Is it true that many guys only wash their bedding a 3 times a year?

Dr Browning says your bedroom should be a "sanctuary" for sleep, and "a wonderful, pleasant place where we feel happy".

I take serious exception to this concept. Most people can't afford to have a room set aside as some sort of sleep fantasy world. There is a global housing crisis going on. Rooms are multi purpose. People live in bedrooms, sleep in living rooms.

I don't see the problem with saying that a bedroom should be a sanctuary for sleep which makes it's occupant feel wonderful and happy.

Just like I think everyone should be able to eat enough food to feel happy and satisfied, even if there is a global food distribution crisis going on.

Sometimes i will go a month without washing my sheets. I have extra sets so i can immediately put on fresh sheets, but it's such a shitty and time consuming chore and I hate it. Laundry is the worst chore, but you reach a point where you have to clean your clothes because you have no clean underwear. Bedding is easier to convince yourself you dont really need to do.

Roughly, I suppose. Between a somewhat dirty job and a hobby of running, I do a lot of laundry as it is. Factor in me being the cook of the house and as politically involved as I can, some stuff is neglected. I'd say 4-5 times a year in my case, though.

I think I once went over a year

Now I typically do it every week, sometimes I’ll put it off for 2 weeks.

I'll admit that's me when I'm depressed. It's one of the easiest things to let go, and I'm the only one who sees my room anyway.
