Should you shower in the morning or at night? It’s a debate that’s raged on for decades. Centuries, even. The answer? Well, that’s what we’re here to find out.
There’s pros and cons to each. Let’s take a look…
Morning showers
Pros
- Invigorates the body and mind helping you feel alert and ready to tackle the day
- Washing off the sweat and oils you accumulate overnight can leave you feeling clean and refreshed
- Provides that necessary moisture for your hair if you style it
Cons
- They take a bit of time, which you may not have as part of your (rushed?) morning routine
- Stepping out of a hot shower into a chilly morning isn’t necessarily the funnest
Nighttime showers
Pros
- Can help you relax and wind down after a long day
- The drop in body temperature after a hot shower can signal to the brain it’s time to sleep potentially leading to better-quality sleep
- Taking them means you don’t bring any of the day’s impurities into bed with you
Cons
- You might find it inconvenient to shower right before bed, preferring to relax in other ways
- Wet hair could be uncomfortable at night or cause styling challenges in the morning
- If you tend to sweat at night a morning shower might suit you better
