What is National Make Your Bed Day?
Every year on September 11th, National Make Your Bed Day reminds us of all the benefits that a well-made bed provides each year.

At some point, we all need to sleep. And getting a good night's sleep gives us the opportunity to recharge. Although we can't always get a good night's sleep, we can make some changes to improve our sleep habits. Do you want to get a good night's sleep? According to the National Sleep Foundation, making your bed will help improve your sleep by reducing the amount of tossing, turning, and restlessness we encounter. Reducing all the chaos in the bedroom brings great returns, as well as good health!
Participants in a Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program learn that the sleep environment is a key component of a restful night's sleep. People who make their bed daily more often have a better night's sleep, according to a National Sleep Foundation survey. Fresh sheets, dark and cool rooms, as well as convenient mattresses and pillows can all play a role in mastering sleep comfort.
Besides the ease of sleep, a well-made bed's aesthetic appeal draws us to slumber. A traditionally made bed calls to us, almost like a blank canvas draws an artist to paint. Who wants to face crumpled sheets and twisted blankets at the end of the day? Our bed and bedroom should be a sanctuary. And after our bed is made, very little is expected of us other than to slip between the sheets. We're exhausted, we ask for no more demands from the day, least of all from our bed.
