Cultural Note
In Spain, changing the sábanas weekly is standard, and many households iron their sheets for extra crispness. The expression 'pegársele las sábanas' (for the sheets to stick to you) means to oversleep — a common occurrence given Spain's late-night culture. Cotton sheets are preferred due to the warm climate.
