Shower At Night Vs Shower In The Morning
85To Shower Now, Or To Shower Later? - That Is The Question...
Is it better to shower at night or in the morning? Personally, I do both, but which is the best way to go? Let's have a look see...
Showering In The Morning
Alright, we wake up half asleep, grumpy, still tired... coffee doesn't seem to be working, so we jump in the shower and ta da! Problem solved. But when you think about it, you were gonna wake up eventually anyway and now you're all clean, ready for the day ahead, only to get smell an hour after your shower! Is showering in the morning really worth the effort? You may be surprised to hear this but shower doesn't actually wake you up, it will actually relax your body and prepare it for sleep. I use to shower in the mornings when I was still at school but that has all changed now. I do still shower in the mornings on occasion, especially if I am due to go to work soon after - don't wanna smell, do we?
Showering At Night
Well, I try to shower at night now-a-days. I do this because I know I'm not going to get all hot and sweaty (well, on my average night - lol) until the next day at work so there is no real risk there. This means I will remain clean until work the next day and I won't have to get up earlier in the morning to make sure I'm showered and ready to go. I prefer it that way, but I'm not what you would call a 'morning person' so go figure. And, as I said before, a shower doesn't wake you up, it will just relax your body and prepare you for sleep. This is a good thing for insomnia sufferers.
The Verdict
Anyway, I think that depending on what you are doing, what day of the week is it and what the weather is like will determine the best time to have a shower. Maybe you don't shower in the morning or at night (but I do hope you shower in the afternoon instead). No real point in worrying about when you shower so to speak. Everybody has their own preference, we are all individuals.
But in my opinion, showering at night is the best way to go. So next time you are deciding whether to have a shower at night or in the morning, think, "Do I really wanna waste my time in the morning having a shower when I'm only gonna get all smelly an hour later?"
Please don't hesitate to share your opinions! :-)

im sorry but no.. showering in the morning is better... you lose thousands of skin cells at night and you don't wear deoderant to bed so you sweat during the night especially in summer and in the morning you wake up all grose... if you shower in the morning you clean yourself of sweat and dead skin cells and are cleaner for longer throughout the day... i dont care if im not clean at night because im sleeping and then i dont have to change my sheets everyday and wash my pajamas everyday... i personally shower in the morning because i like to be clean and smell nice... i would feel grose if i had a shower at night and not in the morning.. i also like to be clean when im putting on clean clothes in the morning
Interesting debate! I'm kind of with Giselle on this one, (and I hadn't even considered the dead skin cells and night sweat!)
I feel a bit unclean and grimey if I get up and go through the day without having showered that morning. And I do find that showering helps to wake me up (as well as my cup of tea - but not at the same time of course!)
It also warms me up. I'm often cold (which is part and parcel of living in the UK!), but when I am it's really difficult to get moving; so a shower thaws me out nicely and helps me to get on with my day.
I actually agree with you , showering in the night is SOOO much better: why?
Because , really , what`s the point of showering in the morning if you are going to get dirty and disgusting afterwards anyways ? AND you have to go to sleep taking with you all of that day`s sweat and dirt in your skin - that`s that causes pimples , not cleaning the dirt and sweat from your skin so that when you go to sleep , your skin can 'breath' and the dirt doesn`t like go into the pores on your skin .
Besides , if you are getting sweaty at night , then use LESS blankets or turn up the AC in your house ! And yes , you do loose thousands of (dead) skin cells at night , but you loose a lot in the morning too - everytime you touch your skin , when you scratch it , when your clothes rub against it .
If you can`t sleep with your hair wet , then shower right after you get home ! Or a few hours before you go to bed or even blow dry your hair . Blow drying your hair is actually good for your hair - especially in the summer: it holds in moisture , it makes your hair shine if you apply constant heat in the same direction - it smoothens hair cuticles .
And yes , I shower at night .
My wife and me, shower at night So we go to bed, vey clean and relaxed. For health reasons, I really don't know wich one is better, but for us Night is the best
I have to take a shower at night if i want my hair to be voluminous. When I wash my hair in the morning, they look kind of dead. They're not voluminous AND the texture of it is so off. But the thing I hate about showering at night is that if you have curly hair, you'll end up having laskerdgleakgnelarkgn-kind-of-hairstyle in the morning that you HAVE TO do something with it.
both isbest
i like at night its best. I get tired after I take a shower n sleepy.
i never know what to do with my dried out, curly, and shortish hair in the morning !!!!!!! ah hellppp!
I shower in the evening. What's the point of showering in the morning, other than to smell nice for others? Get some deodorant, people!When you shower in the morning and go out, you're immediately dirty again! Think about the amount of germs that are outside in comparison to your BED! You go to bed dirty when you shower in the morning, rolling around in germs! It's purely vanity.Showering in the evening cleanses you of all those horrible outdoor germs so you go to bed CLEAN, don't have to change your sheets as often or wash your night clothes as often. Yes you may sweat and shed "dead skin cells", but you do this throughout the day and they're in your CLOTHES all day anyway. Just not logical showering the morning, not logical at all.
