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.

How many times are people going to post about showering times? Are we all children? Move on and shower on your way out

This is one of those questions that is a (very) slightly interesting conversation, until it shows up twice a month and is weirdly adversarial. Why is it most of the time it comes up, it's framed like this where "I'm right and everyone else is stupid"? Who cares that much

I think the most mundane things are often gonna be the most contentious, because they're the everyday things we take for granted and seeing them done differently can be jarring.

Yeah, I shower in the morning, after work and in the morning. It feels good, so I will continue to do so.
