The only time I make my bed is when I change the sheets. That’s once a week, and I only make it then because my mother instilled it in me.

Not making it everyday saves time but more importantly airs everything out and deprives bacteria of moisture. That, makes it less stinky and lets my bedding last longer.

I sleep hot, it doesn’t matter what the ambient temperature is. Vermont in winter? Heating is off in my bedroom, and I have a leg out.

Edit: seems like this isn’t unpopular. It was a random thought that popped in my head. Everyone I have explained this to thinks it’s weird.

I understand the tidy thing, everything else in my bedroom is quite tidy, my life really, with the notable exception of my thought processes.

    I have been going through a prolonged breakup and have been very depressed, so it has been hard to be motivated to do anything. Making my bed every morning is a task I set myself to accomplish and it makes me feel like I can set a task and complete it. It also has the double benefit of allowing me to end my day with something that looks nice and not as disheveled as I feel.

      I do similar things, you will never find unwashed dishes, my towel is hung up, the fridge is clean. The bed doesn’t bother me at all because I see it as a positive thing.