I like a hot shower in the morning...I find it wakes me up and I feel refreshed. I'm going to add a 30 exercise routine just before my shower so a morning shower is essential. If I have a long, hard day of work then I change out of my work cloths and have a quick shower.
i like night showers, i love going to bed after a hot shower and feeling all clean and fresh =)
night showers clean away all the dirt and sweat from the day, when you're actually doing the most activity, and i defnitely feel more dirty after being out for a day than after i wake up. morning showers sometimes, maybe in summer or if my hair is greasy
I think that showering in the morning is better because people who shower at night get lung dieseases and you feel refreshed in the morning unlike people who shower at night. I can't stand that people who shower at night don't rinse themselves in the morning Disgusting!!:(
This is ridiculous. Ok so you're going to get up, exercise, and go througout your day smelly? Assumming you exercise, which everybody should.
If you take a shower in the morning, it's refreshing you for the day ahead, so you're not walking around stinky.
Putting deoderant on your armpits after they've been sweating all night is NOT a good idea..eww.
You feel grimmy. When you wake up you feel nasty, regaurdless if you've taken a shower the night before or not.
Ok, so say for example, what if unexpectedly, your boyfriend say hey lets hang out after you get off work, so you guys go out till all hours of the night, but your boyfriend wants mess around...and what, you didn't take a shower that night..so your going to mess around with your guy after not taking a shower? I don't think so.
The only thing you could do is rush home after work, take a shower REAPPLY your make up and do your hair all over again. haha thats just stupid.
Taking a shower ensures you'll be clean for that day, even when unexpected things come up!
Geez if you REALLY need to take a shower at night, take one in the morning and take a 5 min rinse shower at night.
@Amber: Do you sweat so much during the night that you actually feel nasty and dirty when you wake up? I guess in that case you should take a shower.
Shower at night, it's the best. Just make sure your bed clothes are changed every 2 - 3 weeks and you wear clean PJ's and you won't wake up smelly.... it's a extra 10 mins in bed!! :-)
I prefer showering at night. I'm a teen, so I'm naturally more awake a night, and less likely to wake up early enough to shower in the mornings. I like to let my long hair air dry against my pillow, and it takes a long time to blow dry it anyways. Plus, my hair is so frizzy that no matter when I take a shower, it has to be bone dry in time for me to flat iron or curl it. That means that I have to be up almost an hour early to do what I could easily do in my free time the night before. I don't think showering in the morning is wrong, it's just really inconvenient for me. :/

@ cleansleeper, no, I EXERCISE IN THE MORNING. I refuse to get sweaty from working out and just putting my clothes on!! That's sick. You have to start your day off being clean.. you will get made fun of walking around with built up arm pit juice and a smelly butt..sorry but it's the facts.
Amber: Its good that u exercise in the morning. in that case u shld definitely take a shower. bt wht abt those dudes who dont work out in the mornings? i work out only in the evening. so a night shower works best for me. simply put, take a shower whn u'r sweating the most. if it's in the morning, do it then. if not, at night! it's that simple!!!
i don't possibly see how any would sweat during the night? o.o
maybe its me because i shower at night and my hair is wet but i'm never sweaty. I'll shower in the mornings on occasions but i prefer showring at night. I don't want to sleep in my filth. that's just disgusting.
and i don't see how people say that waking up after showering at night is disgusting? no its not! the only thing i feel disgusting about in the morning is i HAVE to brush my teeth or else i feel gross, but showering and night is not gross! going to bed with germs is!
maybe its just based on how we were raised as a kid, even though i'm still 13. i've always taken a shower at night and that's why i'm so fond of it. if i shower in the morning i feel my shedule is off and unorganized.
Morning. Because it gets rid of the dead skin cells, also if you're worried about showering in the morning and sleeping in the days worth of sweat/dirt producing blemishes then you should either buy some cleansers or shower twice a day...seriously it's not that hard to think of. Also it's better for the hair if you shower in the morning, it causes less frizz and the material on your pillow can't damage it.
I prefer showering at night. I like taking long showers, and I don't want to get up early in the morning. I have REALLY thick hair too, so I just don't have time to blow dry it every morning.
The only problem I have with showering at night is, if I don't dry my hair well, it's all weird-feeling in the morning.
A Night At Sahara West Vegas (Almost) Gets What It Paid For
I don't see the point of waking up early to take a shower. Sure, I won't smell fresh and flowery, but I don't stink if I take one at night. I just use deodorant as soon as I get out the shower the night before, then reapply the following morning. (a touch of body spray helps too ^_^)
I normally wake up about ten minutes before I leave for school.. (Yes, I'm a teenager ^-^") I don't wanna mess up my schedule for a shower.
And really. Sleeping in your own sweat and grime? Ew. That's repulsive >.>
But I must say, I do shower in the morning when it's hot. My house has very little insulation, and it's bleh.
... Why am looking so far into this!?
Eh, this discussion is pretty old, but still I shall add my two cents!
