Shower at night for yourself, shower in the morning for other people.

There seems to be a misconception that showering at night, getting into a clean bed and waking means you're still clean... The truth is the majority of odours and filth come from you. Sweat, dead skin, other stuff...

These posts are always positioned as a binary, even when you can do both, and there's some nuance to it all.

Like, do you brush your teeth in the morning or at night?

But you haven't eaten anything in the night, right?

That's the logic on display here.

As long as people aren't keeping you at arms length, telling you that you stink, and your skin and hair is healthy, people should shower as they see fit.

Weekly? Sure. But morning or night?

[–] vanitasvanitatum@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I shower before I go to bed. This is the only right answer. I can’t imagine going to bed with smelly feet and armpits, yuck

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

ITT lots of sweaty sleepers spending 10 hours sleeping in a puddle of sweat and grease. I'd need a morning shower too if I was like that.

Normal people that are not covered in 10 hours of sweat when they wake up probably don't need a morning shower and trying to say that sleeping (without the copious amounts of sweat of you veritable faucets)is the same as spending 16+ hours moving and working and being around other people is really delusional. And what adult is getting 10+ hours of sleep on the regular? Y'all either live in some major privilege or don't have hobbies.

When i wake up, if i had a shower tthr night before, my hair is all rough and greasy and i need to shower again in the morning. So its more efficient to just shower in the morning. Saves water and electricity too.

You might need to wash your pillow.

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

You should be doing that anyways

As someone who inherited my German ancestors greasy ass hair, let me tell you it doesn't help. I'll take it over the dry but relatively brittle hair of my Scottish and Irish ancestors, still got the rusty red color and wavyness from em though piss easy to maintain.

I scrub with soap at night shower. Morning shower is just letting hot water wake me up and to wash my face, cause I've always been a messy face washer at the sink.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 190 points 2 days ago (16 children)

My hair all day since I shower at night:

I shower in the morning before bed cuz I'm a 3rd shifter.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Night showerers are gross.

Your skin and hair produce dead skin cells and oil. You wallow in that all night, and your bed gets continually dirtier until you wash the sheets, then you get up and go to work dirty in the morning. Your co-workers notice and make fun of you.

Morning showers are also what turns me from a coprse into at least the living dead.

[–] rezifon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

. . .and your bed gets continually dirtier. . .

Whose sheets are dirtier? The person who only climbs into bed once they're freshly showered and clean, or the person who takes their entire day's accumulation of dirt, grime, dust and pollen and climbs into bed covered in all that filth and gross?

[–] dieTasse@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago

Sure, it's better to wallow in other people dirt all day and then go sleep in that.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

This makes no sense. Is a body not cleanest immediately after showering? Why would morning showerers not be wallowing in skin cells and oil all night as well?

I cannot stand going to bed dirty. I always shower before bed. And if my day went poorly, and sometimes it did, fresh clothes and multiple showers during the day. But only once did I ever burn a set of clothes.

Pretty Prince Andrew behaviour ngl

Most of us sweat, I think if you plan to interact with another person, it's kinda basic decorum to not start your day with 10h of sweat on you already.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 82 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The pic could also be titled "evening showerers waking up in the morning".

But really, it depends on your job. If you work outside all day and get sweaty and dirty, you probably want to shower when you get home. If you show up at that job 12+ hours since your last shower with a bit of sweat etc. it doesn't really matter.

OTOH, if you work in an office with closed windows and lots of meetings, you probably want to be (and want others to be) as clean as possible when they show up in the morning. When you go home from that job at night, you're probably not particularly dirty and not in bad need of a shower. So, unless you want to shower twice a day, you might as well wait for the morning.
