Shower at night or in the morning?

Both! Granted, I use showers to both unwind, and wake up. A long warm steaming shower/bath is always a highlight for my days. Both options have important points to them. Taking a shower at night cleans the day off of you, and makes certain you go into a clean bed.  Taking a shower in the morning is refreshing and helps people get ready for the day to come.

I also prefer to shower at night but if I don't, I just make sure like, my feet are clean. Dirty feet in a bed is disgusting

I like showering at night so I can take my time. But I prefer morning showers if I have a long day outside ahead of me, so I'm fresh. I mix it up.

Depends on where you are in the world.

I prefer to shower at night. I sleep better clean, and the sheets stay cleaner. If I don't shower at night a few times, I'm more likely to wash my sheets soon.

yes, it's weird--the lay across the bed part, not the didn't take a shower before bed part

I personally prefer morning myself.

Shower in the morning, w**** bath at night—face, neck, arms, feet and privates. I don’t like going g to bed with wet hair

I have long hair, so morning showers are a must. If I go to sleep with damp hair, I wake up looking like Joey Ramone. Or, now that I've gone gray, maybe Joey Ramone's grandma.

I can’t sleep if I don’t shower at night. So night.

Honestly, it depends on the day-- on the weekends or on my days off from work, I'll shower at night or in the afternoon, but during the majority of the work week, I actually prefer to shower in the morning. It's become an indelible part of my morning routine and plus, on days when I have work, I like to work out in the morning since I'll usually be too tired afterwards, so at that point, a morningshower is necessary.

Mostly at night, to wash the grime of the day off so I dont put it all over my bed. I also have really oily skin, so it helps a lot to do it at night. If im particularly exhausted, I'll just scrub my face/neck really well before bed. And shower before work.

I don't have a physically demanding job, so I don't feel dirty at the end of the day. If I work out in the evening, then I shower after. If I don't work out evening, I shower in the morning. I wash my sheets weekly though, so everything balances out, I guess lol 🤷‍♀️

Morning, always. Wakes me up and leaves me fresh for the day. Showering at night and then sweating in bed is just weird to me. Plus my hair gets all flattened or weird.

Shower in the morning, quick rinse at night

Shower at night, obviously to be clean before you sleep and to wash off pollen and allergens. I wash my hair in the morning though, always had short hair which can’t brush and go.

In the morning because I need it to wake me up! At night, I only wash my face, feet and private parts.

Tbh, nothing stops you from doing both. Quick rinse in the morning, proper shower at night. Best of both worlds.

I depends for me. If I did a lot of activity during the day, I definitely shower before bed. Otherwise morning showers. Like some have stated, climate is a big factor too. When I lived in a very humid climate, I usually showered morning and evening cause I was so dang sweaty!

I cannot start my day without a shower so if I shower at night, it’s my second one for that day.

Morning cause I sleep naked and I sweat during the night so I wanna be clean for the day I shower in the morning and it doesn't matter how dirty my bed is

Sleep normally and change the sheets

Morning shower. Night shower gives me the dreaded **bed head** I cannot sleep in wet hair!

I have shoulder length hair and it takes two hours to dry, so I shower in the morning. My scalp gets itchy if I don’t wash my hair every day.

Cold showers in the morning and warm showers in the evening.

yes

Shower at night during the work week, and shower in the morning on weekends.

night ...and sometimes after spending the day doing yard work

My personal preference is a bath in the morning but a shower at night.

I love to wake up with a shower, I have a very solid routine because I wake up very early and need to be on autopilot some days. If I workout I will catch a quick shower to wash off the sweat at night, or if it’s a particularly hot day, my job is not very labor intensive most days , but on the ones where I’m out and about I definitely will do a quick shower.

My hair gets greasy if I only shower before bed, so I have to shower in the morning. If I were doing intensive sports or yard work where I'd get really dirty or sweaty, I'd probably do two a day. But I sit at a desk all day and live in a dry cold environment, so I'm not super dirty when I get down. If anything, I sweat more in my sleep.

Both.

Sleeping vertically?? What, like a horse??? Or do you mean diagonally??

Living in a hot and humid environment, I need to shower every morning and before bed most days

I used to be shower in the morning. I started working out after school, though, so now I shower at night.

Porque no los dos? I do both - shower in the morning really wakes you up and gets you ready for the day, shower at night before bed cleans you up and gets you ready for sleep.

warning: autism and ADHD💀 both. i don't like daily routines bc it feels unnatural (3 square meals a day, shower every morning/every night, same tasks, etc). i often shower in the middle on the day, as i get off work an hour or two after 12 (depends on the day). if i have plans with friends/family, i'll shower and wash my hair the night before. if i have plans at night, sometimes i'll shower whenever i wake up🤷‍♀️ i'll shower whenever i can fit it in tbh, and it always depends on whether i'm washing my hair (about once a week) and/or shaving (and *what* i'm shaving). overall, i agree with showering at night bc it keeps the sheets cleaner (afaik), and also i don't like showering with a time limit :)

usually in the morning. doing it at night results in the best sleep though

I was a night shower person for most of my life. I’m having health issues and I’m doing morning showers cause my symptoms are usually mild in the morning and I actually enjoy it. I’m home all day I’m disabled. Don’t go out much.

