To-Done! Working to live.

Kyle on February 1, 2006 said:

In the morning before work… occasionally it’s an evening shower, but that’s usually a one-off. The shower wakes me up and I need that morning shave since I have a heavy beard (and an 11am shadow).

Drew on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning. I just don’t feel right if I don’t, and my hair is… unruly if I sleep on it wet.

Thierry Bélanger Clermont on February 1, 2006 said:

In the morning. I need it to wake up and I need a coffee too. ;)

John Nunemaker on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower at night. Can’t stand to go to bed feeling the least bit dirty. The only time I shower in the morning is the days that I work out before work.

Matt Turner on February 1, 2006 said:

Mornings, every day to help wake me up. I’ll somtimes shower in the evenings during the summer months (what there are of them in England).

Lance E. Leonard on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning. Umm, hair issues.

jazzle on February 1, 2006 said:

Mornings usually.
Helps me wake up.

Evenings when I’ve had some exercise during the day (rather too rare ATM).

Cuccu on February 1, 2006 said:

Usually in the morning, but occasionally at night if I want to be warm when I get in bed. But I never wash my hair at night.

Jeff Smith on February 1, 2006 said:

Defintely mornings, I can’t start my day properly without a nice hot shower. It gives my brain time to wake up so I’m not completely out to lunch when I get to work.

Stephane on February 1, 2006 said:

I always shower in the evening, I feel dirty from the day’s work (or any sports I’ve done), so I like to sleep clean. Also I prefer taking my time in the morning so a shower creates too much of a rush.

chrispian on February 1, 2006 said:

Strange question, I like it! I fall in the morning category as well. Don’t feel “awake” until I’ve showered in the morning. I often take a quick shower in the evening after work outs or other things like that. Risking TMI, if I can smell myself I can’t sleep so I must shower first, lol. But even when I shower at night I always shower again in the morning. The only time I don’t shower in the morning is when getting a hair cut, on those days I shower after the cut.

Jeffrey Cox on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning for me. It helps me wake up and get going; ready to take on the day.

Bryan Covington on February 1, 2006 said:

I sense there is a pending post on how taking a shower at night can save us time in the morning on the way out the door.

Either way, I go for morning. I thnk everyone is going to have hair issues after sleeping on it. I suppose if I used enough hair gel to literally encase my entire head in a bulletproof shield of plastic, my hair might behave for a few hours. It’s really sad since I don’t even have that much hair.

Sara on February 1, 2006 said:

In the morning, but only because styling my hair requires a blow-dry. I am jealous of men because I would love to take a nice hot shower before getting into bed, not to mention save all that time in the morning. If I exercise after work, then it’s 2 showers a day because that morning one is still needed.

Jimbo on February 1, 2006 said:

Always at night… Do it for a week and you’ll wonder how you ever got into bed “with the day still on you”.

Duane on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning. The hair thing for me, too. I don’t have much, which makes it all the more annoying if you get a couple of bits that just don’t want to behave.

tim on February 1, 2006 said:

I am a habitual morning showerer. Always a shower in the morning to wake up, clean up, and because it’s a bad hair day if I don’t.

Evening showers come if I work out late, feel like I am too smelly to stand myself, or can’t sleep.

Aaron on February 1, 2006 said:

i shower in the morning post-workout. i don’t have hair anymore, but when i did i had to shower in the morning to have any hope of doing anything with it.

Randy Murray on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning. I shave in the shower (which is a time saver in itself), plus I feel fresher and cleaner to start the day.

Hermann Klinke on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower in the evening, because I don’t like going to bed “dirty”. Showering in the evening also improves sleep, because the temperature drop is higher when you shower hot.

Chris on February 1, 2006 said:

Evening, right before bed. It’s relaxing, and I have enough trouble being on time in the morning that anything I can move to the night before helps.

Katy on February 1, 2006 said:

I always shower when I get home from work in the evenings. It relaxes me and winds me down from a hard days slog. I’d like to shower in the mornings but never seem to leave myself enough time.

steve on February 1, 2006 said:

I can’t do much of anything in the morning without a shower, it starts my day. I’m very anal about it too. My wife gives me a bit of a hard time, even if I’m sick, or on vacation, or bumming around on the couch all day, I shower.

