Making your bed every day is useless.

Nobody's gonna see it and you can't use it without messing it up.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I used to think that way, and then in the past year I just changed. Now I make my bed every morning and I'm happier. I don't know why.

I think it is just the clearest indicator that I've transitioned from aging to old. I made it 55 years thinking making the bed was a waste of time, but in my 56th year my attitude suddenly and without warning flipped.

Well then I have 20 more years of not making my bed ahead of me

You're not imaging it. How Making Your Bed Can Improve Your Mood.

Ah young one I was once like you until I realised, that by not making the bed, your fitted sheet ends up absorbing more dust and moisture during the day and you have to change them more frequently. For truly optimal laziness it's best to at least throw the quilt over.

I leave my bedding open in the morning specifically to let the moisture dry out

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How and why is your bed absorbing moisture during the day? I get if you're saying sweat from sleeping in it, but otherwise I'm confused.

Personally, I use a very thin, non-fitted sheet as my blanket, so I don't think any of the bed is really more or less impacted than others on having stuff piled on top of it.

[–] PsychoNot@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I think humidity of your climate plays a role in this between regions.

I was fully in the “don’t make your bed, let it air out” camp, then I realized the dogs slept on the unmade bed during the day and I inhaled dog hair at night. I now make the bed, though I am constitutionally against it.

[–] tunetardis@piefed.ca 3 points 4 days ago

Cat hair was what did it for me.

I feel so bad to live in a place which is not well tide up. My bed needs to be made
