Hi, all my friends. All of us will take a bath in the morning before we start our activity. Of course, in the morning the air is still cool because sun haven't shine brightly. I always take a bath with cold water. But when it rained in the dawn, it will make the air colder than usual. So I choose to take a hot water for my bath in the morning or my body will feel tremble with the cold. So do you prefer to take a bath in the moning with hot or cold water ?

I prefer cold water to bath in the morning and taking a bath in cold water very early in the morning makes me energetic.

I always take a bath at night because my work starts at midnight and ends at brunch time so no possible morning bath but sometimes around lunch, i do take half baths. during my rest days, I rarely take a bath in the morning, usually by afternoon. every time I take a bath, it's always cold water. unfortunately we don't have hot shower her in my apartment and people in this town is not into it since we do have tropical weather here.

I only take hot showers. I almost always use up all the hot water too, so the family knows that when I take a shower that they will have to wait at least 30 minutes until they can take one themselves. I just cannot tolerate a cool or warmish shower. I have to have the hot water showering down on me. It is very relaxing especially on my back muscles.

i prefer lukwarm/hot because it is so cold in the morning right? and our body temperature at the morning is high, so when we use cold water, our body immediately adopts the temperature of the surroundings and of the water, and if this will happen, we might get sick throughout the day. so it is preferrable to use hot/lukewarm water when taking a bath in the morning.

Hi winzpc, before going to work I do like taking a morning bath to make me refreshed and energetic. I feel more comfortable to put on clean clothes on the thoroughly clean body. I love the smell left by the shower shampoo as well. I usually would take cold shower in the morning. If I really couldn’t stand the coldness of the water I will then adjust it until it attains the required temperature. I believe having cold shower in the morning could keep me healthy all the time. posting and have a nice day.

Hi winzpc, thanks for selecting mine as the best response. Oh yeah, I forget to tell you, I live in a tropical country where the weather here is quite hot, even in the morning, so we, people here like to take bath before having breakfast. We believe that to take cold shower in the morning could lower the heat of the body to keep us much healthier, for we like taking spicy food when having meals. Almost all the people here have the habit of taking cold shower after getting up in the morning. posting and take care.

I always take a hot shower or hot bath. I can't stand cold water to bathe in. It is too much of a shock to my system. I think that the hot water is very soothing and relaxing. Sometimes I have a shower in the morning but more often than not I prefer to take my shower at night before going to bed. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I prefer hot bath in the morning and even during nighttime...I always prefer warm water than cold. I think this is more relaxing. Of course before I end my shower I make it a point to splash some cold water. Skin pores are being opened with warm water so it is a must to splash some cold water after a hot bath in order to close the pores.

Me too. I sleep better after a nice relaxing hot shower smelling good, especially with clean sheets. That way if I have something important to do first thing in the morning I just need a little toileting, pop on my clothes, a little breakfast and I am ready. Saves me being late in the morning too.

For me... it is like i have trained my body to take a shower or bath without the use of hot water... whatever the climate or weather is... i just take the shower with whatever the temperature of the water is... but if i have a fever... than that is the time when i will take a warm bath... that usually helps get the fever down...

I am not used to having hot water in taking a bath even if I take a bath at dawn. I tried using hot water but I really don't like the feeling after the bath. We only have cold shower. There is no choice. I really like to take a bath with cold water.

Hot water in every morning bath. I just can't take cold water during morning bath, it makes me tremble with cold. I can't take it. Hot water shower is relaxing and is refreshing. And with that I enjoy my shower, unlike when it is a cold one.