Brian Rose on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower every morning. In fact, I can’t leave my apartment without doing so first. When I wake up in the morning, I usually have a huge hair issue, not to mention the fact that I sweat when I sleep.

Angela on February 1, 2006 said:

Evening! I’m so glad you asked. I don’t like showering bleary-eyed, I’d have to get up a lot earlier, and a good face wash and breakfast are enough to wake me up.
But I love showering in the evening so that I go to bed clean – I don’t know how pople get in to bed with smelly armpits and dirty feet (especially in summer). Evening showers are also a nice winding-down routine for me, once I’m in the shower I have left the day’s trouble behind and am heading towards sleep mode. The one disadvantage is that my freshly washed ( and dried)hair is at its best at about 11pm, but it’s still worth it.

Jerome on February 1, 2006 said:

Evening. Just don’t like the feeling of going to bed dirty. Besides, I don’t have the time to shower in the morning.

Jacob on February 1, 2006 said:

I take a short shower in the morning – it helps me wake up and get the day started. I take a “thorough” shower in the evening, after coming home from a daily bike ride. On days when I know the bike ride won’t happen, I’ll make the morning a little more “thorough.”

Andrea on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower at night. It would take me an hour I don’t have to blow dry my hair, and six to let it dry naturally, and I hate having wet hair all day.

I can pretty easily fix weird overnight hair issues with a few spritzes from a bottle of water I keep for just that purpose, and maybe a little conditioner scrunched in to take out the frizz. :)

Gavin on February 1, 2006 said:

Every morning, unless I wake up really late, I need to to wake up, especially as I have an early start I’m still getting used to, and also because of hair issues.

David on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning at work after I bike in. Hair never looks right after a nights sleep….

Robin on February 1, 2006 said:

In winter at night and summer morning. This is based on having a Solar water heater in Israel, and in the Summer the water is still hot in the Morning and in the winter it is cold by morning…it is a financial decision.

Josh on February 1, 2006 said:

Usually in the morning – but about 3 days a week at night after a run.

Arjan on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning. I’m not actually awake when I get up, so a (cold) shower is a must. And for hair issues, too. Showering in the evening wakes me up too, so it keeps me awake. Therefore I never shower before I go to bed.

GTD Wannabe on February 1, 2006 said:

Cool question! Love all the responses too.

Definitely morning – I’m not human until I shower. And the hair thing. I do like a nice shower at night every now and then, but about the only time I don’t shower in the morning are those days that I stay in my pyjamas all day :) I’ve also been known to shower after a long drive, just to get the road grime off. Can’t wait to read your future post about this!

xema on February 1, 2006 said:

Before going to bed. Because I have ever done exercise in the evening and i can’t go to bed feeling dirty :)

Ayse on February 1, 2006 said:

Either one, depending on what is happening the next day and what happened that day. On days when I have to leave the house by 6:30am, I have usually showered the night before. On days when I need to wash my hair (it’s very long and thick and I don’t need to wash it every day), I shower in the morning. When I’m doing house or yard work, I skip a shower until I’ve finished the work. When I unexpectedly get really dirty during the day, I might take an extra shower. And sometimes, when my skin is really dry, I’ll skip a shower in favour of a sink-bath.

Peter on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning.

1. Hair
2. Feel clean
3. Matches the clean of my underwear.

Patrick on February 1, 2006 said:

Every morning, definintely. I just feel dirty if I go out before taking a shower, plus it gives me time to wake up fully.

I also take an evening shower from time to time, especially during summer, after disc golfing, or if I’ve been out jogging.

Mike M on February 1, 2006 said:

I have always showered in the morning until I moved to the Gulf Coast where I got in the habit of showering in the morning (hair wash) and the evening to get the sweat off (12 months a year). I have since moved away from the Gulf Coast but still do it.

Ward on February 1, 2006 said:

Mornings. To feel clean and awake (mostly).

Charles on February 1, 2006 said:

Shower in the morning, definitely need that wake up call – and come on, shaving in the shower is where it’s at. Of course if I participate in any physical activity during the day, I shower thereafter.

thiago on February 1, 2006 said:

since i live in a tropical county, i bath both in the morning and at night

Jeff on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning.

