Sir. You must mend your ways immediately. Here in Sweden we use the sheets
for sailing, including the guys. Do you also have guys in your bed. If not
that would spare your sheets another couple of months maybe.
I bet when you need a preventer guy, you will ask your bedmate to stand up
on deck and lean against the boom, thus keeping it from gybing.
Sleeping, well if we don't sleep on deck where our weight does the most
good, we sleep fully dressed in a hammock. Hence no need to strip the sails
of neither sheets nor guys.

How long can you make your sheets last before having to launder them.

I've got a good system going where they last for months.
What I do is use a full-sized sheet, fold it lengthwise
down the middle and put it in the v-berth. I sleep on
it until it gets kinda salty, oily and yellowish-looking.

Then I turn it over and sleep on it again until that side gets
uncomfortably dirty. Then I unfold it, fold it lengthwise the
other way so the dirty surfaces are inside facing one the other.

Then I repeat the above process until both the new sides are
grubby. Then I take it and turn it end for end and start the process
over again. This makes a total of eight different surfaces to sleep
on and if I can sleep three weeks on each surface then I can
go three whole months between launderings. Pretty good, huh?
