Some days I make my bed in the morning. Some days I don’t make my bed at all. And some days I make my bed right before I get in it to go to sleep. I’m the same happy every day.

It really doesn't matter which one it is. I think it is correlation, but making the bed is a start to having a winning day. When you care about your environment, you care about other things.
"Bed makers are also more likely to like their jobs, own a home, exercise regularly, and feel well rested, whereas non-bed-makers hate their jobs, rent apartments, avoid the gym, and wake up tired."
I rather be on the side that is winning and happier.

I promise you if I start making my bed in the morning I will not get a new job, own a home, start exercising, and feel well rested.
And it does matter. Lets say 100% of the depressed people in this study don't make their beds. Their clinical depression did not come from the fact they didn't make their beds but now the study is quite flawed.

Everyone seems obsessed with self care. Self care is anything that makes you feel good.
Anyone who is honest with themselves will admit making the bed in morning, dusting and tidying up after themselves- in other words self discipline and healthy routines contribute to a sense of well being.
They set you up for a successful day.
Why be lazy about the housekeeping? And kid yourself that it’s fine. You may have jobs, but maybe your honesty and work ethics are less than ideal.

Didn't see the other thread, but I don't make my bed because it grosses me out. If I made it, I'd be unhappier because I'd have a gross bed...

Wow! Your last paragraph is really off base! My housekeeping skills have nothing to do with my honesty and work ethic. How rude of you!

I must suffer from multiple personality disorder based on this study. Some beds I make = I'm happy and some I leave unmade = unhappy. My happiness must fluctuate as I walk from room to room within a three minute span.

No judgment at all just really curious why making your bed grosses you out!
