In-Session Morning showers or nighttime showers

This writ comes from shortkut. As such, I expect it to be full of scandals and other things we can say he did wrong later.

Even though I am more of a night shower person, I fully understand the merits of morning showers. I am happy to be an unbiased juror.

For enough money I am capable of being bought, too.

Morning showers are good for my daily life, as it helps get me more awake and ready for the day (also my hair gets all fucked up if i shower at night).

However, night or later showers are great for when camping.

 

[Ants!]

I can see why morning showers have their appeal. They're enjoyable and it would be a terrific way to start the day feeling so fresh!

However I can't help feeling grossed out if I go lay in my bed for eight-ish hours unclean, and wouldn't want to wish that on my partner either.

Morning

 

[a dip goblin]

I'm not a sweaty monster. When I work out I'll also take a second quick shower on the day to clean that mess off.

 

[shortkut]

I shower before bed and keep the room cool at night so I don’t sweat before morning.

If I have an event like a wedding, I’ll take a morning shower so I’m fresh for the event

I also take a post-workout shower, but still take another before bed or even if I haven't sweated that day at all. Your skin still exudes oils and sheds dead cells and grows bacteria and so on.

 

[Nae'blis]

Definitely morning for me. I sweat at night, no matter what I do basically. So for everyone's sake I shower in the mornings.

 

[shortkut]

The only downside to morning showers is the fact that you have to wake up early enough to have time for a morning shower. I am not a morning person

I like early afternoon showers (I work from home and realize this isn't feasible for everyone). Morning showers mean I need to get up earlier, so fuck that, especially since nobody will see me all morning. Night showers means my hair will be wet when I go to bed if I washed it, which is no fun. Night showers are also fine when not washing my hair, though.

I shower again if I got sweaty between my last shower and bedtime. I don't worry about it too much otherwise though. I wash my sheets every week and they're often subjected to sweaty activity anyway, so being clean when I hop into bed feels kinda pointless. I'd rather be freshly clean during the day while I'm interacting with people (I only live with a cat and she doesn't care).

IMO there's no one best option. It depends on your particular circumstances.

All the more reason to shower at night

 

[The Flame]

Used to take showers in the morning when I was in school, but I've always preferred night. Feels good to go to bed clean and comfy. Completely switched over to evening showers once COVID hit so I could wash the sick off of me and change into clean clothes after work, and now it's always the first thing I do whenever I get home from anywhere for the day. Morning showers were nice for waking up and for my hair, but I'm bald with a beard now and have plenty of time to ease myself awake without it. Breakfast and coffee helps.

 

[Quagmire]

I'm bi-showeral

I do both, depends on how tired I am or busy before bed

I'm much more likely to shower at night when it's cold though, hate showering in the morning when it's cold

 

[Benzine]

I also shower after playing sport or when I want to.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

This one is hard.

Night showers/baths make a lot of sense because you hop into bed clean and don't dirty your bed. However, you kinda have to do it like an hour or so before you go to bed because your body temperature needs to reset. It's kinda hard to remember to do that.

Also, morning showers are a great way to wake you up and allow you to feel refreshed for the day.

I've done both.

 

[dimmerwit]

Morning for me. I'm not a morning person but getting up a few minutes earlier is worth it. I only shower outside of that if I exercise, at least in the UK. In Singapore I showered more because it's a country-scale sweatbox.

This is my answer as well.

I don’t go to weddings/don’t get invited, likely because people get mad when I say it’s the leading cause of divorce, so scratch that part. If for whatever reason I end up needing a shower, I’ll take one sooner. The shower at the end of the day helps me relax before bed.

 

[MC74]

In the morning for me. Helps wake me up, plus I like feeling clean.

There is an exception, however. On the nights that I shave my legs, I like to relax and soak in a nice hot bubble bath first.

 

[Jawneh]

Late showers. Often right before bed. Extra points if you just changed sheets on the bed as well. It just feels so much nicer to get into a clean bed after getting freshly clean yourself.

Any sweaty activities or sweaty nights can add showers into other times, but preference is 100% on late ones.

 

[Jawneh]

Also considering early morning ones, I get the not smelling bad portion, but unless you're an inherently sweaty individual simply by existing, you should still be fine the next day. From there, your choice of scent masking takes care of the rest.

And now you have 5-15 minutes more for you I the morning after you wake up. That's arguably the worst part of the day.

Sure, but as the wise Benzine pointed out:

...is very true.

If that's the case, then it shouldn't matter when you shower, right? You'll still be fine when you get into bed.

I do agree freshly washed sheets + freshly cleaned self is a nice feeling.

… throw in a thread count as high as me, and I’m golden. I’m picky about my bed linens.

You can still get dirty from the day without sweating. Also, you are less active when sleeping, so less likely to sweat than when you’re active during the day

 

[dimmerwit]

I content that I find fresh sheets pleasurable even without a shower.

 

[a dip goblin]

Showering at night is bad for me because, as I said earlier, showering in the morning helps wake me up. It does the same thing at night for me and I can't sleep well if I do it too close to bed.

With the one exception being while camping, where I struggle hard to sleep anyway for the most part.

Also our dog sleeps on the bed with us so it's not like it's going to be absurdly clean anyway (though we do wipe her paws at the door, and give her a full pet wipe bath after she rides the bus).
