Do you shower in the morning or night
I prefer night I have a much better sleep knowing am all clean for bed

Usually in the evening - I get dirty at work so like to freshen up. Although if I’m going out somewhere on my day off I’ll shower in the morning.

Rosebel · 23/08/2022 20:55

If I'm working it'll be the evening, I work with children so always end up covered in glue, paint or something. On the weekends usually morning.

maddiemookins16mum · 23/08/2022 20:55

6.30am every morning. Rarely in the evening unless it’s a heatwave or if I’ve been out for the day and then going out say for dinner in the evening.

Morning, can’t be bothered in the evening by the time kids are fed and in bed, kitchen cleaned, etc. I’m ready for bed by then! I don’t shower every morning though as not always time, but I’ll always have a full basin wash instead. Can’t understand people that don’t wash at all in the mornings after sweating, dribbling, sex etc. overnight. Ew. A couple of colleagues confessed the other day that they don’t bother washing in the mornings, not even a splash of water on the face. I wouldn’t feel clean for the day!

Morning. Menopausal night sweats.

Yeah, I shower twice on non work days.

Seems pointless showering in the morn when you're torquing a truck wheel in the pouring rain an hour later. Or in the plant room in full protective gear on a hot day with sweat beading on your forehead and trickling down your back.

Prefer evening but have to in morning as well as I work out. I hate it as it takes up so much time & I can never properly dry my hair. I've tried washing my hair at night & not after I train in the morning, just quick shower for my body.

Off now to have a shower while chivving children to bed at the same time 🙄

Flutterbybudget · 23/08/2022 21:00

Personally I like a shower in the morning - wakes me up and easier to wash my hair
and a bath in the evening - just to relax

AmberGer · 23/08/2022 21:01

I work part time
On my days off I shower every morning.
Work days (12 hour shifts) I shower before and after work.
I get very sweaty at work! 😂

Pyewhacket · 23/08/2022 21:01

First thing in the morning and again when I come off shift.

Berlinlover · 23/08/2022 21:02

Always at night.

murasaki · 23/08/2022 21:02

Morning, first thing after getting out of bed, even at the weekend. Sets.me up for the day. And is polite for colleagues and fellow commuters.

cookiecreammmpie · 23/08/2022 21:02

Both, I wake up sweaty and sticky regardless of if I've had an evening shower/ bath. And I like to be clean getting into bed, especially in the summer months there's no way I'm getting into bed sweaty.

RedRiverShore2 · 23/08/2022 21:03

Morning, if I had a shower in the evening my hair would be damp when I went to bed and I would have to have another shower in the morning so it looked ok

Morning.

But I'm intrigued about the idea that deodorant works better at night. How does it know what time it is?

You sweat less through the night. Ducts

Wavingnotdowning · 23/08/2022 21:03

Feeling terrible now. Does EVERYONE shower every day? No strip washes?😱

PeloAddict · 23/08/2022 21:05

Night
Finish work, get changed and workout straight away then shower

LunaLoveFood · 23/08/2022 21:05

I feel I can't wake up properly without a a shower in the morning.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 23/08/2022 21:06

Both

IsJohnReadyToMakeAComeback · 23/08/2022 21:06

Always evening.

Want my sheets to stay clean and if they are going to get mucky I want to shag with a clean body.

Pre covid, I generally did but since working from home I don't shower every day

Sparklingbrook · 23/08/2022 21:08

Morning and evening.

PrincessSpanky · 23/08/2022 21:09

Morning after a workout and at night too before bed.

I never have long showers, wet, wash, rinse and out. Do my hair in the morning, wash while conditioner is in.

newbiename · 23/08/2022 21:09

6am work days. Later mornings on days off.
Then about 9/10 before bed.

PrimroseWharf · 23/08/2022 21:10

Both but I prefer morning! I have a small baby though so currently it’s whenever I get a chance usually afternoon
