What time of the day do you usually take a shower or bath and why? Curious to see how many do it in the morning vs. at night.

It's the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning. I used to shower at night when I was a kid, but my hair gets way too greasy overnight, and I don't feel ready for the day unless I shower right away.

Shower, at night. Namely because my hair's long, curly, and an absolute sponge, so trying to do anything afterwards is impossible.

I just do it whenever I decide to get around to actually doing it.
(I feel like this would be better as an AMA question)

Night showers have always struck me as more practical. For one thing, you won't need to change out your bed linens as much, since they wouldn't get as much grime on them.

Night time. Just makes sense to me I guess, get dirty during the day (lol), clean up at the end of it.

I take a full shower before work each day, so normally in the mornings.

After work I usually take a quick shower, which basically just means a rinse-down.

Rather late at night.

I always take a shower before getting in bed. So when I used to have early morning physical training in college (I was in Air Force ROTC for a couple years), I'd shower afterwards before getting back in bed to sleep until class, and then I'd shower again at night before bed.

Before I leave my house is a general rule. Otherwise, about once a day. Heck, when I was in training 3 showers a day was the norm.

I ask because I'm at a crossroads on this question myself.

I've always showered at night because I couldn't get up early enough to do it in the morning and not be late for work, but now I've managed to get up early enough regularly where that's not a problem anymore. The problem with doing it at night is that if I go to bed with wet hair it'll be greasy by the morning, so if I get busy or lose track of time and it ends up being too late I have to decide if I want to lose an hour of sleep showering and waiting for my hair to dry, or go on to bed and do it in the morning anyways. Otherwise, both have pros...showering in the morning wakes me up and makes me feel more alert, but showering at night relaxes me and makes me able to sleep better.

Now that I can do either, I'm not sure which I'll end up doing permanently...been trying morning the last few days, but we'll see.

Compromise: shower after lunch. However, that may cause other problems in terms of scheduling around food... got it, shower at midnight.
I see no problems here.

Sometimes I already do shower at midnight or later v_v lol

I can't wake up without a morning shower lol. And than one after work. I was into cold showers for a while too. Now that stuff will wake you up like you wouldn't believe. If you can handle it.