Why anyone would take a nice shower (without one in the morning as well, which is excessive), then get into a nasty bed and roll around in their body oil, skin, mites, and bacteria all night is beyond me. And that’s when the bed is CLEAN.

Jeff on February 1, 2006 said:

“I don’t have the time to shower in the morning”

You choose not to make the time to shower in the morning.

Teli on February 1, 2006 said:

I’d have to go with: both.

I shower in the morning to wake up and feel fresh and alive.

I shower at night before I go to bed to wind down and calm my nerves.

In the morning, the water is usually lukewarm (borderline nippy) whereas, at night the water is usually scathingly hot.

Interesting question, I’m curious to see what you make of this.

Patrick on February 1, 2006 said:

In the morning; helps me wake up, and like a lot of people hair issues. But during the summer and high humidity I’ll also shower after I get home from the studio, or especially if shooting on location.

Roger on February 1, 2006 said:

Evening…I never leave myself enough time in the morning.

Lucas on February 1, 2006 said:

Both. In the morning before going to work…and in the evening after working out…

Antonio on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning, I wake up fresh and with the clean clothes I’m good to go.

JamesZ on February 1, 2006 said:

Shower every day? only every other week 4 me…

Seriously:
usually in the AM, helps me wake up. I feel a little grimey towards the end of the day if I shower the night before. Also I can’t stand to go to sleep with wet hair.

Dave on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning, and if I don’t have one I feel gross and sort-of worthless for the rest of the day. It wakes me up and my hair gets all matted and weird during sleep, so that’s nice to fix as well.

Malach on February 1, 2006 said:

In the morning, after my morning workout (which is most days), and in the evening after martial arts training (3 times a week).

If I don’t work out in the morning, I shower anyway – it’s part of my morning routine.

Vladimir Cezar on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning. How would I wake up otherwise?

Brian on February 1, 2006 said:

Mostly in the morning. It gives me a chance to plan the day and be creative. I solve a ton of problems while showering. While the left brain is busy just doing the cleaning rituals my right brain is free to wander.

Kurt on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower in the morning because:
1) I sometimes sweat in my sleep
2) I need the wakeup in the morning
3) Like to be fresh for work and not dirty up my nice work clothes

Exceptions to this are if I do sports activities in the evening.

Colin on February 1, 2006 said:

usually in the evening although i hate the fact that when i go to bed and wake up my hair is all a mess.

Mark on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower in the morning…

Wake up
Eat a little
Work out

Shower
Dress
Leave for work

Helen on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning. Especially after a night of sex…

Nathan on February 1, 2006 said:

In the morning DEFINATELY!
I need my morning shower to wake up, if i don’t have it Im not 100% awake.
As soon as i wake up i go toilet then shower straight away.
Showering at night just doesnt feel right, plus my hair is still wet and I get that all over the pillow and so on and so forth.

Sam on February 1, 2006 said:

Varies. Mostly in the mornings, especially during the summer when I’m all sweaty, and my hair is frequently weird when I wake up.

If I’m having trouble sleeping, though, I’ll shower in the evening as well – the drop in body temperature when I go to bed halps me drift off to sleep.

I don’t wash my hair in the shower, though. I moult like crazy. I’ll wet it a bit to help sort it out, but when I wash it it’s normally in a bowl downstairs, unless I have lots of time to remove the carpet from the shower so no-one shouts at me.

Sebastian on February 1, 2006 said:

At night. I sleep better that way. Feeling clean and cozy. Any hair issues can be resolved in the morning with some wet water. No biggie.
Besides, I like the “just woke-up messy hair” look.
:)

Nicole on February 1, 2006 said:

At night. I sleep better, and it saves me time in the morning. I’m really curious about this one.

Nick Brawn on February 1, 2006 said:

It’s summer in Australia, and because of the heat and the sweat you accumulate during the day, it’s nicer to go to bed clean and showered.

It’s also one less thing to do in the morning, when you have other things such breakfast and making lunch before going to work.

Sam on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower every morning. I feel icky if I don’t, and showering makes my hair go normal :)

Sometimes I’ll have showers during the day or before I go to bed – but not every day. The showers during the day are mostly because it’s really hot (Australian summer) and all sweaty etc, so it’s nice.

