The discomfort I feel at the thought of sleeping on a bare matress ensures that I will put the sheet on. Of course, only just before going to sleep when I want to do nothing more but flop onto my bed after staying up too long again
Or…now hear me out…get a 2nd set of sheets. Straight swap. One on…one off. Then you can forget about the “off” set, until it’s time to change the sheets again.
I was already assuming they did have a second set. Taking off the dirty ones and putting on the clean ones is bloody well hard enough. Are people out there really trying to turn around a single set in a day? That’s just setting yourself up to fail, I don’t care how neurotypical you think you are.
I now have dirty sheets and damp sheets that have been in the dryer for a week.
What now?
Wait, there are people who only one set of sheets? To me it sounds like having one set of clothes
I have seen this before it’s US americans, they all have dryers and can wash and dry in the same day.
I would never, I have sheet that are cozier for winter etc, also I dry on a clothesline
I also have a dryer, but I have like 3 or 4 sets of sheets. They don’t have to buy the fancy ones, just buy the $30 set from IKEA.
Oh that IS what she meant? she really has only one set of sheets? I was having trouble working out how this was ever a problem for her.
have two sheets, put the new one on right after taking the old one off. put the old one in the laundry pile and wash it with your clothes.
You need a backup too in case of spills and so you’re not at the mercy of executive dysfunction when it comes time to replace one of them.
True, however my dysfunction is around not washing the sheets as often as i should so I just kind of accept small stains. Don’t really have a process for that yet. I’ve got other more pressing chores to learn to manage atm so it will probably be a while before I figure that out.
Then I’d have to learn the black magic that is folding a fitted sheet AND actually fold them every time I change my bed/wash the old set.
Can’t just leave clean laundry in a pile either… That’s just going to bother me; are they clean or not? If it’s clean, it’s gotta be put away neatly, but It’s gonna have to stay in the dryer until I work up that kind of courage.
Nope, just gonna fight myself to put them back on the bed once they’re clean…
For the fitted sheet, what I do is roll it up instead of folding, then shove it inside the matching pillowcase. When it’s time to change sheets it makes it super easy to grab and have the whole fresh set, no fussing around.
Now, actually putting them ON the bed? Still can be a struggle lol
I have a shelf in one of my closets where I just mindlessly shove all my sheets, blankets, pillow cases, etc. It actually works surprisingly better than you’d expect; I’ve never had any issues finding things
The trick is to swap it after washing so that you never have to fold it and it just lives in the laundry hamper
I mitigate this by having bins for clean laundry. I have underclothes in one, outer clothes in another, and linens in a third in my closet. If folding is a strong need for you that’s probably not going to work but it does keep the dryer clear (mostly) so reduces friction for doing new laundry.
I tell my spouse I can change the sheets in seconds, and pre-swap the sheets to accomplish it. This makes it a “fun” thing, that my brain is more than happy to focus on because it’s “fun”. It also happens with just the right frequency that it doesn’t become boring.
However, if my spouse ever found out the trick (or told me they did) the magic would be lost.
I don’t really get what you mean by preswapping, like you changed the sheets on a spare duvet and just swapped out the entire duvet, but then what about the sheets on the mattress? Or do you just mean you do the entire task of changing the bedsheets unobserved and then tell your wife you’re about to change them and announce that you’ve finished a few seconds later?
Pretty much the second.
Alright that’s fucking hilarious
Thank you for seeing me.
I find it best to do it as a side-to-do from the main one to minimise the chance of even getting focused on it (the tricky part of that is being ok/not get discouraged with letting the sheets sit in the washer or dryer for hours bcs now the process is inefficient & I can do better, I mean I obviously can’t, but theoretically).
I also have a few extra beddings to “just change the sheets” or even just to focus my mind on different materials. It helps sometimes.
And the overwhelming urge to take a nap before the dryer is done rocking.
I eventually got a second bed set just to help me out on that front
But unfortunately they’ve got a different thread count so they have a different skin feel then the old ones so I absolutely can’t mix the sheets with the other ones because the difference is too jarring

Remember when I cared? Because I don’t.
I’ve heard you can minimize risk by having multiple fitted sheets on your bed at once. Just strip off the top sheet, add to laundry hamper, sleep on the newly revealed clean sheet.
I don’t do that because I don’t use sheets. I sleep in a hammock and just swap between two hammocks when they need washing.
Hear me out: no bed sheets, only blanket on air matress

Dog got sick on the sheet and the dryer is broken. I’ve slept on that bare ass mattress for two days so far. Dryer is supposed to be replaced today but I’ll be to drained after 10 hours at work to do wash.
Executive disfunction has prevented me from getting another sheet before this happened.
Just wash the pillowcases and not the sheets

This post motivated me to purchase another set.
