Why do people make their bed every day?

r/

I don’t really understand why people waste the time to make their bed when they’re just going to unmake it again when it’s time to go to sleep. I only make my bed when I put new sheets on it. I can understand doing it then but not on a daily basis. I’ve always heard “it looks neat to have your bed made, therefore you should”. I get that and could understand that but only if you were going to have guests over who would see it. If it’s just you or just you and your family who are going to see the unmade bed then I don’t see the point of making it every day. Maybe to some people it really does feel good to have the bed made but I personally just don’t care either way and for that reason usually don’t take the time to make it most days.

    Because their wife tells them to.

    Some people like neatness.

    I personally make my bed because the dog sometimes manages to jump on the bed after being outside before I can de-sand him and it’s easier to just have sand on the top sheet that’s on the bed just for that purpose.

    Not that it matters since he makes a nest in there anyway.

    Keeps crumbs and dirt off the sheets where it would feel gritty against your body as you sleep

    Bruh for real I agree with you. I was just talking about this with my mom because she said I’m lazy and you said all my points

    It keeps dust and other stuff out of your sheets. I don’t really make my bed, it doesn’t look neat, but I do pull the covers up over the sheets.

    Pulling the covers and sheet straight and taking out the wrinkles allows your night sweat to dry faster, and not stay damp longer, growing smelly bacteria.

    Surprised no one has said this yet but it helps start the day feeling productive by accomplishing a small task.

    Why do people wipe their asses when they’re just going to take another dump?

    Because they’re not lazy slobs.

    I know this is one of my kids!

    To keep my cats out of the sheets. It doesn’t work because they’re shitheads but that’s the idea.

    It’s an example of self-discipline. Studies have shown that people who make their beds are more confident and have lower stress levels.
