Until all of the air is out and you can roll it up.
A day should be sufficient. I turn mine inside out and put it in the clothes dryer on air fluff for at least 15 minutes. Add a dryer sheet for fragrance. It will freshen it and restore loft to the bag.
basically as long as necessary. won’t need too much airing after a weekend trip. the dryer sheet idea is a good one. you can also put it straight into your drier with a tennis ball to re-fluff it before you store it back again.
The best way to take care of a sleeping bag (especially nicer bags) is actually to leave them unrolled whenever possible. Personally, I hang my sleeping bags up, and only roll them up when I’m putting them into a stuff sack for a camping/backpacking trip. The reason for this is because, when rolled up, sleeping bags will naturally compress. However, this compression is undesirable, as it can take away from the effectiveness of the filling and insulation, and may result in the bag never quite fluffing the way it used to when it was nice and new.
My recommendation would be to first make sure your bag is dry (allow it to sit in the sun if you find it necessary, but not for too long), and then either find a convenient, out-of-the-way place to hang it, or even LIGHTLY stuff it underneath something. However, if you find that you must stuff it or roll it tightly, then make sure to take it out every once in a while to fluff and air, rather than leaving it there indefinitely or until the next trip. Good luck!
If you live in a dry climate, you may not need to spread-out your sleeping bag for more than an hour. It may have already been aired-out in your tent. The issue primarily concerns moisture vapor, which is detrimental to the insulating effects of sleeping bag materials. Unless soaked by a flood in a rainstorm, which may happen, you should not need to run your bag through a dryer on a low setting. If you always wear layers of clothing when sleeping in your tent, then you are not going to need to wash away much oil, skin, bacteria, mites. However, you may want to run the bag through the wash on a delicate cycle periodically. I store my bags ready-to-use in a loose compression bag. Then, only when I am heading up a trail, I compress the bags for compact carrying, crushing the insulating materials as briefly as possible. When considering the cleaning of a sleeping bag, you should probably use the same standards that you personally set for washing and airing winter coats. Much of the decision reflects your personal hygiene criteria.

Just keep it in sunshine for couple of hours to get rid of bacterias, moisture or any sort of odor. It is the best solution if the sky is clear over there.
