Shower at morning or night?
Ok so I got into a stupid argument with some friends over drinks. I shower in the night mainly. My reasoning is that I like to be clean when I hop into bed. I want the filth from the whole day to be off of me. I am also good with showering both morning and afternoon, but there are a ton of people that only shower in the morning. I am not a big fan of this because you don't really get dirty at night in bed and instead your going to accumulate filth on you. So I prefer a night shower, obviously can do both, but mainly I need to be clean before bed otherwise I feel uncomfortable. How's your shower routine?
Morning.
1. I don’t like the feeling of being wet and getting into my bed.
2. I (and most people imo) look like a mess coming out of bed. I need to shower to groom myself and look “clean.”
3. Showering wakes me up. It’s like an “on” switch for the day.
I tend to use a towel after showering so my bed stays dry
Shower in the morning, mostly because I'm a morning workout person. Also helps wake me up.
I shower in the morning and at night. I run in the morning so I need to shower before I start work, but I also like to get into a clean bed and am starting to work out at night as well.
Night. Totally agree with you — I need to be clean when I get into bed. Showering twice a day is way too much; over-showering is bad for your skin and hair. 50% of the time I’ll wet my hair in the morning if it doesn’t look good after combing it when it was damp the previous night.
I do both if I need to (e.g., morning workout or if I'm feeling particularly groggy after waking up), but like you, my mandatory one is the nighttime shower. Same reasoning...doesn't feel right to me to be getting into bed after a full day.
That said, it's been different during WFH...if I don't go outside that much during the day, I care less about not having showered before bed.
Mornings. Don’t like showering at night, hate that wet feeling.
Me yesterday:
Wake up in a mild panic drenched in sweat around 3:30am. Throw my soaked blanket over a chair to dry and hop in the ice tub. Once we have control of our breathing and chill for a bit, hot shower to rinse off the alcohol hydrogen peroxide water. SHOWER #1
Post-workout shower SHOWER #2
Feel anxious about all the boxes. Start breaking down boxes. Boxes everywhere. Now recycling bin is full of broken down boxes and I'm sweaty. SHOWER #3
Feed the baby. Baby covered in food. Baby shit herself too. Decide rinsing the baby off in the shower will be easiest. Sleeves are soaked. Hood falls over head and is now also soaked. Head is soaked. It will be easier to just get in with the baby at this point. SHOWER #4
Go out to do some work shit and errands. Impulse buy an Xmas tree. Come home and bring in the tree. Wash off the COVID. SHOWER #5
Decide now is a good time to put up the tree. Takes two attempts. Covered in sweat and pine needle bullshit. Screwing things in is hard. SHOWER #6
Fuck the misses. Takes forever 'cause lexapro dick. Cum and collapse. Recover. SHOWER #7
Charlie Kelly? from it's always sunny?
Both as I workout in the evenings
Both. Full shower after workout in the evening and a quick rinse to wake me up and refresh my hair / skin in the morning
both as well
Night and again in the morning post-workout (if I get to do one). Getting into your bed after being out in the elements all day like that? Thats dirty af lmaooo. Wash your face in the morning with cold water and you’ll get the same “wake up” effect of a full shower
I used to be a morning shower person but after getting married my showers mainly happen at night. Mainly for sex (wife insists on me being freshly showered prior to sex... which is not unreasonable, heh) I still occasionally shower during the daytime (e.g. after a workout), so it's not a hard-and-fast rule.
Quit showering ... its IRR dilutive. Should go into your compensation meeting smelling like a hobo with flies and MS across your forehead ... and depending how badly you want to impress, missing tooth. WFH, how else they supposed to know you're working your ass off? Dont forget to rehearse Oliver Twist... "can I please has more (bonus), Sir?"
Morning. I work out in the morning, and even when I don't, I like starting the day out clean.
... why so defensive? No one questioned you - highly suss
In the morning after working out.
Brrrahhh ... you definitely do not work out ! Nice try. Why you flexin'?
