I make my bed for several reasons. If I don't make my bed when I get up I'm more liable to fall back asleep. At least if I'm out of bed, and it's made, it's like the day has started and sleep time is OVER. I've also had some incidents with unmade beds, namely things hiding in the bed sheets and then sitting on it, realising "oh pomegranate I just broke my mic/a mirror/a pencil". I like having a neat room too, if I want to relax on my bed and read a book, then I can do so without having to lay on a lumpy surface. I also share my room with the cat half of the day. If the bed isn't neat then he'll whine at me until it's neat enough for him to curl up to sleep on (or in, if it gets cold). It's just more convenient for me to have it neat. I used to be really bad at making beds but now I know why my mother spent 18 years telling me to make it. It's not even hard! It takes what, less than 10 seconds?
Lazy butts.
I can just as easily sit down on something and break it with a made bed, or fall asleep in a made bed, as with an unmade bed. This is more of a guy v. girl thing -- most girls I meet complain about men not making their beds, and they make their beds, and most guys don't care about it at all. It's one of those inconsequential things that divide men and women, a good other example being sports.
