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.
I usually grab my blanket and have it around me as I work in my home office, saves on heating bills during the winter. So there technically isn’t anything to make usually.
Anybody else make the bed right before sleeping in it? I make my bed everyday, but only immediately before turning my lights off and going to sleep. My bed in unmade most of the time.
Unless you find value in cleanliness, which I do.
I leave sheets open until after my shower. They’ve had a chance to air dry any moisture and don’t stink as quickly. Then I just pull the bedding up: almost like fixed but for a mere two seconds of effort
If you’re soaking your sheets in sweat it’s probably a good idea to hang them instead of just leaving them there. They’ll dry and air out more effectively. This comes from someone who washes all their bedding weekly though, it’s kind of a must after switching to showering at night. If I go to bed clean I want to wake up clean, and going to bed clean in a clean bed has done wonders for my sleep.
