What's the point of making your bed every morning?

It looks tidier, and yeah, I prefer getting into bed when it's not all messed up.

I grew up having to always make my bed, and as soon as I moved out on my own I stopped asap. I don't see the point of it either, just feels like a waste of time. I always bunch up my blankets so I can cling to them anyway, so might as well leave them where they are for the next night.
Plus, not like anyone ever goes into my room anyway but even if anyone did it's by far the least messy room in the house (I have two roommates) so ¯\_(ツ

The correct answer is the appeal.
When you are tired as fuck at night which would you rather jump into?
1)
2)
I personally don't make my bed, but absolutely love staying at hotels knowing my bed looks so appealing to jump into at night.
Picture 2 looks like it has a significantly comfier comforter.

Mental health is a benefit, I imagine. Living in a tidy, aesthetically pleasing environment may also help reduce stress.
Discipline is also a benefit as mentioned above.

You shouldn't have feces staining your boxers unless you're not wiping / washing properly. You shouldn't have sweat staining them either, since you should change underwear if they're soaked from a workout.

Because it's the the single most freee thing you can to do improve your quality of life. Shit takes like 2 minutes and you elevate.
Also not being a slob is attractive.

Looks nice when not in use. (Having a guest over)
Also feels better once you get in.

It's nice thing to do in the morning. You have already done something and it's nice to look at. It starts the day even better. People that dont make their bed every morning are just lazy. Also goes to show if you care about appearances. Looks good, feels good.
Also guess what? Not being a slop is attractive, but I guess you dont get many woman over or have never thought about that? It takes less than a Minute and makes you feel better about yourself which is just a great start

I decided when I was like 10 to switch to using a comforter, instead of sheets and blankets. That way, if I want to make it, I just throw the comforter.
But really I never make it at all unless someone is coming over, and even then, I just shut the bedroom door and tell them to stay out.

Do you piss your bed every night, then wash the sheets and make your bed every morning?
There's nothing unclean about an unmade bed.

Its nice to reset the sheets and blankets and helps keep dust out.
It's makes your room look better too.
Always remember that clean and orderly surroundings are beneficial for mental health.

If you do it in the morning is it really still 'freshly' made by the evening? 🤔
You should fold the sheets/duvet back rather than pulling it up/tucking it in. This is to let the bed air. If you don't do this you are creating a lovely home for bed bugs and bacteria. An unmade need would actually be 'Cleaner".

Why would I wake up early to make my bed?

Beds begin to really fucking stink if you don't wash them regularly.

It's easier to sort through clothes you indiscriminately throw on your bed when it's made than when it's not. 👀
You want to be a slob, go for it. I prefer to have some pride in the appearance of my home.
You're just mad because you're holding the L's here.
A made bed is superior, you cannot argue with art.
It's also much nicer to lay on a clean bed during the day for reading.

Nope, because if it's messy you still have to untangle the sheets, rotate it to fit your body and find a good patch to crawl under. Compared to a well made bed where you just lift the side and slide in
I don't care what you say, every time I get in bed there's a new pair of poopy underwear. I don't care it it's "right" or "wrong" but it happens and sometimes all over the sheets as well.

You're a weird guy.
I never tuck in my sheets, but I usually straighten things out. I live with my housemates and my room is where my friends and I usually hang out, so I want them to be able to flop down on it without feeling weird. And sometimes I use my bed as a table to lay things out on when I design posters, so I want it even and neat.
Facts.
Pretty much.

I have a nasty habit of convincing myself to work/study from bed and it will ALWAYS result in me falling asleep and wasting at least 3 hours so I make my bed as a reminder. It also looks nice.

Because it feels shitty to just not give a fuck about making your place as comfortable as you can.
It reminds me of being sad.
