Make your bed Meaning in English
expression
Definition
To arrange the sheets, blanket, and pillows on a bed neatly after getting up. It can also mean to prepare your bed for sleeping.
Usage & Nuances
Used in daily routines, especially by parents or in hotels. Common mistake: confusing with 'make up your bed' (similar meaning but more formal/old-fashioned). As an idiom ('you made your bed, now lie in it'), it means you must deal with the results of your actions.
