Making my bed comes second nature to me .
As I love to slip into a freshly made bed....I make my bed everytime , even if I take several short naps a day, I'll make my bed between each rest.... silly ...I know
:)

the bed gets made everyday in the master bedroom. the kids room is another story. and if someone sleeps on the couch it may or may not get cleaned up depending on the day. My son is the biggest offender. He makes his bed on the day he changes his sheets and never again for the rest of the week. Most likely the sheets and blanket are not tucked in anymore because of how he sleeps. The girls make theirs more on the weekend and when they aren't half asleep before school. Today one out of two beds in their room is made.

Thats a good idea. We never make our bed but now that I am working days like my fiance we actually get up at the same time so we could make the bed together. I will try that.

Hmmm, you amuse me ~smiles~ When I was going through boot camp making your bed...to their specific standards...was just one more thing they used to break a recruit down in order to make one conform to the requirements of becoming...no longer an individual...but a fully functioning tool. An integral part of a unit.

My bed was oft times made as an example of how it's done correctly...still I like breathe at night and while others would wiggle themselves into their beds at night...trying to not to undo their perfect hospital corners...I would toss my bed apart, throw the blankets on the floor and just use a sheet for a blanket.

It's no wonder I got so good at making my bed so tight the corporal could literally bounce a quarter off of it. Still, once through boot camp and stationed to this beautiful Island in Lotus Land North I was given an honourable discharge, as a non conformist.

I am glad that making your bed in the morning works for you, Amuseme, just thought I'd put another perspective to military life and bed making. I could go into shoe and combat boot shining, peeling potatoes or shining garbage cans with Brasso and steel wool till 4 in the A frik'n M...but that's just more of my non conformist activity rewards.

Waking up gives me a sense of accomplishment and I rarely spend more than a minute awake in my bed wondering if it's going to be a great day or a disaster. I'm still an up 'n at'm kinda guy...even if I've got nothing important to do.

Sleep tight. };-)>

I should have added that those creatures called teenagers don't count. As long as their not leaving dirty plates I say close the door and save your strength! The article I read was about the consequences Navy Seals were dealt for the most minor infractions. They were gruesome. To make it even tougher there was a bell and they were encourage constantly to ring it so they could leave and go home, as in quit. We too have a "bell" and it is tempting at times to "ring it", but like a formidable soldier we carry on because we know that we have a purpose, and if we haven't found it yet we have faith to know that we will.

Yikes...I never make my bed! But it's on a platform about 4 feet off the ground, so it's really hard to get to. That's my excuse :-)

Making my bed first thing in the morning gives me a sense of structure and keeps me from crawling back in there! I have a hard time sleeping in an unmade bed always have.

I like a made bed & I do it myself, most days but not everyday. Sometimes, if I am out of sorts or hurting too much I don't do it. But I usually do it anyway because a made bed automatically makes a mesy room look clean.

I never made my kids make their beds after they were teens. If they wanted their rooms to be nice they would do it. They did not want their friends to see a messy room.

Two of my sons are now in the army, My youngest sleeps on his sleeping bag on an empty bunk so his bed stays perfect. He just has to put his pillow back & stuff the sleeping bag. The perfect system, he tells me. :-)

My bed is always made, and I lie on top of it and cover up with a blanket...guess I'm just weird. I hate to mess it up and it just seems easier to fold up a blanket in the mornings. lol

I almost never make my bed :) not so much out of laziness or because I'm too busy, but because my cats are often still sound asleep when I'm getting up. They happily make little nests out of my covers and will return to it through out the day...

I basically forced myself to make my bed until it became like second nature. It's a good habit. It's nice to walk in to my bedroom with a made bed.

I can't stand the mess of an unmade bed so i make it or it drives me crazy!!! Plus it is nicer to get in a nicely made bed.

Its always nice to think of a made up bed either for a nap or at the next bedtime :)

Yeah... I know making the bed is important. I just don't like to do it. I slept on the floor for ~2 years, and during that time "making the bed" just meant "throwing everything in the closet". So I really got out of the habit.

I'll try to be better about it, though. Starting off the day with a sense of accomplishment, even if I am getting up at 4pm like I did today. :P
