    First, make your bed

    Some hail it as a life-changing step, others, a complete waste of precious time.


    Do you make your bed every day?

    I have friends who buy into that program. They claim it makes them more productive. I think people who are pre-wired to that nonsense get anxious about untidiness generally so this makes a good excuse for them to be anal retentive. Being generally sloppy, I could care less. Pete likes a made bed because it starts the nights sheet battle even Stephen.

    I do.  It's about the only domestic thing I do,   I'm messy as all get out generally, but it feels nicer to crawl into a made bed at night and getting to sleep can be a struggle for me and this seems to help.    It kinda does make me set for the day, too.  But full disclosure -it's incredibly easy and quick because I have a duvet. If it was sheets and stuff .....not gonna happen  the pay-off for effort seems worth it

    I haven't made my bed since I was a child.

    When ya make yer bed, that means yer done with it for the day.

    I'm not that grown-up yet.  The day will only piss me off so much, before "Fukkit, I'm going to bed."

    Fair, although I am done with it for the day.  i am not remotely interested in that thing.  It's a thief of time.

    First sleep in your bed before making it.

    So people get confused.  Try to make it with their bed.

    Re: First, make your bed

    I literally made my bed.
    But I only stretch the sheets flat on it when I take them out of the drier.

    Re: First, make your bed

    I am quite surprised by these results, I have to admit.  But now I think about it, I have other reasons I make my bed that might not be an issue for all.  My cats are allowed in there in the day and sleep on my bed.  I am allergic to their fur, so I pull the duvet over the pillow as well as the sheets so I am not touching any bit they've slept on when I sleep.  But I still like like it looks nice and flat and straight when I crawl in at night

    Re: First, make your bed

    I've slept on a waterbed for 50 years. Obviously, I like it.
    Making it every day conserves the heat.
    For the last few years, I have had an indoor cat and hopefully the combined thickness of the bedding exceeds the length of her claws.
    Otherwise? I don't want to think about it.

    Re: First, make your bed

    I pull the blankets back up because we have dogs and I want them to stay on the outside. But I'm also not a violent sleeper--the bed stays pretty much made without any effort.
