While I suggest changing them regularly, I have a different reasoning behind sheets and towels. I shower when I get up and frequently before bed if I feel icky or my spouse invites me. So frequency of sheets goes down because anything it transfers gets washed off in the shower. The towel is used after the shower so anything it transfers lasts all day. That said, after the move in I adopted my spouse's routine which is much more lax and changes towels every few days. On one hand I now have to track towel wash cycles consciously, on the other hand I'm not doing 3 times the towels so it equals out.

Though now that you have me thinking about it, I would absolutely change sheets daily if it were easier to do so...

Pretty common practice in places that are humid or close to the equator.

Not always, but frequently. Depending on how sticky I get.
