Why do people shower in the morning?

[CodeRedR51]

Evening because it helps me get to sleep and I don't have to worry about anything in the morning but getting up, packing my lunch and heading out the door. I usually give myself ~30 minutes from waking up to leaving the house.

I shower at night usually.

Although the main argument for showering in the morning is because you sweat at night.

I want to introduce you guys to a fantastic new technology that we have developed called "air conditioning". It allows you to keep your house cool at night so that you don't soak your bedsheets with sweat and wake up disgusting. The way it works, is that you set the "air conditioning" system to the temperature that you want, and it actually keeps your house that temperature. It's a phenomenal technology that I recommend for each of you. As soon as you get an "air conditioning" unit, like the one pictured below, you'll find that showering at night is a much better way to stay clean than showering in the morning.

A/C like Danoff says.

Or buy a fan.

You still sweat. You sweat in the winter too.

I want the one in the picture to be put in every house in the world, so we can enjoy a burning house every second. But seriously, having AC in the house adds up electrical bill, and it does not always give the desired result. On a hot humid night, it will make our skin felt a bit sticky in the morning due to condensation from the humid air.

I'm a teenager hence I sweat like a pig in a bacon factory. Thus I need to shower twice a day otherwise I smell like a tramp.

Another reason I would add to your list of acceptable reasons would be to wake yourself up, nothing I have found yet wakes you up quite as well as a cold shower in the morning.

I live in Florida. AC stays on 73. Sweating in my sleep is a response hard-coded into my genes. It is a protective mechanism to mitigate the opportunity for a spark or static charge to ignite a grease fire that would immolate me in my sleep when I'm most vulnerable.

Meh. I live in Phoenix and we rarely use the A/C at night. I just don't cover up and run a fan. Works fine for me.

 

[Omnis]

That's because Phoenix is cold at night. In south florida, the humidity index is 1 percentage point away from the air turning to water.

Sadly that's true...

Far from cold.

Edit: Our low tonight - 80.

Shower at night man so you are not sleeping in you're own filth. END

Just saying it works for some people. (me)

This.

[CTznOfTime]

Shower wakes me up in the morning and makes me feel nice and clean for the coming day...

Yes

I don't care about getting clean. I shower in the morning to wake myself up.

Cold shower > Coffee

Yes

I always do it, and having a shower in the morning always feels good to wake you up.

Yes

There's the feeling of freshness. Also you might not want to smell bad at work.

Yes

Nope, none of this is even remotely convincing.

In the evening (when you're filthy from the day), you can shower yourself clean, get into your clean sheets (because you're always clean when you get in them), put your head on a clean pillow case (because you're always clean when you lay on it), and stay clean all night. When you wake up in the morning you're almost as clean as when you went to bed... and you've been clean all night.

Showering in the evening before bed will not leave you smelling bad when you wake up.

How is that not convincing enough ?! For some, coffee is enough to wake them up...

For me, and most of us here it would seem, shower is the one thing that pulls their heads out of bed...
For me, i would not leave the house without a shower...

I want to be clean, fresh and ready to confront what the day has in store for me...


... but after the war, once all the damage has been done...
I would also take a shower at night before going to bed... make it much more comfy to cuddle up, because that's another war too...

Unless the day has been light, and i haven't broken any sweat, then i sometimes would skip shower at the end of the day if i consider myself clean enough to jump straight to bed...
... or if i like the sweat i have work up to have by the end of the day, then i can leave it for my honey to enjoy it!


In summary, for me:
- Shower in the morning is a must !
- Shower in the evening is optional, but preferred.

I guess you're probably right, I started showering at night a bit this year, mostly because I'm a lazy 🤬 and I can't wake up in the morning. I think I'll give it a try this week, and see how it goes.

Really? I sweat a little but then again I don't do anything too strenuous to sweat badly throughout the day. I shower everyday, but the guitarist in my band doesn't shower for nearly two or sometimes three (although very rarely) days at a time which means Band Practice stinks half the time, mind you I'm glad we're not in America as when I was over there, I was literally standing in a puddle of my own man-water. I shower in the evening purely because I can't be arsed to get up in the morning.

What's 88 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius anyways? I forget the conversion. I don't mind hot showers.

 

[Zenith]

I shower in the morning. I find that it's better to be more awake for the first few hours of my day than it is to sleep squeaky clean.

Obviously I'll take a shower before bed if I need to clean off from that day.

Then I'll take a shower in the morning after I wake up. It makes me feel like a man to show mother-earth who's the boss.

The second shower would be about a minute long in that case. Don't you look at me that way.

 

[Moglet]

I shower in the morning because I wake up feeling dirty if I shower at night, even with completely clean bedsheets. My feet especially sweat a lot during the night. As for air conditioning; a/c in buildings is a real luxury over here; we very very rarely have it in any interior space that's not a car.

 

[Hollow]

I don't necessarily shower in the morning, but I have a 12 hour rule. I have to shower every 12 hours, that means if I shower at 9am, then I shower at 9pm again. That's twice a day, and if there's something important that I need to look good for, then I shower before getting ready for that because my hair looks better when I do it right out of the shower.

 

[Moglet]

My hair gets really greasy if I don't wash it in the morning and it becomes too limp to style at the same time which is never a good thing.

You can try coloring your hair, that makes it dry and gives you a bit of poofiness (Is that even a word?). You don't have to change your hair color, just color it the same as your natural hair, and it gets less greasy and limp.


Or you can just shower.

 

[Tom]

Wow, it's taken me a whole hour to shower, change my bed sheets and get into bed.

I prefer simply showering in the morning as it wakes me up nicely too. 👍

 

[kennylmao]

When I was in school, everyone I know showers in the morning because according to them if you didn't, you are dirty. So, they shower once in the morning and again later in the day.

I myself shower only once a day because you can save water that way. Also you spend less time doing something that you have to do every single day of your life. So that equals more free time for other things to be done.

 

[interpunct]

I only do when I didn't bathe before I went to bed. Sometimes I get home so tired that I fall asleep as soon as I touch my bed.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

I've always showered before bed. I cannot stand getting under the covers if I haven't had one, just feels horrible.
