I'm a golden showerer. Rated 5/5

EDIT: I have just been informed that doesn't mean what I thought it meant

    My hair all day since I shower at night:

    If/when I shower at night, I just need to soak my hair in the shower, scruff it a bit, then towel dry. Then I can comb it out and style it as if I just took a fresh shower.

    I'm a guy though, with relatively short hair. If I had long hair like this photo, it'd probably be a rat's nest in the morning and need a full shower to fix.

    Still seems better than bringing street grime into your bedsheets daily?

    I don’t wear my street clothes to bed.

    Besides, I sweat like a pig in my sleep for some reason, so there’s no point in bathing first.

    I live in the United States, so a doctors appointment is like $600,000. i’m not buying my doctor a yacht just so I can get an answer to a simple question.

    I will just deal with sweaty sheets

    No need to feel sad. I wake up at 3 or 4 AM anyway. I’m one of those weirdos who sleeps in two distinct periods. 11-3, 3:30-8

    I just smoke a bowl, check Lemmy, change my clothes, put down a towel, and go back to sleep.

    After 20 years or so it’s become a routine

    I've been a night showerer and a morning showerer throughout different periods of my life. These days I'm actually closer to a lunch showerer - which I realize isn't practical for most, but it's the superior method if one showers only once a day.

    When I’m working from home, I shower like… occasionally. I’ll shower after exercise days, but if I’m just going between my computer and bed for days, there’s no reason to shower unless it’s been so long I’m getting itchy.

    Because your body naturally produces things you need to clean, it's like 75% of the reason you do it. Eating stuff just speeds up the production of bacteria. Give your breath a smell as you wake up in the morning before you eat anything, it reeks.

    You should brush your teeth in the morning whether you eat breakfast or not.

    The way I always heard it from multiple dentists is "if you want to keep your friends brush in the morning, if you want to keep your teeth brush at night, best is both."

    Dentist never heard of a mint?

    Also I thought morning brushing was about teeth because most smells are on the tongue not the teeth unless there'd an abscess or something.

    Does everybody brush/scrape their tongue every morning?

    I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I do.

    Eating a mint to deal with bad breath seems like the equivalent of a 15 year old boy dousing himself with Axe body spray to deal with their BO. It doesn't solve the problem, it just temporarily masks it, and usually to a lesser degree than you think or hope.

    Because the bacteria in your mouth thrive in dry conditions, and a majority of sleepers are mouth breathers. The bacteria in your mouth are what destroy your teeth and give you bad breath.

    Edit: I just saw you said Yes to after breakfast. I don't know if it matters when, just don't make night time be the only time you brush.

    Yeah, I think I was underestimating how many people are habitually skipping breakfast. That seems like a bigger issue to address than whether you shower before or after the least active part of your day, if I’m being honest.

    For me it started with not breathing well through my noses so my mouth would taste awful when I woke up from being all dry and weird. Then it became an excuse to get my ass out of bed and moving.

    It's reasonable for most people to hit the Carlin-4 twice a day. If not for social reasons, then for health and hygiene.

    Dentists say we ought to brush twice a day, morning and night. My dentist once told me that if I'm only going to brush once a day, then it should be at night. You don't produce as much saliva while sleeping, and that creates a better environment for the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Brushing at night removes the tiny food particles that bacteria feed on, reducing the likelihood of developing tooth decay and gingivitis.

    We then brush again in the morning because the lack of flowing saliva overnight causes a buildup of other bacteria that feeds on mucus, which is the cause of "morning breath".

    I shower 2-3 times a week in the middle(-ish) of the day.

    Showers make me sleepy so can’t do early mornings. I have very long, straight, and thick hair that takes hours to air dry, and refuse to use blow dryers, so night is right out else I end up with a really shit bed-head curl situation..

    The sweet spot is mid-morning or around lunch, when I get sleepy anyway, given an hour to half-dry, then put up in a french clip bun, so when I take it down for the evening, it has a nice open curl. I never use the pretty, but it makes me feel very pretty at night.

    Yeah, and I've also tried stuff like conditioner washing (co-wash), mostly when I did fun dye colors, to preserve the color. But my threshold to feel gross is honestly low enough that my hair feeling nasty is my shower habit trigger, else I simply wont do any self-care. So while it’s technically an option, it’s not one that works with my self. :D

    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.

    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.

    That's fair. I was wondering because I have fine hair that gets greasy fast, but for some reason using a silk pillow case and washing it every few days (both my hair and the pillow case) has helped immensely.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This was my exact thought too. Sometimes I think I’m the only person on Lemmy that doesn’t have an office job. If I did morning showers, I’d supposed to be spending my evening and night drenched in sweat and who knows what else from work? Doesn’t sound very pleasant.

    I run the kitchen section of a grocery store so I get what you mean. I come home covered in grease every day and usually other food stuff too. A couple days ago I had a full case of soup explode on me, that was fun to try and clean. Thankfully it was refrigerated, not hot, so I didn’t get burned, but still, had to do the last couple hours of my day in very dirty clothes and the floor wasn’t super easy to clean either.

    I know much of Europe is in denial about air conditioning being great. But seriously...why suffer? Even funnier is how many commercial buildings have it, or how it's used in cars or other transport, but for some reason home is off limits.

    If you aren't European, my apologies for the mistaken assumption. That's just the only group I ever see hating on air conditioning like it makes them better than other people. Or that their suffering suggests anything about their moral character. If it's not possible for you, then I'm sorry to hear that, and that really sucks.

    Well, the majority of people on the planet don’t live in that kind of environment.

    So since every single person varies, some people don’t really get too sweaty or have noticeable BO. The majority of the smells associated with BO are produced by bacteria that live on our bodies.

    That said some people are putrid after a day or two. The problem of nose blindness comes into play here too.