I really do not think it makes that big of a difference of whether you shower in the morning or night, it all depends on your schedule, really.
As most teenagers probably would chose, I shower mostly during the afternoon/night because getting up that little bit earlier in the morning sucks. :D I've just finished school, though, so I'm not sure how my showering schedule will be. I generally just shower whenever I feel I need to. Also, I generally take a long while in the shower, and come from a family of 8 so showering at night is a better option for me as if I end up using all our hot water, it doesn't do any damage because it is reheated over night ^_^
Also I do not exercise at all, really (Unless you count running around and cooking and cleaning for my family, seeing as both my parents work and I am the oldest). So the only time I get all hot and sweaty is the occasional bad night sleep or when I'm sick of which I do shower in the mornings.
Again, this just gets down to whatever you do with your life!
This is a JOKE!!! For those of you saying showering at night is disgusting - take a look (and smell) at yourselves. You are sleeping in your own filth every night. How often do you change your sheets??? you may as well wear the same undies every day of the week (without washing them). For those of you who sweat profusely during the night, I can't imagine that you DON'T sweat during the day when you're actually doing something active. you'd sweat more a shite load more durin the day than at night and then you sleep in it??? Sweat and grime from work, public toilets, shopping malls, food, feacal matter and urine... and you sleep in it...
Now I have nothing against morning showers. I like the odd morning shower, especially if it has been a hot night and I feel a little sweaty. However, the feeling of waking up smelling and feeling like I've just stepped out of greasy onion poo bath just isn't for me. night showers are for clean people. morning showers are for the insecure.
shower both at night and in the morning....
problem solved :)

Then it's a waste of water. lol.
Can't prove this sorry, but I read somewhere that showering in the morning is a health hazard.
both is good... but the truth is... you dont have to visibly see sweat to say im sweating. As long as you drink water, you will sweat when you are asleep, your body reacts to any warmth it feels. Then more importantly, when you sleeps certain hormones associated with rest and growth are released, you need to remember your body does wrok when you are sleeping. So your pours secreet some odour, and naturally, i would have thought one would want to wash it of.So imagine the state of your armpits in the morning, let alone other areas we really dont want to talk about...As such, it is vital you shower in the morning. At night is good, but not vital. As a last note, ever wondered why in hospital, health professionals get their patients washed in the morning? Think about that and if you honest with yourself, you will shower in the morning, then at night too if it bothers you that much.
Showing at night is simply better. because your bedding stays cleaner and fresher. Plus, if you are in a relationship, how intimate would you want to get with someone who has been working all day, using public restrooms, and doing whatever else and then they hoop in the bed and says lets get it on. Yuk! Lets get in the shower!
Okay, you guys are sating: "What's the point of showering in the morning if you're going to get dirty after?" That is true, but when you shower at night, you still will be dirty afterward, and get more bacteria whilst sleeping even if you don't think that. So, in my opinion, showering in the morning would work well if you want more cleanliness.
I have personally had a tough time deciding which shower (morning or night) is better. But I have to say that showering at night is way more convenient. You produce so many germs and sweat and bacteria during the day that it's REVOTLING!!! Agreeing with Taryn, you go to school, the mall, public restrooms, urinate and excrete, and eat. Then you are going to decide to take those germs to bed with you. How DISGUSTING!!! I believe you produce more germs in a day than just sleeping for about 8 hours. In the morning just brush your teeth, use deoderant, and maybe body spray. You're not going to smell like a COW if you don't take a shower in the morning. It used to bother me too so I took a shower in the night and a quich rinse in the morning. It's much more fresh and you will sleep more soundly. HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF, GOING TO BED WITH A MILLION GERMS, ESPECIALLY FROM PUBLIC PLACES. THAT'S JUST TOO DISGUSTING!
Night time is for what? sleep, have good rest you body and mind. if I am tired I go to bed right the way. The bed is for have good rest. if you still have energy and want to do something hahaha,, then take a shower, you know...... but the main purpose of bed is for sleeping.
Hi, shower very wake you up, I want to sleep at night time after very hard day's work, I don't want to wake up again. so for those people who work all day and fell tired, morning shower make more sense.
Giselle you would feel gros living with the MINIMAL sweat you have from sleeping yet lie in your own filth from an entire day of sweating and whatever else got on you? You should change your sheets more often if you shower in the morning because you are going to sleep dirty every day. And I believe not rolling around in all of the sweat (and whatever else I encountered) from my remaining 16 hours of my day not spent sleeping is a lot less gross than 8 hours of clean sleeping.
I usually shower at night of course! During the day you get in contact with a lot of other germs and filth such as on doorknobs, handles, people coughing or sneezing in the air, dust/air pollution (outside and in from air conditioning) and you're going to take all of that with you when you sleep in your bed for hours... Besides you sweat more in the day..can you say that you don't sweat with the sun out and you're walking around? Or if it's not sunny and it's cold, you're still walking around more. At night, the only thing you do is sweat a little when you turn on your side or something.
