I just have to pull a duvet up and looking at a mess all day is depressing.
How often are you all walking through your room on a given day? I'm only in the bedroom to sleep. Otherwise the rest of the house is used.
Maybe if it was a studio apartment or something, but that's not going to be most people.
I fall in that tiny apartment gang. Not quite a studio, but I have way too much stuff for the space (I used to live somewhere much larger), so my bedroom has a lot of stuff in it that I interact with on a daily basis, like all my tools, my hobby workbench, main storage closet, etc. I spend a lot of time in my bedroom not sleeping.
I don't make my bed because I'm lazy and it doesn't bother me to see it untidy lol
I really wish I had more space, I would love my bedroom to just be for sleep.
I live in my room. It is big enough for a queen size bed, rocking chair, coffee table holding bed time tv, behind the tv are my 2 desks. GF took the other large room for her computer space, kid has her own room as well. So yeah, from when I get home til I go to sleep I am in there. I cannot see my bed side from my desk due to a huge tv. My room is basically 2 rooms in one
2 bedroom apartment, both bedrooms are also offices.
I'm not looking at it
No. I just use the same one everyday.
- everyday = normal, mundane
- every day = daily
No body else downvote this fella. Their defenitly correct. Bringing that 0 back to a +1. I don't want too effect you're votes just because youre comment.
Nope. By making your bed you actually increase the amount of mites living in it.
This reason. Plus it's stupid
I do, but it takes just 2-3 seconds: I spread the blanket evenly on the whole surface of the bed. That's it.
Reason? Sometimes I lay on the bed during the day and it isn't comfortable with the blanket being wrinkled chaotically.
No.
Explanation: Do you have any idea how tight my schedule in the morning is?
Wake up.
1 minute to start brain just enough for basic motor skills to work.
1 minute to check phone if we found aliens, are in a world war or are in a world war with aliens.
5 minutes to jump out of bed, brush teeth, wear pants.
3 minutes to leave house and reach car.
So if I, for whatever reason, try to make my bed in the morning, I either sleep less or come to work late. Both of which are unacceptable. I leave “making the bed in the morning” to the people who think we think of them being overachievers, but in reality we think of them being asscrumbs.
Only if there are visitors because that's the general tidiness expectation. Generally no because I don't see any usefulness and I hate sisyphean tasks. Also, my mattress probably airs a bit better if it's not fully covered.
Yes, always. Duvet either fully stretched, or folded in half to let the bed freshen up when it's been a warm night. Why ? Because it takes 10 seconds and could well be the only satisfying thing I'll do that day.
I definitely see the logic
I have heard that 30 minutes to an hour is enough to have the blankets turned down, to prevent dust gathering under the sheets. I don’t really know but I stick to that. I roll the sheets down when I get up and make the bed just before I leave.
I hang my sheets to air out
I pull the duvet right back so the mattress can air out. Sometimes I make the bed properly after a few hours, sometimes I don't.
This.
I should do it every day, as soon as I'm out of it; you know, the "meet one goal early each day" thing. But it smells fresher when I let it air out a bit.
No. If I do, the cats will inevitably unmake it playing and making little nest spots with the blankets.
I do because my partner likes having the bed made.
Yes, it makes it cozier when I return to it in the evening
Plus if I don’t my cat will sit on my pillows.
I used to not care, but since having animals and noticing just how much dust and hair accumulates on other surfaces I've started pulling at least the sheets back up to cover the bed and prevent the direct sleeping surface from getting as dirty. I also brush my feet off before climbing into bed and we have a "shoes off at the door" rule to keep from tracking too much dirt into the house.
Nope. I don not even like well made beds where it gets to tight like the say hotels do them. First thing I do is pull at all the bedding till its a nice comfortable mess.
Yep, after breakfast I make the bed. I really need things to be tidy. Plus when it's time to go to bed, I think it's nicer to get into a bed that has been made because the sheets are nice and neat and the pillows are fluffed, rather than bunched up sheets or deflated pillows.
My wife would be pissed if I made the bed at 5 when I leave and she still has almost 2 hours to sleep
Absolutely! I have two cats, and I don’t want their poo paws on the inner sheets.
Plus, my partner and I hang out on the bed often.
I leave the comforter and top sheet pulled back for a couple hours so the mattress can air out, and I pull them up and straighten them out later.
If I don't my doggo will invariably sleep on my pillow
I'm lazy and I still live with my parents. My prospects for having anyone other than them barge into my room is effectively nil. EDIT: I'm 30 y/o
No. I don't like everything being tucked in and tight for the next time I crawl into bed. And I don't like it all flattened, I need contour to get cozy. If I'm a guest or at a hotel then I will out of respect/shame, but for just me, no way.
No. I make my bed in the afternoon, after I finally get out of it. I just feel really good about my space when my bed is neat and pretty.
Nah, that feels like way too much work, for some reason. Though I try to keep things clean. For a time, my bed looked and felt like the one from Disco Elysium.
I make my "bed" every morning and night.
Nope, I'm too out of it at that point
I make a half attempt at straightening it. My roommate uses my bed sometimes because they like my mattress better, so no reason to make it up proper.
No, my partner sleeps later than I do.
I make my half, she fixes the rest. Unless neither of us do it
Never, my wife is always still asleep in it.
Only make it up when I back to my home at the middle of day, never when I woke up
no :( i guess im a bad person woke up late, need to rush to work
so i make my bed, when i back from work,
I do, it only takes a few seconds, and slipping into a well made bed is very satisfying. It also feels cooler (temp wise) than an unmade bed, but that may just be in my head
LOL no, that's my wife's job. :)
Seriously though, she usually makes it at some point in the day. It's not made now, but I bet she does it when she's off work in a few. Before she moved in I only did so when the sheets and comforter turned into a total clusterfuck.
