Experts say this is where your sleep and health can be at risk.

According to one study, on average, single men change their sheets only once every four months, married couples change their sheets monthly, and single women fare a little better, changing and cleaning their sheets an average of once every two weeks.

Over time,  bed sheets, blankets and pillows become breeding grounds for dust mites and bacteria, and on top of that, infections can be transmitted through dirty bed sheets.