Not facts bruh
Once approximately every third night because I went to Wharton. Showering every night is non-target AF
With wfh my hygiene has gone to shit. I shower once every 2-3 days. I really like that oily, matted hair look. I brush my teeth every other day. Wear the same set of clothes for two weeks. I know I’m disgusting.
Yeah, I lost my internship and my GF left and haven’t seen someone I could call a friend for months. All I have is my drugs and my music - keeps me going.
In the morning, and or after exercise.
Night for sure. Feels refreshing after a long day.
Night. How the hell do people get into bed after being out all day. I’d feel so dirty.
What kind of work are you doing that gets you so dirty? Most people here are in front of a computer all day.
Ha! These guys acting like they work in the mine. “Oh how can you sleep without showering!? That’s so DIRTY!” Shut your mouth, I prefer my natural smell, so does the GF. All men should smell a little musty, it’s the most natural way.
As someone else stated, if you work in a major city and you take public transportation, you should seriously consider showering at night, its absolutely disgusting. People are saying shower before bed makes you sweaty. I am not saying shower before bed, but at the very least once you get home, you should take a shower. Yes we sit in front of a computer all day long, but we are constantly touching and being in areas that are dirty. Obviously during Covid, I don't care when you shower, if you're staying home.
Only freaks and pedos shower at night.
Morning - can't let all my back office colleagues dunk on me.
How the heck do people not shower at night before going to sleep...? Even though say you basically sit all day in front of the computer, if you are wearing socks (I hope that's the case) and have been in the subway or just outside in general, you still get dirty. Bruh wtf.
Ewww. I just realized for those that work in NYC. The subway is disgusting. Yea, if you don't shower at night thats a bit rough.
In the morning pre-COVID, now that we are working from home I probably show once every few days..
To the guys who shower in the morning but not at night, sincere question: is your bed constantly gross?
I always shower in the morning.
If had a long day and am trying to relax I'll take a bath. (Yes I am a guy who bathes give me shit for it, I'm not changing)
I'll grab an orange or tangerine eat that while having a beer in the bath. The citrus from the orange is very relaxing in the hot water and smells great.
Otherwise I'll shower at the end of the day.
Both
Shower at night for sure. It’s kind of gross to sleep and roll around in your filth from the day. Also probably better for your skin. If you have longer hair this is probably ideal.
I only shower in the morning if I work out that day, or I have a lot of time to get ready and want to look/smell a little fresher. Always shower before a date and usually before going to a club or bar, but if I have no time I just re up on the deodorant and splash some cologne on.
I love a broad margin to my life. Sometimes, in a summer morning, having taken my accustomed bath, I sit in my sunny doorway from sunrise till noon, rapt in a revery, amidst the pines and hickories and sumachs, in undisturbed solitude and stillness, while the birds sing around or flitted noiseless through the house, until by the sun falling in at my west window, or the noise of some traveller's wagon on the distant highway, I was reminded of the lapse of time. I grew in those seasons like corn in the night, and they were far better than any work of the hands would have been. They were not time subtracted from my life, but so much over and above my usual allowance. I realized what the Orientals mean by contemplation and the forsaking of works. For the most part, I minded not how the hours went. The day advanced as if to light some work of mine; it was morning, and lo, now it is evening, and nothing memorable is accomplished. Instead of singing like the birds, I silently smiled at my incessant good fortune. As the sparrow had its trill, sitting on the hickory before my door, so had I my chuckle or suppressed warble which he might hear out of my nest. My days were not days of the week, bearing the stamp of any heathen deity, nor were they minced into hours and fretted by the ticking of a clock; for I lived like the Puri Indians, of whom it is said that "for yesterday, today, and tomorrow they have only one word, and they express the variety of meaning by pointing backward for yesterday forward for tomorrow, and overhead for the passing day. -Henry David Thoreau
his mom did his laundry tho
Morning because I don't want to smell at work
"Quick shower before bed" killed me.
Just shower twice a day
i shower with my socks on
I feel asleep if I don’t shower plus you’ll get fired for “underperformance” if you suddenly start showing up to work smelly that is 100% the kiss of death
