Making the bed is something that's not apparent to everyone. It's not the kind of habit some take with them when they grow up. But it turns out, if you want to change your habits for the better, making your bed would be the start of it all.
“When you leave your bedding in a messy heap, you will tend to muddle through the day until it’s time to fall back in to bed again,” Karen Kingston, Feng Shui and Clutter expert said.
“Making your bed every morning is correlated with better productivity, a greater sense of well-being, and stronger skills at sticking with a budget,” wrote Charles Duhigg in his book, The Power of Habit. “It’s not that a family meal or a tidy bed causes better grades or less frivolous spending. But somehow those initial shifts start chain reactions that help other good habits take hold.”
When the covers are pulled up during the day, less dust and allergens can get between your sheets.
People who made their beds reported to sleep better overall.
