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.
Counter argument: A tidy looking room makes me happier. Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time, ergo, making your bed is not wasted time.
If your house is the reflection of your mental state, then the other way around is also true.
I don’t think your home is a reflection of your mental state…
looks at home, it is trash
Oh. Maybe you’re right.
I understand the tidy looking bit, in the rest of my room you won’t find dust, cobwebs, or dirty clothes. I just never make my bed. Most people I know think that is weird. Partners are generally unimpressed (too lazy to make his bed).
I won’t try to change your mind, that would be hypocritical of me…you just have to find a partner who cares equally.
Or DOESN’T care equally.
I remember an ex got mad one time because I “never make the bed, but still get to enjoy it”.
I said “What? Why do you keep making the bed?”
She said “because it looks nice!”
Ok…
Care equally and doesn’t care equally is the same.
1 =1 and -1=-1 it’s still equal.
Ugh. Now we’re getting MATH involved? Alright, hold on…carry the 2…adjust for inflation…and done. 2+2=potato.
…wait a second.
