it keeps me sane as part of my routine. Cause it is really nice to come home to order
Un1cornsw4g
IM NO MYTH
68WmedicMelpenny
Military life made it a habit for me for a long time.
ImmortalAzrael
Funny, it did the opposite for me.
68WmedicMelpenny
I don't any longer. I did for a good while tho
BilldeTurlock
I am the messiest human being upon the earth, but an unmade bed offends me. Might be cuz I live in a one-room apt.
mgeemyboy
Nope. I pull the doona to the foot of the ged to allow the bed it to air during the day.
mgeemyboy
*Bed not ged, sheesh.
kanihaznaiph
Not sure why u were DV'ed, sunlight & letting the bed dry out kills dust mites & such, so pulling back the blankets is more sanitary. UV4U+1
AnotherImgurianEnglishman
Real talk: Making the bed every morning can help your psychology because the first thing you do is accomplish something
thunderstriker01
Buuuuuullllllllllshit.
kevinjameshunt
Yup! Tim Ferriss talked about this and now I do it every morning. Start each day by taking control and bringing order to something.
b3n9
Real talk: Maling your bed every morning traps heat and moisture in your bedding creating perfect conditions for dust mites.
frecklefarten
Yes! I started doing this a couple of months ago. I don't feel so overwhelmed with housework during the day
kanihaznaiph
But ur also creating an ideal environment for dust mites & such
pillagebeforeyouburn
Thank you! I leave mine open to air and be exposed to sunshine for at least a few hours.
BenPaulGuy
My accomplishment is breakfast and then I feel sad cause fat.
TheUnknownPioneerInHolmesianMindPalace
True dat.
FlightRisk3154
Dragging my sleepy ass out of bed into the shower at 6AM is as close to an accomplishment as I cant get
o4fuxxake
Hitting the snooze button is accomplishment enough for one day.

Niddhoger
Its a useless pat on the back. You'll just un-make it every night, ain't no reason to make more work for yourself.
AnotherImgurianEnglishman
Doesn't matter, most endeavours are useless, but the small act of changing a state of disorder into order can create small dopamine response
SnPbRosinCore
Sometimes making the bed is the only thing I manage to do right in a day.
Niddhoger
But my point is: is it actually "right," or just "more bullshit you create for yourself."
SnPbRosinCore
At this point, I don't really fucking care. It keeps me from being a total piece of shit.
sirbenedictjbreen
If by "make the bed" you mean fling the doona over it, then yes.
squeakyleeks
Doona?
sirbenedictjbreen
Sorry, a doona is an upside down duvet. More accurately, it's what we call duvets in Australia.
squeakyleeks
Straya seems to have its own language.
Phayzzer
I do. Made it just this morning, extra useless pillows and all. It's nice to get into a nicely made bed each night.
AwkwardKeming
We do too but just to keep the asshole cat from tracking grit in there.
pres2pond
I just make it right before I get in.
Chrizzlephaa
Same here!!
imonlyjewISH
Never have to make your bed if you never get out of it
areallybadfarrier
Every morning! Wife and I do it together.
fricklenani
I like the messy beds, then all my pillows are in the appropriate places on each side for my legs and I just have to jump in and cover up.
Sockpuppetmastermind
It makes me feel better when I do too
bobbio86
So then make it at night before you get in
bobbio86
So then make it at night before you get in
eruditic
I think the establishment of order adds to your Chi
MnightShariaLaw
Well bed bugs will have it easy walking over your bed. I always make a huge mountain out of pillows and a blanket
Phayzzer
I have been making may bed for 30+ years, no bed bugs. Clean your sheets
ThisMeansALot
I make my bed while I'm still sleeping in it. Makes it easier
GraysonSwigert
Truth.
iPretend
Useless pillows actually induce rage in me. I hate dealing with them.
