Make Your Bed Day suggests starting the morning with a small win: smooth the duvet and plump the pillows. A tidy bed sets the tone for the day and looks welcoming when you come back at night.
How it is celebrated: people make the bed right after waking, hold friendly household contests for the crispest corners, and teams swap cheeky photos of their bedrooms.
