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/

MODERATORS
- 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
… said someone who isn’t interested in having a relationship?
It makes it more comfortable to sleep in.
I have absolutely no idea where that comes from. Do you all sleep like Dracula? My bedding is usually tussled about within minutes of me laying in bed. Blankets balled up for knee support, one leg sticking out for temperature venting. I couldn't imagine sliding under the covers and laying perfectly supine like Vladimir Lenin.
Lol, it's not about "laying perfectly supine", it's about what you are laying on. Yes, you will probably get a couple of small wrinkles by just getting in bed and getting comfortable, but if you never make your bed you will be laying on hundreds of very big wrinkles. To me the comfort level of laying in a made bed and a super messy one is night and day. If you can't tell a difference, consider yourself lucky.
Pro tip: instead of balling up your blankets for knee support, keep an extra pillow on your bed specifically for that purpose. I have an old "king size" pillow I use that supports me from balls to ankles. It has helped my back tremendously.

I make my bed because my dog likes to lie in my bed during the day and this keeps the majority of his hair/dirt/dander off my sheets and on top of an easily washable blanket. Also, it prevents lots of wrinkles and lumps in the sheets/blankets when sleeping. Both bother me and my sensory issues, especially because I sleep in the buff and my skin is sensitive to whatever is directly touching it. I can't even leave my room in the morning without making my bed because it feels wrong in my head, I don't make it for anyone but myself
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.
OP has never heard of dogs.

You fold your clothes after you clean them? Why, your clothes are just going to get wrinkled anyway.
You eat your food without blending it all up in a blender first? Why, your stomach mixes it all up anyway.
You take a shower? Why, you're just going to get dirty again anyway.
You wash your hands after you shit? Why, you're just going to shit again the next day.
You make slippery slope arguments? Why, you can just frame them as unpopular opinions.
Must feel great not to have homework for a few months! I remember that.
Spiders like all the little folds in a messy bed
