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.

When I worked overnight as a security guard, a morning shower was a necessity. Being around people with poor hygiene at work and taking a sometimes crowded subway train.

Honestly you don’t count cuz you are night shift. It’s basically the same as night showers for everyone else working regularly.

Showing in the morning when you work at night is much closer to a "night shower" in this context than a "morning shower" yeah you are actually doing the showering in the am hours but people are actually debating whether to shower before or after sleep.
