… plan your shower around whenever others plan to use it.
Night Shower:
Pros
-Saves time in the morning: You can sleep longer, and you do not have to worry about waiting your turn for the shower when you should already be on your way to work.
-Relaxation from the day: It’s therapeutic to take a warm/hot shower after a hard day’s work.
-Clean sheets: It takes longer to dirty your sheets if you shower at night. Think about it.
Cons
-Body temperature: The rise of your body temperature after a shower can disrupt your sleep pattern (this can work as a pro if the temperature-rise actually helps you sleep).
-Unfavorable hair: Wet hair may dry in peculiar positions.
How To Make It Work For You:
The biggest drawback for taking a shower in the morning is the time that it takes up. If you can’t picture yourself functioning without your morning shower, the solution is to take care of everything else that consumes your morning time…ahead of time. This includes things like: choose and iron your outfit the night before (my grandmother chooses her outfits for the whole week), put wallet/purse/bag/keys all by the door (or at least in the same spot every day) so you do not waste time locating them, etc.
For a night shower, the state of your hair the following morning is a big concern. To avoid this, shower at least two hours before you sleep, leading to a drier head when you sleep. Ladies: In order for your to look exactly how you want without showering in the morning, pin it up before you go to sleep. This keeps it in tact.
Keep in mind that showering at night has the ultimate pro because it cleanses your body from the filth of the day.
