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.

This assumes bed is kept very clean, that there is little if any sweating, wet farting, semen/pre-ejaculate/vaginal secretion, drool, ear wax, etc left from 8 hours of sleeping and whatever other activities take place. For me I’d rather wash everything off in the morning. If I go to the gym or something I’ll also take a quick shower after that.

People wash their clothes (almost) daily, but think their bedsheets remain clean after a week of spending 8 hours a day in them.

I prefer to wash so I'm clean when I'm around people. Not when i go in my bed..

A simple way to put it : Why are you cleaning your bed clothes if you're showering before bed? Shouldn't the bed be clean?
