Yup, me too for all of these reasons.
I’ve always showered at night, when I was in school, when I worked outside of the home, now that I work from home. I hate going to bed dirty, and there’s no way I’m taking 2 showers a day. That’d be 6 hours of hair air-dry time!
Always a shower in the morning. 99+% of the time
Shower in the evening most of the time in the summer, rarely in the winter.
Both my roommates shower in the morning, so night time works best for me. I also have trouble getting up in the morning so this allows me to get more sleep.
I try to get my showers at night. But if I’m feeling lazy or my roomie goes to bed early, I wait until morning. My sheets stay cleaner and smell better when I take a shower before bed, which allows me to go longer between linen washes. Plus a nice hot shower before bed helps me fall asleep more quickly. And then I don’t have to go to work with wet hair (I never blow dry or heat-style).
I sleep very, very warm (socks on even in the hottest night); I love to sweat in my sleep so it’s alway morning.
Bingo–though I generally go for both shower and caffeine in the morning. (Not coffee, though.) I shower both at night and in the morning. Given the weather here, I’m seriously sweaty at the end of the day for a big chunk of the year, and I don’t care to sleep like that if I can help it. If I had to give up one or the other, though, it would be the night shower.
I’m a guy, and I have to shower every day, in the morning, before work.
My hair is both fine and tends to oily. The result is that I wake up every morning with crazy-ass bed-head that is impervious to everything other than hot water and shampoo.
Seriously. It sticks up and out every which way. A comb does nothing. Neither does water, cold or hot. I need to wash it to get it to cooperate, no excuses or substitutions. Once in a while on the weekends I’ll just wear a hat, but I can’t wear a hat at work, so there you go.
If none of the options apply to you, your habits are not of interest to He Who Owns the Poll (in other words, you don’t play).
mmm
I love long, hot showers at night, but I have to save it for the morning (and skip the long part), 'cos by the crack of dawn I’m sweaty, smell bad and have terrible hair anyway. Doing both is not an option, since my skin can barely take a single shower per day.
I only recently moved to a day job, and getting up at 6am hasn’t been easy for me to adapt to. I’ve been showering at night because it’s easier for me to stay up a little later than to get up a little earlier. Also, since it’s winter, I’d need to blow-dry my hair before heading outside, and I don’t want to be waking my husband up with the sound of the dryer. So far, this routine is working for me.
Hmmm…I tend to shower every 1.5 days, and there is no option to select both mornings and evenings.
I voted guy-morning, but that was really only true when I worked in an office. Now that I work from home, showering is a semi-random occurrence. Morning, night, afternoon, after 2 days, whenever I have some time and the inclination, I shower up.
Guy, always shower in the morning (because I’d feel greasy otherwise), always shower after sweat-inducing exercise; only shower in the evening if sex may be on the agenda because it does seem to cut down on cystitis in my SO.
Work at home person here, so my hours are pretty much what I want them to be.
Can’t go to bed even remotely sticky or grungy. I sleep much better if I’ve showered or bathed beforehand. If I go to bed with a wet head - which I try really hard not to do - I also have to re-wet it to bring the resultant chaos under control.
You forgot the option for whoresbath.
Night sweats (thank you, perimenopause!) + sleep with a dog + I have tons of long, thick, easily tangled hair = wake up with dreadlocks. And no, it doesn’t matter if I bind my hair up in a bun before bed or sleep with a ponytail or whatever… my hair tangles up into dreads, so it has to be conditioned/detangled every morning.
The only exception is if I’m waking up go to straight to the beach, in which case, I’ll put the dread up in a ponytail, cover it with a baseball cap, and detangle at the post-beach shower.
That, and I hate going to bed with wet hair.
I shower at night. I loathe getting up in the morning even one second earlier than absolutely necessary (I’ve never eaten breakfast for this reason) and I’m a night owl, so it works out. I hate getting out of bed and knowing I had that extra step of showering, drying hair, etc. that adds at least 30 minutes would make it that much worse.
Shower at night for two reasons:
-
I do not like going to bed dirty. You morning people must have disgusting sheets.
-
I don’t like getting up earlier than I have to.
This is exactly what I was going to say, but without the insult to “morning people.” If one has environmental allergies, as I do, it is better to keep the sheets as clean as you reasonably can. Otherwise you’re just spending the night lying in all the allergens that accumulated on your skin and hair during the day.
And I am almost always 5 minutes late in the morning no matter when I wake up.
