There is another idea that clutter is cognitively exhausting, perhaps a chaotic looking bed is in this category...

To me, I actually find it to be the opposite. I like to read and do work in my bed, so I'm in and out of it a lot. And so I find it to be somewhat cognitively exhausting when I see that it's all tucked in and I have to fidget with my covers and pillows before I jump in.

And aesthetically, an "unmade" bed for me is just when the covers are slightly untucked and the pillows I'm not using are on the floor. I don't find this to be aesthetically troubling at all.

Interesting. I get up every morning with my bed looking like I just had sex with a dozen rabid wild hogs. The bed sheet half off, pillows all over etc. I have no idea why.
