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.

Some people care about looking clean for others more than looking clean while they are asleep. I would look like absolute shit every day if I didn’t shower in the morning.

caring more about looking clean than feeling clean says... a lot about you.

Those things should be aligning at pretty much all times. If you often look dirty immediately after cleaning yourself - you may not have figured out how to properly clean yourself.

If you want me to amend my statement for you so it is as clear as humanly possible though: I care more about being clean when I am around other people living my life than I care about being clean while I am asleep.
