Making Beds in the morning: Do you or don't you?

Poll question: Making Beds in the morning: Do you or don't you?

Since I've moved out of my mother's house many many years ago, I've pretty much given up ever making a bed. Sure, once a week I'm pretty faithful to changing the sheets and at that time the bed will get made. Other than that - why make the bed when I'm only going to use it again at the end of the night? Of course when I visit my mother, she's irritated that she has to bug me to do it every morning.

So what's your bed making status

1. Only on occasions!

Otherwise I just make sure nothing is on the floor when I leave the house. As long as the sheets are clean, that's all I need. Speaking of which, laundry time soon! :think:

2. I'm a once a week or company coming over bedmaker....

I just don't see the point.

3. Every single morning.

I can't stand going to bed in an unmade bed. I know, it's weird.

4. I was a bed-making fanatic when I was in the Army.

You could bounce a quarter off those tight sheets and blankets! Since then, I've gotten very lazy. Just seems like a waste of time now.

5. I'm just going to mess it up again!

Why bother?

6. neatness counts

a nice feeling to be in a neat room.

7. Bed?

Bed? What is this 'bed' that you speak of?

16. Spent two years in college

Sleeping on an inflatable air mattress and a sleeping bag. "Rolling out of bed" was just that!

19. I sleep on a couch

My work schedule keeps me up until 2am every night, and my wife wakes up if I crawl into bed...so to give her a full night's sleep, I go to the couch.

8. It has a positive effect on the room's energy.

So if I'm last up, I always make the bed. Unfortunately, my husband usually gets up after me and he's more lax in his bedmaking.

9. I don't sleep in a bed

I hang by my toes from a tree branch.

10. Nope

I am out of bed and working at least 3 hours before my hubby is up. By the time I get home (doing early since we are having triple digit heat) I am hot and sweaty and ready to settle down in the coolness for DU time.

11. That's my spouses job...

Though if I could sleep in the additional 1 1/2 hours she gets, I would gladly take on the job.

12. When The Bed Is Made... The Bedroom Is 90% Cleaned!!!

It's AMAZING at how UNTIDY an unmade bed can make a tidy room appear to be.

Conversely...

A neatly made-up bed can help improve the overall appearance of a room that's mostly untidy.

It only takes 2 minutes to make up a bed (if the sheets are already in place)... so why not do it.

Besides... even though I'm "only going to mess it up again", I do like crawling into a neat bed.

13. I don't my wife does

every damn morning. When I had my own place the bed got made once a week when I changed the sheets.

14. when return from work

am too busy getting out of the house to work in the am, so make it at night when change clothes after work.

15. Always

I feel like a slob otherwise. It certainly makes a difference living in a small studio flat. However, I'm not a neat freak. Vacuuming and dusting tend to get neglected.

Once the subject came up in coversation. A married friend exclaimed, "YOU MAKE YOUR BED!!! Why hasn't someone married you?"

17. I started making my bed everyday

about a year ago.

Wow! What a difference it makes! Try it for just one week and you'll see. It improves my whole frame of mind, and makes the bedroom look so much nicer. A very little effort that reaps a lot of reward.

18. Once a week when the housekeeper comes.

It's just going to get messed up again anyway.
