Make Your Bed Day


Sept. 11 is Make Your Bed Day! While the origins of this annual "holiday" are unknown, a worn out mom, housewife or hotel maid probably came up with the idea!

When you bounce out of bed each morning, do you immediately make your bed or leave it alone or wait for someone else to make it for you? Believe it or not, making your bed every day can increase your overall happiness? Check out a few of the benefits you can get by making your bed on a daily basis.

When you bounce out of bed each morning, do you immediately make your bed or leave it alone or wait for someone else to make it for you? Believe it or not, making your bed every day can increase your overall happiness?

  • Not only is making the bed a quick and simple “chore," but you will feel like you’ve accomplished something right off the bat. You’ve started the day off in a productive way the minute your feet touch the ground!

  • Plus, your bedroom will look nice and less cluttered.

  • And for all you single people out there. Men who make their beds may just be more attractive to women - they are "clean, responsible, and willing to contribute to the household chores."

One word of advice though. While making the bed is a wonderful habit to have, it probably is not a good idea to make the bed with the hubby or wife still in it!

  • Did you know some folks can make a bed so perfectly, a coin will bounce on it?
