    If those are the advantages then the same advantages could be accomplished by daily filling a cup with water, pouring out the water, drying the glass and putting it back in the cupboard. I’d argue the cup with water is far less effort and yields the same results.

      i don’t know how you can make that comparison when one of those things contributes to a sense of normalcy and the other plainly doesn’t.

        Because normalcy is subjective to each of us. If an unmade bed is normal in my house, then the unmade bed is what contributes to a sense of normalcy for me.

            Right. Theres nothing inherent to the act of making a bed, or having a bed made, that makes it normal. It’s literally only normal if you’re a person that normally does that. If you need a benefit of routine in life, you can choose whatever routine you want!
