Messy bed

Make my bed? Are you kidding? I don't even have sheets on my bed! I kick them off no matter what.

Why bother?

The only reason I've started "making" my bed (which just involves pulling the covers up to cover the sheets) is because our dog likes to lie on the sheets and I don't like sleeping with bunch of hair. That being said, I usually don't bother to make my bed otherwise. I've never needed to. I started out with the top bunk to a bunkbed, which if you've never had, it's really hard to put sheets on or make it look decent.
I usually try to make my bed now when I know people are going to be in my room for an extended period of time. Since that hasn't happened yet, I'll stick with not letting the dog worm his way into my sheets.

You don't HAVE to make your bed if you're so crazy busy that your room looks like a hurricane hit it anyways. As long as you make your bed when there are people coming to your house or something, I think it's fine to not really make your bed EVERY DAY.

I don't see the point

You wake up, go through your day, come back, and it's exactly the way you left it. What's the advantage of making your bed?

Why straighten something out which will become messy again in a very short time?

What's the point?

I look at it from a practical standpoint: I am mostly up days, but my girlfriend works nights. There's someone in the bed most of the day, so there's really no reason to make it.

at least every other day.

Sometimes I do...sometimes I don't...it just depends. If I've got company coming over or something then my bed definitely gets made. It really does make it look better and makes the entire area around it look better as well.

no real argument

i dunno, it just seems that making your bed gives off a better appearance. Who really cares about the bacteria and all that stuff, i mean sure. We all want a cleaner area, but half the things we do from day to day is gross as all hell and we just don't ever realize it. Why should this be one of those things that gets scrutinized for the amounts of bacteria it has. Even if we knew how much it had, you think that would stop us from sleeping on it? Half of us fall asleep on the bed with our shoes on, or with the family animal. Making your bed is just a good habit and you can either follow it or not. Almost nobody will ever follow it for the bacteria reasoning

Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Unmade beds don't maintain heat as well as made beds. The lower heat does not facilitate bacteria replication like made beds. While unmade beds look messier, they are almost certainly cleaner.

That, and it's easier to not make my bed.
