Clean sheets and fluffed pillows can make your bed seem more inviting, and a comfortable bed can help you get better sleep. Our beds should feel the same as us, inviting, happy and comfortable.
Get up stretch and make your bed. Pulling back the duvet and opening the windows to let the fresh air in not only gets your bed ready for the night. It says a lot about your time mangerment.
Your bed is the place of rest, to let go of the day. Maybe dream, read a book in peace, share the most special talks and moments with the ones we love, and yes of course the second bed to the kids.
It Starts Your Day Off Right
It might be a small accomplishment, but making the bed sets the tone for the entire day. Perhaps no one has extolled this virtue of making the bed each morning as well as Naval Admiral William McRaven, the commander of U.S. Special Operations. In a 2014 commencement speech at the University of Texas at Austin, Admiral McRaven shared his thoughts on the matter.
“If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another," he said. "By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter.”
These are powerful words, and you don't have to be able to bounce a coin off your taut sheets to benefit from them.
