You reboot more often than once per week? I sure don't. I'm at 16 days right now on my macOS Sierra installation, and I think the last time I rebooted was because I updated the operating system.

Just checked my MacBook Pro...45 days. And yeah, that was likely for some updates.

Open Terminal.app from Spotlight or Applications/Utilities, then type "uptime" (without quotes) and press Return.

Then again with quotes also works, as long as you balance them.
