But don’t get the soap in his eyes, it will make him cry!
I shower at night, right before I go to bed on the weekdays. On weekends, I sleep really late, then lounge around in my pajamas for a while, so I end up taking a shower around 1 or 2 in the afternoon.
As for bedhead, my hair is such a mess anyway that it hardly seems to matter. My hair is really short, like three or four inches all over my head, and it sticks out all over the place. (That’s why I cut it all off. It was such a pain to take care of.) Bedhead just means it sticks out a little more. It calms down a lot after I brush it.
Well, well, my reputation does precede me… 
I thought that was an old wives’ tale, that pneumonia was caused by bacteria or a virus. Not calling you an old wife or anything…
As for the OP, I prefer morning showers, because they do wake me up. However, I have a toddler and an infant and when I go back to work in a few weeks, I’m thinking I will have to switch over to evening showers, since there’s no way I’d be able to get everybody up and out in the morning otherwise. We’ll see how the adjustment goes, I guess.
Daily showering?
Once a week Saturday night in the big steel tub was fine with the hard working sweaty settlers wasn’t it?
I believe all the children reused the same water.
Well, then, I guess it’s no coincidence that I read your username as Unclean Gus, is it?
Ickily enough, your pores are expressing your body’s waste products amidst the oil and sweat all day and all of the night. So, I shower each morning and in the evenings before going out. And if that going out involved going somewhere smoky, it’s back in the shower before getting in bed. Sound like a lot? I have a pal who showers each time they have a BM. Not only then, though, don’t worry! eeewwwwww.
But those oils are there for a reason- they’re protective. Don’t you run into skin irritation problems with that much washing?
It would be nice to shower in the evening during the winter, because it’s so darned COLD in the morning (getting up before the sun rises sucks :mad: ). But I can’t do that because of the aforementioned bedhead problem.
In the winter, I like to shower in the evening because…I don’t know, it’s just me. I guess it’s because it’s so cold in the morning, like iwakura43 said. But in the summer, I love showering in the morning because I can go outside and dry off and enjoy the sunrise.
Are you talking about my skin or theirs? For me, I can tell you that the days where I shower more than once aren’t more than a couple times a week, I don’t go out all that often during the school term. Plus, as a woman in her thirties, I’m a moisturizing fiend.
As for my friend…I don’t ask nor have I ANY visual verification!
I agree that the oils are there for a reason, but they’re not alone; they’re accompanied by the chemicals your body has no use for and needs to excrete. For example, eat a bunch of strongly spiced food for a few weeks, and you’ll start to smell like it!
I’m a morning showerer because I have to blow-dry my hair and I don’t want to waste all that effort on a pillow.
I shower at night. My hair isn’t thick, but if I showered in the morning I’d have to get up way earlier to let it air dry. A hair dryer makes it all straight and icky looking.
Plus I don’t like going to bed all gamey.
In the summer I shower at night and sometimes during the day if it’s particularly sticky outside. There’s no better feeling than laying naked on your bed after a shower with a fan blowing on you when it’s hot and humid outside.
I have to shower at night, because I curl my hair with a curling iron every day-otherwise, it’s too flat and flyaway. You can’t use a curling iron on wet hair, and trying to shower, use a blow dryer AND a curling iron would be way too time consuming.
If I had my preference, though, I’d shower at night and wash my hair, then the next morning get up, curl my hair, set it in curlers, and jump in the shower for a quick rinse. (With a shower cap, duh). But that would set our water bill through the roof.
I can’t stand going to bed without taking a shower and washing my hair. Yuck, yuck yuck. By early evening, my hair starts to get really greasy and clumps together. Which reminds me-I’m off to hit the shower!
I shower at night. Always have. I don’t want to have to wake up even earlier in the morning to shower.
I like showering right after I get home for the day. Usually this is in the afternoon. It just seems right.
Oh man, do I hear that. I’ve been taking showers in the evening, simply just to have a minute to myself and to wind down. I can’t leave the house without taking a shower in the mornings though and I’ve been so busy the last few days that I’ve been taking two showers a day (actually, a shower in the AM and, when I have the energy, a bath after Alex goes to bed).
Previous thread on a similar topic: Thread. Oh, and here is another somewhat related thread. Ahhh, showers. Both of these threads have aged a bit, but I thought they’d be an interesting read for the people in this thread. 
I sometimes shower or bathe at night. In fact, I started filling up the tub right before I saw this thread. I usually shower before leaving the gym at 8 or 9 at night. So night baths are for non-workout days. But I do enjoy mornings when I’m already shaved and showered. For all the reasons night showerers have given above.
Bedhead is for all of you hirsute losers. You should do like I did and go bald before 30.
I shower at night to get rid of the day and any energy of clients that might stick to me,( I’m a massage therapist). I also shower in the morning to start the day,Nothing, absolutely Nothing, happens before coffee and a shower in the A.M.If I’m really busy I’m liable to change my t-shirt up to three times a day! What the hell, I’m already doing laundry every day.
I don’t feel dirty at all in the morning. I can’t for the life of me understand how anyone can wait until morning to wash off the dirt from the previous day instead of washing it off the night before.
I don’t really see a problem with skin cells and sweat as long as I wash my bed clothes enough.