Silvia on February 1, 2006 said:

Evening, always, always, since a child.
A few years ago, like Thiago, as I also live in a tropical county, I bath both in the morning and at night. A brief shower in the morning 3 or 5 minutes, and 20 min in the evening to go to bed clean and relaxed. Nowadays, I stay at home, so there is no need to use a shower to wake up.
If my hair is slightly dirt, I love to wash it no matter if it is 2.00AM. In fact, if I wash and use the hair dryer, I sleep and wake up much better!

Lorenzo on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower in the morning to wake up and at night to sleep better (if feel clean). So I shower 2 times a day..

mike on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning unless I’ve exercised at night before bed.

Hair-wise, morning is best. I do have small kids to get out the door on the early side, so time-wise, evening is best.

Mariann on February 1, 2006 said:

AM because it wakes me up and going to sleep on a head of recently-dried hair is a nightmare of Frankenstein’s Bride proportion. I don’t mind baths at night, especially to relax.

Mar on February 1, 2006 said:

Twice per day: first time at mornign because of hair washing and emboldening. Second time at night because I like it. It gives me the feeling of completeness (of the day) and helps to relax.

Mark on February 1, 2006 said:

In the morning for a couple reasons:
I need it to wake up, even if I was filthy and had to take a shower in the evening my hair feels dirty all day without a morning shower.

I shave in the shower and my beard grows so fast it has to be in the morning!

Most work days the 2nd thing I do after arriving at the office (check emails for surprises first) is work-out. Even though I know I’ll need a quick shower afterwards, I still shower when I first get out of bed.

MT on February 1, 2006 said:

Great question! It’s up there with ‘how many sheets of toilet paper do you use?!’

I was always a morning showerer, until I moved to Hong Kong’s tropical climate. A day in 40 degree heat and sweaty 95% humidity means showering in the evening is not optional. I still like showering in the morning to wake me up, so, unusual among these comments, I often shower in both the morning and the evening.

Nikolay on February 1, 2006 said:

I shower in the morning because it helps me to wake up and to be in the mood for my work. And I have greasy hair so I have to shower in the morning.

But sometimes I shower twice a day. Second time takes place after training.

Kent on February 1, 2006 said:

Morning always. Evening sometimes. Depends on what I did that day.

cmaine on February 1, 2006 said:

I like a quick shower in the morning; as others have already said, it’s an eye opener. However, rarely do I have time for that, as I like to sleep a little longer more than the am shower.

So, mostly, I shower in the late afternoon/early evening while daughters do homework. Or, very, very late at night when everyone else is asleep. I feel as if I’ve snuck in something rather luxurious!

Chris Johnson on February 1, 2006 said:

I generally stick to a shower in the morning for the nice wake-me-up to get me ready for the day. And depending on the hubbub of the day I will also take one at night. The evening shower isn’t often, but the morning is mandatory.

Derek Featherstone on February 1, 2006 said:

Some of both – it always depends on what I’m doing. Sometimes when I’m feeling a bit daring, I’ll shower at night and in the morning. I know. Crazy, eh?

Dave Seah on February 1, 2006 said:

I am a morning and evening shower. I used to live in a subtropical country, so maybe that’s where I picked it up like some of the other double-showerers. But yeah, going to sleep all icky is gross, and the morning shower tames the hair and is a nice start to the day.

Jordan on February 1, 2006 said:

Evening ONLY. I’m too feel “dirty” trying to get into bed without showering. I feel more relaxed after I’ve taken a shower and feel like it’s better to sleep on clean sheets. Plus, hair products are just gross to keep in overnight.

steve mcfarland on February 1, 2006 said:

Straddler from Evenings to Mornings.

I haven’t been able to get through nearly all of the above entries, so forgive me if I repeat what’s already been said, but I figured I’d at least add some hard data to the survey: I have been a life-long night showerer because my parents always showered in the morning and, though I had a bathroom all to myself (the glories of only childhood), the availability of water was always a problem. Also, I’ve never ever ever been a morning person, and have actually always prided myself on how quickly I can get from the bed to the door in the mornings – I like to get as much time asleep (at least at the tail-end of things) as possible.

Lately, though, now that I’m in college (undergrad) and time to shower is harder to come by (I know, I know… just like a LibArts student) and my old routine is constantly disrupted, I’ve found myself finding new rhythm in morning showers for some reason. I can’t say why – perhaps because it’s simply a matter of waking up earlier to find the time, rather than nighttime, where I’m now up as late as I can keep my eyes open, doing reading and writing essays. Nowadays I pack everything I can into the end of the day, the only way to find time for a shower is to start it earlier.

