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.
When the pandemic hit, I went from never, ever working from home to being at home as close 100% of the time as you can get (we even had all our groceries delivered). It would have been very easy for me to just roll out of bed and turn on the computer in the morning, but I decided it was probably better for my mental health to continue getting up, showering, shaving, getting dressed (even if just in sweats or shorts), and making the bed. I was in that mode for almost two years before a partial return to on-site work.
I don’t think that’s necessary for everyone, but I do think it helped me keep a good mental state during a tough time. So I’d think this is broadly true: for some people there’s not much point and for others it’s an important mental health practice.