DolphuRaymondWasAPimp
Phayzzer
I make it while the shower heats up. There are 24 hours in a day choose what you want. I like to have a nice bed to get into
heavylister
It's nicer not having to remove a dozen "useless pillows" before getting in. Lift duvet, slide under, done.
HappySlapHappy
yeah but it increases the likelihood for bed based parasitic occurrences.
JonDoe297
Ditto. Apparently making it in the morning is a good way to boost productivity BC you start the day off with an accomplishment
downvoteacct
Had a college professor tell us once, make your bed each day, that way you know you have at least accomplished one thing that day.
notacoldwarkid
It also prevents me from napping (which can be good and/or bad for productivity)
FreeFall711
Oh I agree. Nothing more satisfying than a well made bed... except perhaps getting into a well made bed
comehomefransbrauder
Me too. Love pulling those covers back and diving right in to a nicely made bed.
TheThoroughbredOfSinBadHorse
Yep, plus we have a cat and we don't want for all over the sheets.
TheThoroughbredOfSinBadHorse
Fur*
TheSunMotherfukerDoYouPraiseIt
Same here...mostly because when I wake up it looks like a tornado hit my bed
Phayzzer
Same here. I destroy the bed
ticktockbent
Making your bed encourages dust mites and other bed bugs to move in.
Phayzzer
Clean your fucking sheets
Niddhoger
Wouldn't have to clean them so often if you left it messy... no seriously, you trap the sweat in and it gets stanky faster.
Phayzzer
I clean my sheets twice a week. Also I make my bed after I come back from riding, so they are aired out for a solid 5 hours each day
UsernameOnlyAvailableToImgurPremiumUsers
That's pretty hard nice shit
Beelsebooob
You realise that making your bed makes it less hygienic, right? Beds need time to air off and let the sweat out.
probshouldntsayitbut
Actually making your bed is less healthy: https://www.google.com/amp/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5601809ce4b08820d91a3e8f/amp?client=safari
Beelsebooob
Yeh... that's what I said...
probshouldntsayitbut
Sorry, i should have not said actually, mucked it up.
SuckAnElf
It doesn't need that long. Let it air out while you take a shower and make it when you're done.
Phayzzer
Beelsebooob
Yeh, cleaning sheets regularly doesn't magically mean you don't sweat over night ;)
Phayzzer
No it doesn't... that's why you wash your sheets. How is this a foreign thing?
krissykross
Same, I don't want to struggle with a bunched up mess when I'm trying to go to sleep.
nickyaddrison
i hate getting into an overly made bed. The first thing i do is make a bunched up mess.
Nize426
I don't make the bed, but I don't mess it up either. I flip the cover to get out, and flip it back.
Phayzzer
I make a disaster of the bed too. I've scared my husband once cause he didn't realise I was still in bed under the pile of sheets
JeSuisUnPiano
This makes my heart happy
imnottryingtobesarcastic
I sleep very still. So in the mornings all my sheets and pillows are in the same position as when it's made. Just flip covers back and done!
TrdBkt
I don't want to struggle with a bunched up mess when I'm still tired and have to go to work
krissykross
To each their own. I wake up a few hours before work anyway.
TrdBkt
Fair enough!
imnottryingtobesarcastic
If you don't mind me asking, what do you do in those few hours? I don't rush, but I hate having down time in the mornings before work
krissykross
Have a couple cups of tea, watch an episode of a show, get things tidy so I can relax after work.
Rogahar
Given that my first act in bed is to wriggle myself into a big cushiony burrito, it seems kind of redundant.
SuckAnElf
For me it's more about my mental state during the day. I've found it helps me feel less depressed, same as getting dressed even if not 1/2
SuckAnElf
Leaving the house at all during the day. Makes me feel like I'm doing something and it starts me off of the right foot for the day 2/2
Rogahar
To each their own :)
SuckAnElf
Oh yeah! My husband is like you haha. It's just a matter of personal preference I was just sharing why I like to make my bed each morning :)
