CPW - Bathing habits

[CaptainLeela]

Usually in the mornings, but about twice a week I'll shower before bed instead (or in addition to the morning shower).

[kj808]

Every night. I like feeling fresh and clean when I get into bed.

I love the feeling of a morning shower, but I have to shower at night for two reasons. One, it's hard to predict exactly when the kids will wake up, so to guarantee my shower I'd have to get up at like 5:30 when I might get to sleep in much later. No thank you! Two, every time I've set my alarm to take a shower in the morning, my idiot morning-self makes up some excuse as to why a shower isn't really as necessary as getting 20 minutes more sleep.

I usually shower in the morning because it wakes me up and allows me to wet my hair so it doesn't look funky. Sometimes if I need to go to an evening event/meeting like bee club after a particularly sweaty afternoon workout I'll shower at night.

I love night showers! For one thing, I feel refreshed and cozy after washing the junk of the day off, and I think it helps me go to sleep better. For another thing, my hair is so thick that it takes forever to dry, and I don't have time (or the desire) to blow dry my hair... and I just don't want to spend the entire day with a wet head if I take a shower in the morning. Especially in the cold weather. Additionally, I cannot bring myself to wake up early to shower. I always prioritize sleep over showers, ALWAYS

Morning. Usually during DD's nap around 10am.

Unless I do something to make myself exceptionally dirty or sweaty, I only shower every 2-3 days. You're welcome, humanity for helping conserve fresh water. I fit in my showers wherever I can. Morning if I wake up before DS, Afternoon if I sneak in while he's napping, and evening if I didn't manage either of the other two.

I work from home so I usually shower every 2-3 days unless I sweat in my sleep, then morning shower.

This is exactly me. Pre-kids I always took morning showers, but now DDs wake time varies between 6:00 and 7:30 and I know the sound of the water running would wake her up anyway. So night time it is.... I hate wasting my nights in the shower when I could be doing productive things, but I do like getting a few extra minutes of sleep in the morning!

Days off - Morning Shower
Working Days - I shower once I get home from work (evening). It is a must when working in peoples mouths all day, uck.

Are you a dentist or hygienist or dental assistant? Sorry, I just got excited reading "working in people's mouths" since I'm a dentist and can totally relate.

I am also a every other day showerer. I also shower at night. But with class and work my days get to be sometimes 14 hours long and there's no way I can find another hour to shower that day.

I'm a night showerer. I have a ton of thick hair and it takes forever to dry, so it works better if I can wash it at night and let it air dry for awhile before I blow dry. There's no time for that in the morning.

Am I the only one who read the title "Bathing Habits" and though of what nuns would wear to swim?

[marygracerich]

I shower in the morning. I am not a morning person so I cannot interact with people without a shower and some breakfast. I am a monster when I wake up. I dont know how DH lives with me.

I never ever shower at night. It's not good for my hair or anyone who has to look at me. I love starting the day with a shower. I feel so much better and love having that clean feeling.

[lolacachia]

I don't work outside the home, so I just shower whenever I feel a desire to. Mostly evening but sometimes midday.

[katietopaz]

All about the night showers here, and I only wash my hair every 2-3 days. I usually straighten my hair so washing it at night and letting it air dry seems to help it lock in moisture and not dry out. Depending on the weather, I can sometimes get away with rolling out of bed, lightly finger-combing, and letting my naturally wavy/somewhat-curly hair be without any product.

I feel weird about going to bed dirty (insert innuendo here) which is another reason I love night showers. Plus I don't know if it's just my sheets or what, but they feel awesome after a shower, so there's that.

[purpleroses]

I work from home but always shower in the morning. I guess I'm just a creature of habit and this is what I have done for as long as I can remember. Luckily, DS wakes up at around the same time every morning, so I get up an hour or so before him, depending on whether I have to wash my hair (which I don't do every day). I'm concerned this plan may not work as well when we add a second child into the mix.

Haha oh nice!!! That's awesome. I'm a hygienist!
