What’s your verdict?
I’m a morning shower person because they help me wake up and summer is hot so I need to be clean.
As soon as possible after you work out. If you don’t work out, you should. Otherwise night since you don’t want to introduce the grime of the day into your bed.
Night, because I don’t like going to bed dirty
Night, to get into bed clean. I am a cool sleeper and live in a hot and steamy climate. Only shower in the morning if I need to wash my hair, so twice a week or so.
Never, I swim most days though. The amount of 'both’s in here is wild
Showering before bed makes the most sense so your bed and those who share it stay cleaner… With that said, I’m a dude who sleeps on his side and my short hair will stick up in weird places after getting up. I would have to spend almost as much time dousing, combing, and applying product to have it look decent. So I shower in the morning.
Both you smelly heathens
Morning. I sweat so much in bed since I started taking SSRIs.
Sweated before or was at work: Evening night
Need to be extra fresh/clean: Morning showerA night shower is good for sleeping, I find, but it’s not something i do often. For me, a morning shower is essential.
I’ve always had weirdly unmanageable hair, so it needs to be rinsed so it won’t go full Einstein. Plus, a shower wakes me up and helps me feel ready for the grind.
I also do this 30-second cold blast at the end that I picked up on somewhere and masochistically enjoy.
Plus, I have levo meds that need to be taken about half an hour before coffee/breakfast, so the shower and getting ready give me a sufficient time window.
Night because I don’t want to filth up my bed and I’m too lazy in the morning.
Both.
I just shower whenever i feel like it. Sometimes night, sometimes morning. Sometimes both. Sometimes neither.
You must live in the cold right,
Where I’m from you need to shower every day at a minimum to not smell so bad that you get told you can’t enter a business
That all depends on what you call cold. In summer, it can get to 45°c. But at the moment it’s about 20°c and i’m freezing. In winter it gets to 3-4°c overnight. Plus I don’t really do anything except sit on the couch watching stuff, reading, or lemmy. Not doing stuff helps to stop the smell.
I see i get similar weather with massive humidity. Unfortunately I work outside so I need to shower twice
This person gets it. “When I need one”
I’ve always thought this was a white-/blue-collar discriminator. Shower before work to be presentable to clients; shower after work to clean off the grime and sweat.
This might be a bigger variable than anyone thinks.
When I worked in a kitchen and came home smelling of old fries, I couldn’t go to bed feeling like that.
Yuuup. When I worked BOH, shower after work. When I worked FOH, shower before work.
Even when I was FOH, I still brought the stank home.
Never really noticed any FOH stank personally, guess it depends on the restaurant.
Yeah, it probably does. The more the place relies on deep fryers, the more stank in the air.
It’s the same for white collar if you’re heavy or just an oily fella.
Not necissarily blue vs white collar. Probably more just customer facing vs not. I’m a service tech so I’m blue collar but I’m also directly interacting with customers so I need to look presentable at least at the start of the day. So I normally do a morning shower so I look presentable to customers but sometimes I wind up crawling around in unspeakable filth or working up a major sweat at work so if that’s the case then I will do an after work shower in addition to the morning shower. But I’m customer facing so the morning shower is a must.
I leave for work just after 6 AM, so night.
Night; Clean bed feels better than clean office chair.
Totally.
I get some people having a brief shower in the morning to ‘wake themselves up’, also.
Agreed
