For some, making the bed first thing in the morning seems pointless—especially when energy is already stretched by more pressing tasks like getting dressed, fixing breakfast, or rushing to catch an early commute. For others, it’s a meaningful habit, a simple ritual that helps establish order and sets the mood for a productive day.
As per psychologist Leticia Martín Enjuto, this seemingly trivial choice—whether you neatly fold the sheets or leave them rumpled—can actually disclose a lot about your personality, mindset, and emotional patterns. She thinks that “behind every simple act lies a story.” Something as ordinary as not making your bed may carry psychological meanings linked to how you view structure, control, and self-expression.
