shower, morning or before you go to bed

Post Reply New Topic

I have a hard time deciding, if I should shower in the morning, or before I go to bed.

What do you prefer to do? and why?

I shower at night because during the day you sweat and get dirty so I shower at night and be clean at night.

I shower after the kids fall asleep which is both in the morning but at night...lol. The two year old (another reason why i think she might be aspie) doesn't really like to go to bed before 2AM. Now because of that, I don't always get to shower. And, for chics, you don't want to wash your hair daily (depending on your hair type, but most usually you want every other day). Anyway, I am trying out the Melatonin, and that's making life easier. We are only on day 3 with it, and I give it to her at midnight because I don't want to totally rock her old schedule as opposed to weaning into a better one.

Before I had kids, I showered at night thanks to the Dial commercial ("Wash away the day with dial"). It really was more therapeutic at night to help me calm down and wash away that day. Plus I sleep better if I feel clean and with some shaved legs. But sometimes, if I had a hard time getting up, I'd shower in the morning too because it does help wake you up and get you moving. Also, before I had kids while in the military, I showered when the military told me to in Basic Training, and then at Tech School after PT, which was very early morning (late at night for some people), and then in the morning sometimes and at night sometimes at my first duty station because we'd PT in the morning only 3 times a week.

80% of the time i take baths, and its usually before i go to sleep

Morning showers are mandatory. Evening ones are optional.

I shower after my workout, which is usually after I get home from work. If I don't work out, I shower the next morning before I go to work.

I shower both in the morning and at night. I shower in the morning to wake me up and at night because I don't want to go to bed dirty.

If I don't work out I shower in the morning to wake myself up. Sometimes I shower in the evening if I don't work out if I have to leave early the next morning and I don't want to get up earlier.

I take a bath about every other day ..... usually in the evening after diner!

Thanks for the replies

I used to take baths until I moved, and got my own place. The places I've lived sins then hasn't had a bathtub. Instead I take long warm showers, without soap, and sitting down, before I go to sleep.

Therefore I think I'll try out showering at night, all together. First the normal shower, then finish with warmer water.

OMG!! I used to live in a house with no tub!! I did the EXACT same thing!! I would sit in the bottom of the shower because it seemed "odd" to shave my legs standing up and it seemed "odd" to scrub my feet that way, too!!

You know what theysay about great minds.......

We must think a like!!

Depends. When I had a "physical" job where I'd sweat and get grimey, I showered when I got home. When I had an office job I'd shower in the morning to wake up. The caveat there is that when it's hot out, I'll have a cool shower once I hit the door after work just to cool off, and then the morning shower to wake up. Regardless of the time of day, I can't be in any of them long as my skin is very dry and all I need to do is wash the surface dirt and sweat off. Too much soap, water, or shampoo and I'll end up using vast quantities of lotion to soothe my skin or spend all day itching like mad and leaving a flakes-of-dead-skin trail.

I too shower when I get home from work. It seems the most logical time of day to do so.

i have to shower in the morning before i go to work. even if i shower before bed, by the time i wake up, i feel dirty again. and since people have always made me feel like a dirty, inferior thing, i feel i have to prove myself as clean, and therefore shower before work without fail.

Whenever I get around to it.

I prefer to shower at night, but if I really need a shower and I'm going somewhere, I try to take one before I leave.

Plus, when I have long hair, it gets all poofy when I shower in the morning, and I think it looks pretty cool that way

I shower at night, every other day.

EDIT: Lol... that was wrong.. It's in the evening of course.
