Poll: To Make the Bed or Not to Make the Bed

[archvile93]

I do not, as it takes up my time and provides no payoff of any kind.

I smooth out the covers so it looks tidy, but I don't make the bed. It's rather pointless because at some point later on in the day, I usually end up back in bed because it is cold outside, and with student housing there are two types of temperature in my room. Cold, or bloody hot. So I end up in bed quite a lot, working and watching DVD's

I sleep in the floor, so I picked the Troll option. Seemed the best fit. Not really a bed to be made.

I don't recall seeing the OP around before, but I like them ^_^ I've never bothered making the bed. What am I, the Queen?

 

[dark metal prince]

do you live down south or any other place where bed bugs are an issue? there is some evidence that an unmade bed creates a less hospitable environment for bed bugs.

Here's the website:

You shouldn't make the bed. Really. At least not right after you've got up from there, and who waits for a couple hours before making the bed?

A doctor specialized in allergies told me this, and when you think of it, it's actually quite simple: You leave a bit of moisture and bacteria to the sheets when you sleep there. Then you seal it. Makes for a great breeding ground for the tiniest bugs, bacteria and whatnot. Leaving the bed with more like an exploded look, the bed can dry and get some air.

I do what this guy does!

I got so tired of this when I was in the military service. We did it a bit differently though, and the day cover had this checkers-type (or whatever you call it) pattern on it for increased difficulty. Good times.

Why thank you :>

 

[Koroviev]

I don't make the bed, but I do smooth the covers out. So it looks tidyish, but not pristine. I figure, the only people who are going to see it are me and people who really shouldn't care whether it's made, so I'll save myself a few minutes each day (they add up) and leave it alone.

...someone should do that math on that XD

1 minute a day x 365 days is 6 hours a year.

Hmm...one minute. With what level of confidence do you figure that? <__<

 

[Fetzenfisch]

It just stays like i leave it. Like my whole bedroom and my desk.

 

[Koroviev]

there is too much pale man in this thread.

and no. its only going to be messed up again tonite, so whats the point?

I can't help it if my avatar's distinctive ;P

...Well, I guess I could, but I can't be bothered.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

Only if there is a practical benefit of doing so.

 

[Death on Trapezoids]

I don't make my bed.
I have a limited number of heartbeats in this existence, and I will be damned if I waste them doing something I don't want to!

But in all seriousness, what's the point besides satisfying society and/or mild OCD?

 

[GeorgW]

I only do it if it's really needed. It's not that annoying, I'm just very busy in the morning and usually go to my bed as soon as I get home.

 

[Betancore]

Does it matter? No one comes into my room, and I don't like the way my bed looks when it's all made up nicely. Besides, what's the point when I'm just going to mess it up again? It's such a hassle, getting into a bed that's been made.

 

[Tasachan]

I almost never make my bed, because I end up un-tucking everything when I climb in anyway. I like my feet sticking out and my blankets piled around me. My husband prefers the same.
The only time I make my bed is if someone is coming over to visit any they'll be coming into my room.

 

[Boxes_Of_Boxes]

I would, but I tend to be wearing my blanket a lot, so theres nothing to make the bed with!
