I started the sheets poll a long time ago to settle a debate between Fernando and I regarding how often we should change our sheets. 49% of people said they change them every week. Another 49% say they change them around a monthish. 7% change them when they smell funny (awesome), and 14% may not even use sheets. Hmmm.
Turns out the poll didn't really solve anything. The more I thought about it, the more difficult it was to get accurate pole results. I specified that the sheets were on a non sexually active bed. I mean, if there was a bunch of sperm or other awesome guck slopped over my bed, I'd certainly be doing laundry more often. However, what if someone sweats a lot? Sheds a lot of hair? Masturbates? Has a pet with gross outdoor paws curl up on the bed? Does the person sleep naked or in PJs? Does the person shower before bed or in the morning? Does the person eat and drink in bed? All these things factor into how often someone may change his or her sheets.
So I guess Fernando and I will never know precisely how often sheets should be changed.
