Do you make your bed everyday?

    I always remake my cot in the morning after I arise. I like having it looking tidy and all tucked in so I don't have to fiddle with it at night. Do you make your bed everyday or leave your nest well alone?

    Gawd no. I wake up with just enough time to make myself mildly presentable and leave. The bed can stay as it is until I return to it that night :P

    No

    And I's still trying to verify on google if a lime is an unripened lemon, so this thread has provided me with a much needed distraction from my research.

    Mine always seems to be magically made every night.

    Probably by the same pixies that pick up my laundry every day.

    Don't have time in the morning for that kind of nonsense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 187 ✭✭O-Deazy


    The odd time.. Usually make it right before I get into bed! Seems pointless but I hate getting into a messy bed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen


    the only time my bed is made is the moment after the sheets are changed. until i change the sheets again it stays un-made.

    Everyday without fail - with hospital corners too!

    .

    I personally believe people who do make their beds every morning, have ****ty lives!

    It takes me the guts of 7 hours every night to create the perfect nest of duvet, pillow and blanket. Why would I ruin all that hard work by making the bed after I get up? Leave it as it is, and the next night you can clamber into the most comfortable cocoon of cosiness :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,127 ✭✭✭kjl


    No, I have never made a bed. I buy them fully assembled.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,627 ✭✭✭Lawrence1895


    Depends, if the cat lets me :pac:

    thats just made me want to go to bed now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve


    Nope.
    It has to be reasonably straight for me to sleep properly, but I just sort that out once I get into bed. Duvet stays as I left it until I need it again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,615 ✭✭✭Mr.Plough


    sometimes before a night out in case I pull. Only ever pull when my rooms in sh1t though


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 28,274 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    I will smooth over the duvet and straighten the pillows. That's the extent of it really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60 ✭✭jwilco


    no just pull the covers up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 PinkApples


    My bed only get's made when I change the sheets (which is often to be fair!) or if someone is going to see it.
    Always felt like this was slightly shameful and icky, and that pretty much everyone made their bed every morning. It just never occurs to me in the morning, I barely make it out the door on time.

    This is shocking - just one other person makes their bed in the morning?

    But it's such a small job, and making the bed always makes the bedroom look so much tidier, it's an instant pick-me-up in the morning... Seriously, the rewards far outweigh the efforts, people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,683 ✭✭✭plasmaguy


    No, I have the servants do it.

    ...fresh straw once a week does me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    I make it the odd morning.
    Usually though I just make it at night before getting into it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I've trained my dog to make my bed after he's made his own .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,801 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    My bed is usually reminiscent of a soiled napkin after a seven course banquet with extra gravy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 power123


    yeah i do everyday

    I'd rather have the extra 5 seconds in bed tbh
