Shower - AM or PM ?

[Folkeandstone]

Just posting for traffic.

When do you prefer to shower? In the morning or in the evening? And around what time do you shower?

YABU - Morning when I wake up
YANBU - Evening before I go to bed

Evening if I am washing my hair, morning if I am not

Both. I’m a hot sleeper so always want to freshen up to start the day. I shower at night because I feel grotty if I get into bed without a shower.

Same

Depends if I’m working. Evening if I am

Same as @TheFlis12345. But if it’s an evening shower I need to be done by 7/8pm or it’s too late for me. Well, in my head it is anyway!

ideally both, but in and out in 2 mins

Evening and into clean pj's. I have wavy hair that has to air dry.

Morning, but I wish very much I could get into the routine of an evening shower. I’m not high functioning in the morning and always too tired, it would be great to get up and go without the shower faff. Bedsheets stay cleaner for longer too! And I bet an evening shower helps relax for better sleep. I’ve just always got too much to do every evening.

Evening. What’s the point in getting showered in the morning, and going to bed after collecting a whole day of perspiration, bacteria and dirt. Go to bed clean, wake up clean.

Morning, wakes me up and start the day fresh and clean.

Showers are highly stimulating and wake me up. It's in the shower that I transform from shambolling neanderthal yeti creature into confident capable professional working mother who can meet DCs needs, run a household and have a glittering career whilst not feeling overwhelmed at all (yes obviously all of these are only done in a haphazard ineffective way half the time but fake-it-till-ya-make-it). Meanwhile in the evening I just sink into exhausted slump and don't move any more than I have to. A shower in the evening would totally spoil the process of winding down towards sleep. If I have to get clean in the evening I either shower earlier than 8pm so there's plenty of time to wind down afterwards (but usually far too busy then with suppers and bedtimes) or I'll have a nice relaxing bubble bath.

Evening, everyone else I know does it in morning and thinks it's gross to go out without showering.

I think it's gross to go to bed with the days dirt and sweat on you.

I also think showering in the morning contributes to the number of people who delay getting dressed - the ones who do the school run in their pj's. I get up and get dressed before leaving the bedroom, job done. If you have breakfast before you shower, then are running late and have to get the kids to school or straight onto your laptop to wfh it's easy to see how the shower ends up being at lunchtime.

Obvs of there's sex during the night I'll shower in the morning. Maybe my friends just do it every night....

Long answer - I see no point in showering in the evenings as my dog sleeps in my bed, shes not allowed to sleep in my bed so she waits until I fall asleep and creeps in, I never kick her out though. I live alone, I change the bedding more often and shower in the morning so I see no harm.

Short answer - Mornings

Depends what I’m doing that day. If I’m running later in the day I’ll shower afterwards. If not, in the morning.

have a shower before bed so when I am getting in my pjs and bed I’m clean!

Bit of both, depending on what else is going on.

Morning all year round but during summer morning and evening. As an aside I fucking hate baths - bleurgh - just laying there in your own filthy water - fucking gross 🤮

I usually shower in the evening and have a bath once the house is empty during the day.

Evening or lunchtime if I'm WFH

Definitely in morning as I need to for work. Am single at the moment but also in evening if I'm.in a relationship in case of any action🤣

I like both but mainly stick to mornings out of routine, to wake up and freshen up. I like evenings too to be fresh and relax after a long day and to wash my hair so it's bouncy and wavy in the morning.

Shower in the am. Occasional bath in the evening or Sunday morning. In the summer I shower morning an evening of its hot

Evening because I want clean PJ's and a clean bed. Can't imagine taking a days grime into my bed 🤢. Also allows my hair to air dry im lazy I wash as part of my kids bedtime routine and then lounge in my dressing gown watching TV etc before bed.

Oh this is interesting… I assumed everyone showered in the morning. I always shower in the morning but will have a second shower before bed if it’s hot or I feel a bit sweaty

I shower when I get up on a morning and I have a bath in the evening.
