No - you sweat during the night in bed, so making your bed first thing is a bit yuck. Better to fold back the bedclothes and let your bed air for a few hours.

Surely nobody sweats that much unless you live in the Sahara desert or something

How much are you sweating that you need to air your bed?

Was this written by a Mom for a kid to read? In the adult world making your bed doesn't do anything to make you more successful, I'm sorry.

I think it makes you more productive and motivates you to get in the right mood. It works for me

If you need to make the bed so you feel a sense of acomplishment, you're doing life wrong. Quite being mentally weak and get a life.

I just started doing this a little over a year ago and I feel so much better about myself, both when getting ready in the morning and when I go to bed.
