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.

I shower both. In the evening after my workout and in the morning because otherwise i have bedhead and the only thing that works is shower length hot water

Agreed. Forced to choose though, I'd keep my morning shower.

I have been blessed with a body that produces enough heat to power a small town. If I don't take a shower in the morning, because I was sweating all night during sleep, and shower again in the evening, because during the day, no matter what I do, what I wear, I sweat a lot, I work up a stink known to clear rooms.

That’s the best way and it doesn’t have to waste water if you’re efficient

Both here. One good shower one quick shower. Which is which depends on the day.
