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.
I just shower whenever i feel like it. Sometimes night, sometimes morning. Sometimes both. Sometimes neither.
This person gets it. “When I need one”
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
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.
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
Both you smelly heathens
Night, because I don’t like going to bed dirty
Night.
Bringing your daily dirt to bed is a no go and if you plan on relations with a partner…you better be clean.
Morning. I sweat so much in bed since I started taking SSRIs.
A 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. Can’t do anything until I’m rid of the night slime, can’t fall asleep until I’m rid of the day grime
Both, every day.
That seems like a lot of water.
Depends on how long they are in the shower for. 😜
Sweated before or was at work: Evening night
Need to be extra fresh/clean: Morning showerNight, because I work in factories. Also because I’m not waking up early to shower before work
Night. I have a hard time getting ready in the morning, and the last thing I need is to be late to work AND have wet hair the entire morning. But being nice and clean before bed helps me sleep.
Aaahhh. Clean and sleepy. ☺️😪
Theoretically, I’m all onboard with the night shower arguments. I’d love to be a night shower person. But I don’t think I’m physically capable of waking up in the morning without the shower routine.