Roger on February 2, 2006 said:

usually in the morning, after breakfast, after shaving, after using the toilet, after brushing my teeth…..and in the evening if going out to dinner, movie or on a date

Daniel on February 2, 2006 said:

Je, je, good question. I am waiting for your explanation in next post.
My answer is Morning. Reasons? Same as everybody.
In case I feel dirty, I can also shower at night.
In Madrid we usually say “that man is so dirty he must shower everyday”...

adam on February 2, 2006 said:

In the morning, to wake me up. Plus I feel gross if I don’t.

Occasionaly, I’ll take an additional shower at night, but that’s usally just to relax.

Odd how something like a shower can serve two opposite purposes.

Harmony on February 2, 2006 said:

Always at night, usually right after work if I’m not going anywhere for two reasons – I hate blowdrying my hair and never have time for it in the morning, so if I wash it in the early evening it’s dry by the time I go to sleep.

Also it’s a good way of mentally detatching from the day, I just don’t feel like I’ve chilled out enough if I’m still in my work clothes by bed time.

Jamee on February 2, 2006 said:

Morning. Need it to wake up.

Scott on February 2, 2006 said:

For me it’s generally in the morning. My hair looks silly and my (lengthy) goatee is hard to manage otherwise. Also, as someone who abstains from coffee and other such beverages, I appreciate any assitance I can get with waking up. A shower in the morning usually helps.

During winter with its short days – morning showers . I wake up better and my hair is fresh for work.

During summer with its longer days – often evening showers as I go horseback riding/mucking etc after work and want to go to bed clean. And my hair dries well enough not to wake up with “bedhead”.

dave on February 3, 2006 said:

I shower in the morning, simply because if I shower at night and sleep on my wet hair it stands straight up in the morning.

Josh K on February 3, 2006 said:

Definately in the morning. I can’t get started without it. I also shave in the shower, saves a great deal of time and provides a better shave.

Jennifer Grucza on February 3, 2006 said:

Morning for me. Even after blow-drying my hair, there’s still some moisture in it, so if I sleep like that, my hair will have assumed some strange shape by the time I get up in the morning (and spritzing it with a little water will not help).

I always feel like showers are such a time sink. I hate having to take the time to shower and blow dry my hair (I have thick, long hair). It would drive me nuts to shower twice a day, every day. And I don’t know about other people, but I live in a cooler climate, and I just don’t get that dirty during the day.

Dorie on February 3, 2006 said:

Being a high school student who does not go to her home school, I have to wake up at 6:00 am on weekdays in order to catch the bus. So, on weekdays, I usually shower at night. I just don’t have the time in the mornings.

However, on weekends, I prefer to shower after I’ve woken up and eaten breakfast. It makes me feel more relaxed and helps to get my day off to a good start. Also, that way I’m not sleeping with wet hair. =)

Darien on February 4, 2006 said:

Showering in the mornings helps me wake up; in the summer I’ll sometimes shower in the evenings as well, if I’m feeling particularly icky.

As for why, it’s simple – I sweat a lot at night. In the summer, it’s hot and humid, and in the winter, I tend to bundle up, but the temperature fluctuates so much (my bed is directly on the floor, right up against two heaters) that I invariably get unusually warm.

I’ve contemplated showering twice a day (e.g. in the morning and after I get home from work or before I go to bed), but my hair can’t really take that and ends up a pain to manage.

Sam on February 4, 2006 said:

Occasionally both times. Morning never miss, because it makes me feel fresh. Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I’ve found a shower does help. The climate is a decisive factor. South India is mostly hot.

Graham on February 4, 2006 said:

I aim to do both, but generally miss evenings. Morning is a definite. Weekends I may go without taking a shower at all (how gross?).

I shower at nights as i can’t stand going to bed dirty. I like to have a really hot shower at night to wash the days dirt off me and then i also have a quick shower in the morning to waken me up. Personal hygiene and grooming is of the utmost importance to me.