I prefer night showers for the same reason.. but since I work late I just haven't liked getting home, getting in the shower and going to bed.  I also wake up with serious bed hair so a morning shower helps with that.. 

I have to shower in the morning because if I don't, my hair looks like I'm a homeless schizophrenic. If I'm feeling dirty I'll also shower at night, but it's often not necessary

I’m such a hot sleeper - plus my face/neck/ears are just . . . oily? I just can’t greet the day without a shower. If I don’t shower at night ( also ) i do the standard face wash then I do a lean over the edge of the tub quick shampoo ( dude/short hair ) and a quick foot wash.

both

Both

Sometimes both, especially after I work out in the evenings. But I always shower in the morning--I like feeling clean at the start of the day.

If you work an office job, you can choose to shower at night or in the morning. If you work a blue collar (or grey collar job), you can only shower at night. I have to shower at night, I don’t really have a choice.

I can’t wake up fully in the mornings until I shower (I am by nature very much a night owl and not a morning person). The path from the bed to the shower is an agonizing one lol. I’m a different person when I emerge. If I feel especially yucky from being active or outdoors, I’ll shower before bed, but even then I still have to shower in the morning.

Only in the morning. Or after I've cut the grass if it's somewhere in the middle of the day or the afternoon.

I prefer shower at night.

Night. Clean for bed. Wash the day off. Wash face in the morning.

nah the “sleeping vertically so you don’t contaminate the bed” part took me out but I get it, night showers just hit different. morning people be raw dogging the day straight outta bed and I don’t trust that energy tbh

Depends on your job.

After work because I work on cars all day. 

I think it really depends on your schedule and what you do for work. I have kind of a dirty job so for me it makes more sense to shower at the end of the day, but my partner has a job where he needs to look fresh and presentable so he showers in the morning. Bonus points for us not having to worry about hogging each other's hot water.

I work out at the gym most mornings so I take a quick shower there but I prefer to have a thorough shower at night before going to bed.

I'm a shower at noon person. It just fits my work.

Me imagining the Turians sleeping vertically 😂

No I do the same thing

I’m a shower in the middle of the day gal.

Morning when I was in my 20’s. Whenever I could find a time, as a mom in my 30’s. Night in my 40’s and mid afternoon now in my 50’s.

Twice a day. After the gym and before work in the morning and then at night right before bed.

Both

Nope!

I’m either way and I don’t think the idea of needing a shower at night before bed is so odd. I giggled at the idea of you sleeping at the end of your bed if you don’t though - so thanks for that!

I'm going to blow your mind and say I shower only every other day. Showering every day is bad for your skin, and I also have a lot of people in the house, so it saves on water. But do I stink? No. Trust me, if I did, someone would let me know. Hell, my wife doesn't let me hug her after a work out until I shower, which I also don't do every day. And you may also be thinking, "what if they're just used to a specific level of stink." Dude, I'm so paranoid about smelling bad, I have asked plenty of people. Trust me. Unless you live in a warm environment, or it's summer, you really don't need to shower every day. ["The soap industry poured a fortune into advertising the idea that daily showering was essential for health, and by the eighties, 90% of Americans said they showered every day."](https://a.co/d/04Zeiwo3)

Depends on your job and what you do during the day. I prefer to "rinse off the day" after work, while my husband needs one to wake up. Neither of us have very physically demanding jobs right now and it's a convenient system that works, no fighting over hot water.

I wfh so I usually shower after my workout, usually midday around 12. If I feel excessively sweaty/dirty, i’ll shower again before bed too but that’s pretty rare.

I'm blue collar. If I don't wash before bed my sheets would be disgusting

No way I’m going to sleep dirty/sweaty

Used to shower in the morning but i love getting into bed freshly cleaned. In the summer sometimes I’ll do a quick cold shower just to feel fresh

Night. It just feels gross to get into bed without showering.

I shower in the morning and evening. The evening shower is super-quick, just a quick wash and out. The morning shower is when I wash my hair and stuff like that. I live in a desert, and the grime, sand, dust, and heat can make you pretty funky by the end of the day. But I also like to begin the day with clean hair and body; it makes me feel better. So I just do both.

Why not both?

Night showers for me and I grew up in Florida. I need the shower to clean up, unwind, and because our house is a bit dry in the winter (currently live in Kentucky) helps me hydrate my skin some.

Showering in the morning helps me feel awake and ready for the day, but I don’t like to go to bed feeling dirty at all, so I’ve been taking a shower at night and then a quick rinse in the morning, sometimes just my head/hair, and sometimes I’ll actually hop in the shower quick.

Night. Cleanliness is paramount. But if I could, I would in the morning too. Doing my hair after a shower takes time but looks far better.

Nope, not weird. As kids we all had a bath before bedtime - to clean sure, but the warm water relaxes us too.

