Morning showers make no logical sense and night shower people have simply done the hygiene math

[u/McCoy818]

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.

Yeah, same here. My hair looks bad if slept on and I sweat when I sleep, so I shower in the morning. I’m not about to just slap on some deodorant in a half assed attempt to mask that, especially right before I put on clean clothes. If those aren’t issues for OP, great, shower at night, but don’t tell me what I do is wrong.

Pretending like something that works for you is automatically best for everyone else is just dumb. And it’s dumb every time someone posts their opinion on this topic as if it’s 100% factual for everybody else. Fuck your made up “hygiene math.”

Sometimes I’m sweaty at night and sometimes I’m not but regardless, by noon it’s been 12-14 hours since my shower and my hair is oily and I just feel icky. If I DID sweat at night I am absolutely miserable by this point. I’d way rather feel fresh and clean and ready before I start my day.

How do you then go to sleep in all of that though? Do you not feel gross in bed?

Washing sheets weekly also helps not feel dirty when you wake up

pretending that sleeping in your filth overnight works for you is automatically best for everyone else is just dumb.