Ted Pavlic on February 6, 2006 said:

I used to always shower at night just to give me more time in the morning to get up and running, but now I shower in the morning to wake me up and make me feel refreshed for the rest of the day. If I don’t shower in the morning, I tend to feel pretty grimey.

(however, every once in a while I’ll skip a morning shower for an afternoon shower if I’m running late and know I’ll be able to shower later)

Daphne on February 6, 2006 said:

Varies depending on whether I went to the gym the day before or not. Evening showering means I have a lot more time the next morning [v. good because I sleep in so much], but there are other drawbacks. The good thing is I can go either way these days.

Too cold on a winter’s moring to shower. I give my face a proper washing.

SUMMER TIME
2 min before going to bed.

If I feel a even a bit sweaty in the morning then I’ll jump in the shower

Mostly befort going to bed. Very warm and way too long.

I love to sleep as long as possible, so showering in the morning would cost me at least 10 minutes of sleep. :)

Morning.

Krissy on February 6, 2006 said:

In Summer I shower before I go to bed.
In Winter I shower in the morning and in the evening.

Beth on February 7, 2006 said:

I generally shower in late morning or early afternoon, after I’ve gone to the gym.

I take a shower to clean myself in the morning. It’s something I did to wake myself up when I was in college, now it’s just part of the ritual.

I take showers in the evening to relax. It’s part sauna part tub. I take my time here. Maybe once a month. Small bathtub = no long soaks.

After any sweating or before a social function. It’s just good manners to be presentable.

Both. At night to clean up before sleeping. In the morning to wake up and shave.

Morning, plus a quick rinse after exercise.

Mullen on February 8, 2006 said:

I shower at night. My sheets get gross too fast already. If I took my daytime slime to bed with me, I’d be sleeping in an oil slick in no time.

I generally shower in the morning, it helps me to wake me up!

artguy on February 10, 2006 said:

Shower in the morning during the week to wake me up before work (must be those negative ions). Occasionally in the evening as well if I did something grungy that day. Saturdays, shower in the evening because I most likely DID do something grungy during the day. Sunday is a morning shower to wake up before church.

Evening. I like to go to bed clean, plus it is a compromise w/ my wife who likes to shower in the morning. This way we each get our own supply of hot water.

Michael on February 13, 2006 said:

In the morning ofcourse – For two reasons – One being hair altough at the moment the 3mm i got isn’t a problem – But the main reason why showering in the evening isn’t nice is because while you sleep you will often sweat a bit(a lot if it’s summer) and you will be sleeping in sheets which is maybe a week old(if you are not insane and change the sheets every day). So to be clean you need a shower in the morning – But whats the problem, why not take a short shower in the evening and a longer one in the morning.

Daniel on February 23, 2006 said:

Wow, defnitly in the morning. It’s the wake-up call I need to get on with my day. Without a shower, my body/head just feel like they are still sleeping.

eKapa on March 14, 2006 said:

good question. i shower in the morning. sometimes i might shower in the evening, but that’s always followed by one in the morning.

Brandon on March 16, 2006 said:

In the morning. my hair, and it wakes me up. its also built into my routine.

priya on March 18, 2006 said:

i do not bathe for ten to twelve days …. i’m a professor … just an example of worst time management …. nobody wud believe …. i wear the same cloths for months together … i’m too lazy to wash them … too stingy to employ a servant or buy a washing machine …. is all this hazardous?... coz i’ve been like this since my college days n now i’m 30 ….

bob on March 26, 2006 said:

I can’t believe people can shower in the morning I think it is gross to go to sleep with dirt and stuff on you.Like the gym floor on your head from when you do push ups. I am a student and when one day we did a science lab and swabed different places one of them the gym it turned out that the gym floor had the most bacteria. ewwwwwwwwwwww. so thats why I shower in the morning.

Paul on April 1, 2006 said:

I shower in the evening. This is because of many things:

1) Because I like sleeping when I’m clean.
2) *I just don’t feel like getting up in the morning and taking a shower.
3) At night I’m not usually busy, so I have lots of time to take a shower. I like getting it over with, so in the morning I can get up and do my things right away.

The starred “answer” is the major reason why I don’t take a shower in the morning.

i dont shower at all…..or have a bath ;)

jk on April 11, 2006 said:

in da evenin cuz i jus cant get can barely get outta bed in tym as it is widout havin 2 fit in a mornin shower aswel!n plus if i wash my hair in da mornin it wil stay frizzy all day. so definately evenin showers!

