Must feel great not to have homework for a few months! I remember that.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Where it is nice is when you want to lie down you don't have to untangle the sheets.
You just lie down and the sheets are perfect.
Also its nice to tuck them in at least partially to make it easier to make.
Nice to climb into! I cannot believe OP would rather not take 30-seconds to pull everything straight than crawl into a clusterfuck.
But have you considered not wanting to lose something you toss on the bed?
It looks nice. And an unmade bed looks lazy.
These are two separate reasons and I only subscribe to the former one.
And I do it because I think it looks nice. It makes me happy when things look clean and tidy. Messy, while less work and sometimes more functional, perhaps, still makes me feel worse in my own home. I don't make my side of the bed to impress my wife. In fact, I get kind of annoyed when she doesn't make her side. But she has mostly wonderful qualities besides that, so I'm okay with it.
Either way, you're not exactly complaining that we like to make our beds, but I'm trying to let you understand that it's not always about some kind of principle or to impress, or otherwise useless reason. Sometimes it's just what makes you feel good. 🙂
My SO hates sheet wrinkles so for them it’s not performative.
I’d be fine with an assortment or flat sheets and blankets loosely rolled into a ball that I could both lay inside or on top of.
If you tuck in your bed every morning you have a nice tucked bed with fewer wrinkles at night. Yes I am a princess, yes that is a pea, and so I am making my bed and tucking the edges. Grandma would be proud.
- I rotate when I sleep so if the sheets etc aren't tucked in I'll rotate them off the bed then wake up cold.
- I have dogs and having the comforter covering the entire bed keeps the parts I touch clean and comfortable
I'll go you a step further on point number 1. When i get out of bed, my bedding is still mostly in the position that i slept in. So when i don't make the bed i can go into again with everything mostly how i like it arranged for sleep. If i "make" the bed then later when I'm getting ready for sleep i have to do a bunch of rearranging the bedding to get stuff how i like it positioned. It's massively better to just be able to get right back into my perfect sleep position when it's time for bed
Spiders like all the little folds in a messy bed
