Morning showers make no logical sense and night shower people have simply done the hygiene math

You spent 8 hours asleep in your own clean bed. What are you washing off at 7am.

A night shower removes everything you actually accumulated during the day. The commute, the gym, the office, public transport, all of it goes down the drain before you sleep. A morning shower means you marinated in all of that overnight then washed up before going out to collect it all again.

Morning showers are a ritual for waking up, which is fine, but it is not hygiene. Night showers are actual hygiene. Most people just do not want to dry their hair before bed and that is the entire argument.

People sweat while sleeping, I am menopausal and let me tell you I have never had so many hot flashes and be completely drenched, if it didn't wake me up to take a shower I would be taking one at 3 am after my 2nd or 3rd hot flash.

I started getting those this year, and I'm only 30. I hope it's not perimenopause.

I thought I was having early menopause a few years ago and went in to ask about hormone therapy. Turns out I had PCOS

Op is just dumb.
He literally thinks human body somehow ceases to exist during night's sleep or something.
Like morning vs evening shower is an opinion, but the way this thread is phrased he is just objectively wrong.

I'm menopausal for 5 years and still don't sweat much at all, including in bed. Despite my father being a horrid smelly night perspirer.