Sara on April 26, 2006 said:

This is an interesting question, and the answers have been interesting too.

For me, it depends on if I feel the need to shower at night. If I feel clean enough to wait till morning, then I do. But nights like tonight, I just didn’t wanna go to bed without a shower, ‘cause I didn’t feel clean enough to wait till morning, LOL.

David on May 6, 2006 said:

evenings, i like to go to bed clean. but i have begun to realize that i compensenate the comfort for having bad hair during the day…oh well.

Dussel on May 9, 2006 said:

i take a bath in the morning everyday and take a shower everynight without wetting my hair.

lex on June 1, 2006 said:

I take a shower and wash my hair every evening. I do not even sit down on the couch after work before I shower. Can’t stand the idea of the germs from the train or outdoor in general transferring to my couch or bed. Sometimes I do a full shower in the morning, too. But I always do a quick “wash” every morning. Heck, I take a shower every time I return from outdoor, even if it means taking a shower three to four times a day.

Martin on July 5, 2006 said:

Both. I need to shower before bed so I can relax, and feel clean. Showering in the morning is even more important, you’ve just spent 10 hours sleeping, how can you say you’re still clean the next day? You’re not. To those who don’t shower in the morning, or don’t shower in the evening, try it, you haven’t lived!

Eduardo on July 7, 2006 said:

Morning and night…

Morning because I usually am too tired and I need the boost.

Night… well because I can sleep if I’m sweaty!

Erika on July 8, 2006 said:

At night, because I don’t get up in time to take one in the morning

Elque on July 8, 2006 said:

Has to be the morning. I’m a morning person (awake at about 4-5am) and the morning shower is the best wake-up call ever. I also take a shower after a gym workout or run. I sweat a lot so a showering after any activity (at the gym or in bed) is a must.

coze on July 12, 2006 said:

I used to shower at night (because my wife forces me to) but this summer, after nights of sweat, I decided I should stop it and have shower in the morning. Can somebody verify if having a shower at night makes you sweat more at sleep ? (especially at summer, and please consider that the shower I’m talking about is actually involves entering a hot japanese both tube as well.)

Wacky on August 5, 2006 said:

Night time would be my favorit time to take a shower because i hat mornings when its cold and usually iam lazy. At night i am a wake and preparing my body to feel great for a wonderful clean cozy sleep. :) love it .

Moringings are fine if you dont have time at night sometimes i will do that. :P

Kay on August 8, 2006 said:

I’m in the minority that shower/bathe in the EVENING. I can’t go to sleep with the residue from the day on my skin. I sleep so snuggly well when I’m clean. It’s also better for my skin not to wash off the protective oils before I venture out into the weather and environment.

marciea on August 31, 2006 said:

i take a shower at night before i go to bed but only because i have to….but if i had a choise i would take one in the morning before i head off to school because then i feel better and i know i wont stink…but when i take a bath i dont feel clean at all so i always take a shower

Connie on September 14, 2006 said:

I have showered in the morning since puberty hit 30 yrs ago. I feel gross all day if I shower at night instead. Living in Fla I sometimes take two showers during the summer or if I have to go somewhere important at night. I also have hair issues in the morning that are only cured by washing my hair.

Dazel on September 25, 2006 said:

Showering in the night…bc it puts a nice close to my day. Also I dont like the feeling of being all wet in the morning. Its just alot easier to do it when nothing is really hectic.

Jopo F. Fentax on September 28, 2006 said:

I gave up showering, it is not natural to me.

prescilla on November 10, 2006 said:

i usually take a shower every afternoon before i go to work… when is the best time to take a shower anyway?

Komarik on November 22, 2006 said:

Morning, it wakes me up and i feel crappy if i dont shower in the morning.

Joe C. on December 10, 2006 said:

I usually take a shower in the morning before going to work. I have serious hair issues if I do not (oily and unruly . . . not a good combination). Of course, on evenings when I am either assisting with or taking dance classes I shower both before class (ballroom = close contact) and after class.

Brian on December 17, 2006 said:

It seems like that majority of people prefer morning showers to evening ones. Do these people prefer morning sex to late night sex as well? I can’t really imagine having sex at night without me and my wife being showered beforehand…
