^^ I believe I happily am blessed by a shower or bath in the morning, either directly after I awaken (on a University day) or after Breakfast, on a break day. ^^ This is due to the fact that I possess happy long hair and be becomes happy and greasy during the night, and feels nice and fluffy when I wash my hair in the morning.

Both. One in th morning and one at night. The morning one helps me wake up and the night one helps me relax. In the summer, I practicaly live in the shower.

I take about four (or more) baths/showers a day and they usually last for at least 30 minutes.

I also take showers/baths in the dark because I can't take both the light and the water being on me at the same time.

As a child I would curl up in the bath, completely underwater, in the dark, and breathe through a straw. I felt safe there, away from noises, sights and other people.

My shower has been broken the past few months, but when it is working I shower in the morning because it wakes me up and hair always sticks up in different directions when I get up.

At the moment, I have a bath before I have to go out, and at other times when I feel stressed as I find baths very relaxing. :)

Always in the morning, before work. If it was very hot out or I perspired a lot during the day, I'll take one at night too.

I prefer to shower/bathe before bed. It makes sense in helping to keep sheets clean. Also, it helps wind me down in the evening. My mornings are much to busy to throw in a shower, so the evenings are also more convenient.

I find it impossible to shave my legs standing up without falling over, LOL.

The original topic: I shower at night all the time. I can't go to bed dirty & I don't shower in the morning to save water.

I shower at night for the following reasons.

1. You get dirty during the day. Sleeping while dirty = yuck.

2. I sleep better in a clean body.

3. By bathing in the evening (or right before bed) you keep the maximum amount of dirt and oil from getting into the bedding. This means less often you need to do linens, and they last longer. You also avoid that BO stench the bedroom can get from just one night of a dirty body in the bed.

4. Along the lines of #2, clean skin won't trap dirt and oil all night. I knew a guy with horrible body acne in college, I told him to start bathing before bed every night and put on clean sheets. In a week it started clearing up.

I normally don't shower in the morning, but if the need was justified, I will. It harms nothing to bathe more than once a day.

I used to do that too, although I hated it when water seeped into my nose. What a horrible sensation. :eew:

Morning.
Hair gets matted while asleep, not to mention that I find laying my head of wet hair down on a pillow feels gross. I can't see the point of showering before bed.

Usually in the morning, but if I am feeling particularly scummy I will take one before going to bed. I cannot stand not having a shower. If I do not get one, I feel terrible the whole day.