Minimum night. I can’t ever understand how people shower only in the mornings go about their day get dirty and roll into bed

I always shower at night and then wash my face after brushing my teeth in the morning. If I feel a bit grungy after that, I will stick my head under the shower and wash my hair really quick.

At night. I'm physically disabled, and bathing is exhausting and painful for me. Also, I can't actually take showers because I can't safely stand long enough, nor can I fit a shower chair in my very narrow tub. I take regular baths when I am physically up to it, and I do basically sponge baths at other times.

I do both, mainly because I work out at different times of day during the week. If I plan on running the in the morning before work then I don't shower the night before. If I run in the evening after work, then I shower afterwards and probably won't shower before work the next day.

Late morning/afternoon. I work from home. It's awesome.

Rinse at night, shower in the morning, I like to start my day super fresh and I don’t like putting on deodorant just to go to sleep

Both if I can. If only one - it's right before bed, always. My skin is so dry that I have to exfoliate in the shower & then use oil. Otherwise I will be itchy the rest of the night.

D***** le soir . Je bosse dans le bâtiment et quelque soit l'heure je prends ma d***** le soir avant de me coucher . Le matin que le week-end quand j'ai passé la nuit avec ma chérie

More evening shower than night for me as I will usually shower when I get home from work/gym.

I work from home, so I like to shower on my lunch break. I get to sleep in a bit more and it gives my hair plenty of time to dry before I go out and do anything after work.

Both.

Sleeping at the end of the bed to keep it “clean” is actually next level logic 😂

Evening. Or straight after getting home from work because I bike. I’m not dirty in the morning again. I don’t sweat. Never smell bad.

If I’ve had a long day, shower at night. If I’m gonna have a long day, shower in the morning.

It depends. If I’ve spiraled or dissociated long enough, I wash my face and shower in the morning. I do move the blanket. Otherwise, I usually shower at night.

Both. Sometimes three times if I worked hard.

Yes

I shower right after I get up for work at night.

both

Night time to reset to clean state before bed. I will shower during the day if i exercise or whatever, and that *might* suffice for my "night" shower it i maintain a clean state. Meaning didnt go outside, didnt cook, didnt interact with rubbish bins etc. I dont shower in the morning. I'm still clean from my night shower. Asian so dont smell much from sweat or BO

night shower gang. crawling into bed clean is one of life's simple pleasures and morning showers just feel like wasting the first 20 minutes of the day standing in steam

Normally at night before bed, I don't want to be dirty and get into my nice clean bed. But morning showers when I didn't get good sleep are a necessity to wake me up. I also just don't like being sweaty, so quick day showers in the summer are a thing for me, too. 😂

At night. I have long, curly hair and I let it dry overnight and then style it in the morning. Plus, I don’t like to get in bed with the dirt of the day on me.

Bueno yo me ducho en la mañana cuando llevo a mi bebé al colegio, y en la tarde vuelvo y me ducho

Shower at night. I, too, feel a little icky if I don't go to bed clean. Less frequent bed sheet changes need led too.

Night. Who wants to get in bed dirty?

Night I don’t like getting up earlier than I have to

After a long day of working in the World's pollutants, it's not unusual for the first want is to be clean. Morning brushing your face and washing your teeth can wake you up, maybe doing a bidet, if things got frisky, to make you feel fresh and ready to face the day.

sleeping vertically at the edge of the bed like you’re quarantining yourself is kinda wild ngl but nah night showers make sense, getting into bed clean just hits different. morning shower people just raw dog the day from sleep sweat and vibes

Night shower person here and I will die on this hill. The logic is simple: you spend all day collecting the world on your skin — commute grime, office air, whatever you touched — and then you're going to bring all of that into your bed? Into your clean sheets? The morning shower people I know argue it "wakes them up" and I get that, but that's what cold water on your face is for. A shower is for washing, not for caffeine substitution. Night shower + fresh sheets is genuinely one of life's underrated pleasures.

Night. Why would I go in my bed dirty?

If you shower at night you are getting into bed clean and have no need to shower in the morning. Who showers in the morning then goes around allllll day and doesn’t shower before getting into bed? Y’all nasty

In the summer I shower at night because you get sweaty during the day and I can’t sleep if I am sweaty. In the winter I shower in the morning so I’m fresh for the day.

I shower whenever I feel like it. That is almost never going to be first thing in the morning. It’s also almost never going to be at night before bed. My ideal shower time is somewhere between 4-7 PM, I think.

Mostly at night except when I was swimming at the pool late evening. Or in the summer if I walk my dog and get sweaty I’ll have a quick shower, and then shower one more time before sleep

I shower at night. I need to wash the “ick” of the day off. Even if I’ve only been watching Netflix all day lol. Then I just was my face, pits, privates and feet

Same here. Night time makes me sleep so much better. I have done both but nighttime shower is a must.

I shower at night, mostly because I have long, thick hair that takes hours to dry and is much harder to brush when it’s wet. Showering in the morning would be a nightmare for me.

Honestly that is so relatable. I do the same thing and honestly just laying in bed feeling gross is way worse than the effort of taking a shower anyway. Youre definitely not alone on this one!
