Hello mylotters, I always prefer to take a shower every morning after I am done with my household chores. But there are times too, that I take shower on late afternoon, especially when I have to go out to attend seminars or go to church. How about you guys? What is the best time to take a shower? And why you prefer to have it in that time of the day?

I like to take showers at night. It's easier for me in the morning because I really like to get out of the house quickly and head straight to school.

I remember when I still studying, taking a bath/shower is the first thing I do after I wake up. I don't go to school without taking abath even on rainy season. :-)

I take my bath at night when everyone else has went to sleep. It's very peaceful and relaxing for me and I can go to sleep much easier. In the mornings we don't have time for everyone to bathe before heading out the door.

I have not tried that, and even not thinking about it. Thanks for your response :-)

and no one will disturb you also... So peaceful it'll be isn't it? In the mornings you will not get time for a leiasurely bath, so will be a rushed one as everyone will be heading for the bathroom.. All in a rush to go out .. So night time is the best, but that is possible only in the summer time..

I always take a shower every morning and evening. If the day is really hot, during summer, i can take shower in morning, evening, and midnight before i go to bed.

I remember my niece, the first week she was here, we have to watch for her always, because she took a bath thrice a day. In the morning, at noon and in the evening before she sleeps. She is used to taking a bath, because her mother who is my sister always let them take a bath during those times. But here at home, with folks around, they will scold us if we will let my niece go to shower many times a day. she is in fact still 5 years old just yesterday.

I usually get up in the morning, clean the house, give my son and I breakfast and then toss him in the tub. When he's done in the tub, he usually goes and watches TV in my room while I have my shower. I feel really dragged out and tired if I dont have a shower first thing in teh morning :)

That is what I am doing too. I usually cook food for breakfast and then take my nieces to bathroom to take a bath. Soon start cleaning house. Then we will decide who will wash the clothes, if my sister will do the washing, I will do the cleaning of the kitchen. If we are all done with the chores, I take a bath.

I have been known to take showers at different times of the day...I think that the best time for me to take a shower is in the morning because you need to get awake and whne oyu have water hitting you that will do it...and at night after a long day i dont really feel like standing up any longer so I really think the morning is the best time to get a shower..its makes you more alert for the rest of the day in my opinion.

I like to shower at night because I am not a morning person at all. When I shower at night I can wake up and get on with my day without having to worry about the hassle of getting clean in the mornings. If I need a shower and have somewhere to go during the day I will generally get one before going out but I prefer to have gotten one the night before.

I think we are the opposite, I am a morning person. I usually wake up early even though I sleep late, so I would want my bath in the morning. :-)

I prefer to take a shower in the morning or in the afternnon. It depends of the day. But in the night I love to take a bath. I will not take a bath during the day because for me a bath is for relaxing. Well I have to admit that even after a shower most of the time I feel sleepy and relax lol

I prefer to take my shower or bath in the evening about a couple of hours before I go to bed. That way, I do not have to go out with damp hair, and I just lounge about in my kimono and either myLot, go on the internet, play games, play the organ, or watch Tv. My hair looks horrible after I first shower, so I have to wait until I look at least a little decent.

For me, I prefer to take a shower first thing in the morning. Depending on what the weather is like and what I have to do later on that day, I might take more than one shower in a day.

I like taking a shower in the morning it makes me feel fresh and ready to take on the day. If I am unable to take a shower b/c I woke up too late I do have to at least wash my face. All that grease that is on your face when you wake up you could fry an egg with.

I religiously take a shower morning and night. Except if I am not feeling well. I take a shower two times a day. It makes me feel so clean and relax.

I used to take my shower in the morning right after having breakfast and at night before going to sleep. But it started to change when i became freelance and work just at home. If I'm just to stay in the house for the whole day i stick to early morning and before bedtime schedule but for those days that i have to go somewhere, i would usually shower just before leaving because I want to get dressed and fix myself right after shower when i still smell of bath soap and lotion. And again another shower before going to sleep so as to feel relax and refreshed after a tiring day.

I take one when the chance arises! Haha, but yeah. Sometimes I'm too tired in the morning to do so, or know I have to get up early the next day, so I take them at night. I've taken a shower at 1AM just because it was the only time.

Woprking men and women, school /college going students prfer to take showers by morning, so that they look fresh. Only those women who have plenty of household work prefer to take showers in the afternoon. It is a question of convenience rather than any set rule.

Well, I Take my bath before going to work. Then after work I go to the gym and take a shower. Sometimes when it's so hot I shower as well..I think the best time to take a shower is before going to bed..It makes you feel more comfortable going to bed clean and fresh. :)

I used to like to take my shower first thing in the morning so I could be fresh for the day but now I am working nights and my schedule is all messed up. The best time for me to take a shower now is some time during the night before my husband gets home from work.

I prefer to take a shower either late morning or early evening during regular holidays because I got traumatized taking a shower early morning because I got sick when I did that even when I used warm water.During the summer,I take a shower anytime.My country only has two seasons so I have a fixed routine on my body.

My decision during the week depends if I need to wash my hair, LOL. Since I perm and color my hair it is dry so I don't need to wash it everyday. So usually if I need to wash my hair, I will shower in the morning. If I can skip washing my hair, I will take my shower the night before.
