Do you/can you make your bed in the mornings?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm ashamed to say I can't, and I haven't slept in a tucked in bed (that hasn't been in a motel or relatives place) since my early childhood.
Now that I am a lady of my own household I am finally researching how to do it, hospital corners and all.

I remember my dad once scolding me at my (dearly departed) grandmother's house for not being able to tuck in the bed like she could

So do you sleep in a tucked in bed or not? Can you make the bed yourself?

I can't stand not making the bed. I need everything to be tidy and right and clean.
It's the first thing I do when I wake up.

I just flog a bunch of blankets on my bed and lay down.

Yes.

i can't stand having to make a GD bed! just throw down a flippin' sheet and i'm ready to bust some ZZZZs. the last time i had to make a bed was when i was in uncle sam's army and he made me. actually, even then i seldom made beds [outside of basic/AIT]- i just stuffed all the bedding in my wall locker and left a bare mattress for exhibition.

I usually only do it when I have guests...

i suppose if i actually had guests i'd have to do a helluva lot more than just make my bed.

I dont think i have ever made my bed, if i did it was probably on accident and i was really out of it.

No I cannot make my bed in the morning; I'm not that functional at that time of the day.
I can and do make it at night, though, if I can be bothered. I usually do it when the blankets get annoyingly tangled.
I can do it with hospital corners and everything, but I have enough problems with sequencing and getting distracted/lying down and falling asleep that I usually don't do it that well.

Obsessively I sleep under a duvet with a whole bunch of pillows and I always make my bed in the morning. The duvet has to be straight and the pillows plumped and stacked just right. I even make other people's beds for them if I stay the night. An unmade bed makes me feel really uncomfortable. It's one of my obsessions, I think

I make my bed every morning with vertical hospital corners and arrange the six pillows just-so. I get frustrated if I wake up too late and don't have time to make it. An unmade bed makes me toss and turn too much.

even if i bothered to make my bed, my incessant tossing and turning would unmake it in no time at all. until i started sleeping with my mattress on the floor, i could not count the number of times i'd wake up cold with my blankets tossed on the floor.

I don't - not like anyone else will want to sleep in it or anything

I don't do it often. What's the point of doing it if I'll use the bed again next night?

not at all
