No. Mostly because I always get too hot at night and just wind up kicking all the covers off anyway, so it's easier to just have loose covers. Or sometimes I need to add more covers, and have a mess on my hands the following morning. And because nobody ever sees my bed... not even girls... T_T
I make my bed (usually) every day, not because it looks nice or nothing like that, but because I am a very mobile sleeper. When I sleep (if I sleep) I have a tendency to move around... a lot. So my sheets usually end up a mess, and if I want to keep them comfortable enough to survive the month before I change my sheets, then I need to make it in the morning. If I'm in a hurry, I'll say screw it and move on, but only if I'm in a hurry.
I do it because if I don't make then when I go to bed later if I have the cat sitting on the unmade bed then I would have to move it and that makes me feel mean but if it's made then I just get into it and that's that
Not really... I don't bother with it too much.
I wash the sheets and stuff often, but making the bed is pointless.

Well, when I get into bed, I put the sheets back on, but other than that, no. I personally think that unmade and chaotic goes well with the state of the rest of my room.
because undressing it is half the fun!
lol. for me, it's a control thing. if i can start my day with a little order, maybe it will be a good day.

I'm a uni student. My bed is 1/3 of my room (seriously - the bed is against the wall, there's 1.5-2m, then there's a desk and the other wall).
The bed gets used as a chair, desk, dumping ground, table - and it just makes sense for the bed to be made (it's also an incredibly focal point of the room).
Mind you, all I have to do is air the sheets, chuck the duvet on and neaten up the pillows - no sheets to go for the "hospital corners" etc.
But if I *did* have a proper bed like that, I'd still make it - it's just so much nicer to get into a made bed than a messy one.
Now "pointless" is washing the sheets before the girlfriend comes over. Yes, it makes the room smell much better, it's nicer and so on and so on, but, well, do the maths.

Yeah, unless there's someone coming over, it's a complete waste of time. There's no point. As such, the only time I make my bed is when friends come over to my small little dorm room and will sit on the bed to watch a movie. No one wants to sit on my sheets. 
I don't make my bed. i live in a loft and the only people that see it are the people that make it the mess it is. I don't recall when i last changed the sheets but it doesnt really matter to me. I only change them to put on any new bed covers. Got Bart Simpson on right now, taking care of me. (no homo)
The first thing I do when I go to someone's house is see if they've made their bed. If they haven't, I'm out of there!
Lol, but really.. I make my bed about 4-7 days of the week. Not every day because sometimes I'm in more of a rush in the mornings than others.

I like my sheets to be organized. I generally kick in my sleep so if i don't make the bed i have to spend ten or so minutes taking the sheets off and arranging them the way i like them. I'm tired when i go to bed and i don't want to put up with that crap so i make it after i get out of bed in the morning.
Its about comfort for me, not someone making fun of me for a messy bed.
