Not always a waste of time
If I can spend less than 30 seconds in the morning doing something that will keep or make somebody happy, it's completely worth it to me. I don't normally make my bed, but I made it for the first time in 6 months before my mom visited for the holidays yesterday.

I agree. Perhaps the reason a made bed is looked upon favorably is because it is evidence of a disciplined owner. Making your bed may seem unnecessary when you look at it from a practical standpoint, but maybe our mothers nag(ged) us because that small bit of discipline gained from this easy act may translate into something greater at school or in the work force.
And can't you just hear the serious man voice in your head?

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 agree-complete waste of time. If there were some hidden benefits to making ones bed (that it gets rid of the astronomic amounts of germs that accumulates in your bed for instance..apparantly your pillow itself gains several pounds in weight weekly from the skin and dust it agglomerates,) that would be pretty cool. But to my knowledge, making a bed is just that-making a bed.

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.

waste of time.
"white-washed tomb" comes to mind.

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.
