I’ve been sleeping on a blanket for a while now, come to think of it…
Emphatically wrong! Sleeping on a bare mattress is crazy. I just use the couch like I do many nights anyway.
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
Nothing I love more than coming upstairs after my day of chores, exhausted, to find a ball of sheets on my bed. THANKS earlier me.
This is why we have two sets and I have a day just for doing the sheets. Sheets off, pillows off, into washing machine, grab the clean sheets from the pile. Sheets do not get folded, that’s a nightmare. There’s just a pile of clean clothes. And the sheets. There’s also like fifty pillow covers they just accumulated somehow.
I too have spares of all the things I hate to clean. It’s gotten to the point where I plan on building a spare house…
That and my current one has mold that if removed, might cause a structural failure.
I have like 4 sets so I can do a full load while still having some on my bed. Have two little cubes to separate flat and fitted sheets.
Granted, I also generally take off the old ones in the morning to force me to put new ones on in the evening. Only like 10-20% of the time do I end up just putting a flat sheet or blanket down to lay on instead.
Everything happens in the morning so I can collapse afterwards for a nap!
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.
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.
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…
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 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
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.
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
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.
this is someone who doesn’t have to go to a laundromat or share a washer with strangers
Have two beds. Clean and remake one when sleeping on the other. Don’t switch until other one is clean.
This is how I end up with one dirty bed I sleep on and one bed buried under clothes (clean it dirty) and other things.
What kind of monster do you have to be to not immediately put on the clean sheets. That’s just lazy, no excuses.
Better than the monster that comes into an ADHD community throwing around the word “lazy”
The neurotypical response.
Lazy, no excuses

Must be American. Most the world air dries their sheets and hence has a second set
I have four sets. It’s always a gamble if any are clean, and even if they are, whether I can find them.
I have at least two new unused sheets, but I have no clue where they’re at.
