Showering
How often do you shower and when?

I just got interested, because I like to shower in the morning... because a) I'm not sleepy after it b) I like to be fresh from the beginnig of the day

The reason I ask this is because I have found out that many people shower in the evening... what's up with that? Then they say they don't have time to shower in the morning, so that's why they do it then.

What's your excuse?

I usually like to shower right before I go to sleep (as in sleep is the next thing I do). I do this because I like to be clean when I sleep. I'm still clean in the morning too. I don't understand how you people who shower in the morning can stand sleeping in their own filth.

If i'm doing any kind of physical activity during the day, I shower at night if not in the morning. So often I'll have two showers a day.

We don't have a shower, so I usually bathe 2 times a week, in the evening.

Every morning, and after every physical activity (and if you've seen the gym thread..). So basically twice a day, once in the morning, once in the evening.

Usually when I shower, it's some time between 1pm and 10pm...

I don't like showering in the morning... it makes me uncomfortable... and I don't shower later, because I always hears music when showering, which can desturb the neigbours...

6:30am, as soon as I wake up. If I go to the gym (ie, three times a week), I'll have a shower when I get home from that (around 4pm).

Well naturally I shower if I come from gym or something. Actually I usually take a swim after gym but anyway.

If not, then I don't need to take a shower in the evening. Where do you live guys? In the land of dirt? Though I see what you mean, for example in many places in the US, you get dirty because the air and everything is dirty. If I shower in the morning, I'm still comfortable and clean in the evening if no hard physical workout. But if I feel dirty, sure I take a shower.

You people are nuts.

I shower sometime before going to bed (not too long, so I won't get all dirty again) because I can't sleep feeling filthy.

I also shower after tiresome or physical activity, and as of recently I shower in the morning as well, since it's rather hot at night.

I can tell you stories about hygiene.

My parents did not even have a seperate bathroom in their home when they were young.

They used a tin bathtub to wash.

When I get up, I like to shower before going to bed ( hmm, coupled with clean sheats (sp?) ), but I completely awake after taking a shower so I don't do it often

I shower every evening, and I am suffering the indescribable horrors of unreasonably low water pressure.

Unless the shower head itself is clogged, I don't know what else to do.

MrFun, you're still battling low water pressure?! Well, I think my first move would be to replace the shower head and see if it makes a difference.

This afternoon, I will have time to see about the shower head and try a couple of suggestions from this thread.

I believe I will be able to give a full report soon.
