Make your bed each morning. Your bedroom will look more organized and you will have a nice bed to lie down in at night.

Gonna have to disagree here. Messy beds are healthier because they get to air and so cool down and dry out. This is good because bacteria, fungi and dust mites like it warm and damp, and they can cause illness, asthma and allergies.

Interesting. I'm not going to stop doing it, but still, interesting.

Lol from the footnotes:

Jokes aside, I’d rather make my bed. Washing sheets regularly can handle sweat and dead skin problems just fine, and mites are going to be there no matter what. I’m more concerned with keeping out larger bugs like house centipedes and stopping my cat from tracking litter on my pillowcase.

Also less chance of spiders when you go to bed

Oh yeah, I've had a few brown recluses crawling around in mine.

We have "white tails". They're little bastards. They don't seem to make a web or nest or home, they just rove around everywhere like assholes.
