Make your bed as soon as you get up. (To add to your first sentence)

• HWR_14 4y ago
  Why on earth would I ever "make" a bed. The only reason I ever do it is if guests are coming over, and on their bed. I mean, unless you mean the process of putting on clean sheets. Obviously, I do that when I wash them (which also obviously isn't every day).

    Make a bed means to move the duvet/top sheet so it covers the whole bed. Reasons that you'd want to do this: hygiene (air doesn't get where you sleep - both a good and bad thing), and design (looks as it should).

      Why on earth would it by hygienic to trap the sweat in the bed as opposed to letting things air dry? Air itself isn't unhygienic. Meanwhile, design is a circular argument. It only "looks as it should" if you think you should make the bed.

        For reference, I thought of those points of the fly so perhaps you or others can think of positive and negative points too. I agree with you, which is why I personally fold down the top half of my bedding. As for design/looks I likely described this wrong. Bedding is designed to be made full on the bed. It's not a circular argument. The design is best when the bed is made as you can see whatever design is on the pillows, sheet, etc. Another reason: it's a small accomplishment that could be a good motivator for your day (especially if you're depressed).

          It's amazing that guy was confused.
