The importance of making your bed in the morning

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Make your damn bed once your feet hit the floor! Perfectly. Even out and tuck the sheets. Same folds, all sides. Do the same with the blanket and smooth it to perfection. Everything aligned. And then be shipshape all day until you climb back into that same bed. Push yourself to where it makes you uneasy. And do it as often as you can. In anything in your life. And seek to do it more often. Always remain humble, open-minded, compassionate and maintain a strong internal fire. Full of thought, curiosity, grief, joy and love. Love more than anything else.

Good advice even if very old.

It seems more relevant now than ever before.

 

[The Tradition]

No.

If you spent just 2 minutes per day making your bed for 60 years, you would have wasted over a month of your life making the bed. I’ll pass.

It's been nice posting here. Good luck to all of you. Fair winds and following seas.

 

[BrianNole777]

I put my comforter over the bed.

Does that count?

Even as a bachelor I made my bed every morning, because I have self respect.

I agree.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

I prefer to let it air out for about an hour before making it.

The Icky Reason You Shouldn’t Make Your Bed As Soon As You Wake Up

Making your bed immediately after waking up could lead to potential health issues, especially if you struggle with asthma.

I let it air out in the am by getting ready then making it. But always made the bed so when the lady or ladies came over pre tbw, room was clean, sheets were clean, bed made and I got laid. 😜

Well shit. When you put it that way…

Admiral McRaven spoke at the memorial service for my no pic wife’s cousin, also an Admiral. On Coronado Island. They were very good friends.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

He is great speaker and solid man. Occasionally I'll take his advice. But you guys need to understand how quickly I'll mess it up the next night.

 

[Colonoscopy]

No.

 

[SeaPA]

I make mine every day. The cats are on it, messing it up, within seconds. At least they are small, when we had a 70 pound dog jumping on it every day it really got messed up

Yes, while I make it every day I do eat breakfast first.

As for bringing in lady friends (I was single until I was 36, so I have some experience here) there is a simple rule: if the bed’s not made, you won’t get laid.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

I put my comforter over the bed.

Does that count?

Yes

If OP's mom soaks the sheets maybe but otherwise nah I'm good.

All day? What am I supposed to do when I harass your mom at noon hour, bend her over the footboard? Not much of a gentleman

You better wash them after that tidal wave.

She always squirted for me... nary a drop actually hit the bed sheets. The walls were another story.

The other thing I learned is that they like bed frames. Not just a mattress on the floor.
