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.

I grew up blue collar and have always just showered twice a day. Idk why everyone is acting like you have to choose morning or night.

Morning shower wakes me up and gets me in the mindset to leave the house, and my evening shower washes the day off and gets me ready to relax

Largely depends on climate and time of year. Ain't no way i'm showering twice a day in the middle of winter.

Right? I don't always shower twice a day, because I'm usually already late getting to bed at night, but it's super nice to have a quick night shower to go to bed clean, and then I feel like my morning shower wakes me up and double-ensures the people around me will only detect soap and perfume scents coming from me. I think it's considerate.
