I shower around 6-7PM during the work week. I have a TV in the bathroom so I can listen to The News Hour while I shower. On the weekend I usually shower daily but can be at any time of day. ---

The very first thing I do in the morning after waking is to stagger from bed straight into the shower. ---

Mornings, every day. Shampoo twice a week, on my days off (Sunday and Thursday). Get up about 2 1/2 hours before I have to be at work. Play around on the computer for an hour and a bit, whilst eating breakfast and drinking my coffee, then shower, get dressed, make my lunch, feed the cats and rabbits, and leave for work. ---

Every morning. As soon as I get up. I get in the shower, soap everything, wash my hair, then shave in the shower. Water temperature varies with the season. On weekend mornings I might have coffee and something to eat before the shower. Once in a while things get hectic with trying to get things done and the kids and everything, and I don’t get to take a shower, and I hate that. ---

Right before bed. There was a time as a teen that during school breaks or weekends I’d shower in the morning, but I haven’t had the urge to do it since. ---

For various reasons, it’s no longer daily, which I would like. When I was able, it was every evening. I couldn’t stand getting into bed if I hadn’t had a shower. It just felt dirty. The biggest problem was if I showered after 7 PM or so, because if I slept on my hair when it had the slightest amount of dampness, it looked like crap in the morning, so I’d have to shower again for my hair. And it didn’t matter how much I tried to dry it, my hair held on to moisture after a shower and just got all puffed out of shape on one side, and flat and thin on the other. I haven’t got the faintest idea how it did that, but it did. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/when-and-how-often-do-you-shower/769850.md?page=4)
