>I can understand why the beds are... shaped up, in a hotel or hospital or barracks. These places need to pass scrutiny of the visitor (reasons differ among visitors, though). At home, those who have visitors in their bedrooms probably feel some need to put things in order in some way. Some people may do it because they like how it looks, or have that habit. But I really can't think of a good reason to do it every day in one's own bedroom.

Exactly. Once I've finished getting ready in the morning, I'm not likely to walk back into the bedroom more than once (after work, to pick up whatever I'm reading) before bedtime.

Interestingly, though, my sister feels the need to make all the beds every day. However, she also has lots of "decor pillows" she piles up on them after making them up.
