        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'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.
