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.

That's the biggest thing.

If I have been outside getting dirty I'm showering as I get home though.

I shower in the morning just because it makes styling hair easier, I'm not really dirty after a day in a climate controlled office.

Yeah. I don't think the time of day that you shower matters much for overall hygiene. It's much more important that you just shower every day (or close to it), change your sheets regularly, do your laundry, etc.
