Why Night Showers Are The Right Showers

Because I’ll never understand how people take showers in the morning.

Why Night Showers Are The Right Showers

You’re either one, or the other: you can only take showers before you go to sleep, or you can only take one in the morning before you start your day. Personally, I haven’t really come across many people who can sway either way (although I’m sure there are a bunch of you out there who don’t mind taking a shower at either time of the day). Most times, I come across people who are either passionately in favor of taking it at night, or taking it in the morning. It’s the same kind of passionate response I see when people debate on whether they sleep with socks on or off (and let me tell you, that is a very serious topic. It can make or break a friendship, folks).

But back on the topic of showers, I’m here to say that I am in hardcore belief that they should taken at night.

Yes, that’s right: night showers are the right showers. Now, don’t be gettin’ all up in my grill if you’re devoted to taking a morning shower. But, like, IDK how you do it. That’s crazy. So, here are my reasons why I defend late showers over morning showers (because the differences are like night and day)!

10. Showering at night helps you de-stress from the day

You would think showering at night would make you feel more-awake and make it harder to sleep with wet hair, but night showers actually feels really good! It's a lovely way to wind down after a long day.

9. Night showers means more time to sleep in the morning

I’m the kind of person that spends every possible minute in bed in the morning. Yes, I have my morning routine down to a science, and I’m not willing to get up a few minutes earlier just for the sake of a shower. No way.

8. It’s easier to go to the gym when you haven’t already showered that day

I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t imagine going to the gym after taking a shower. If that were the case and I took morning showers, odds are I wouldn’t wind up going to the gym at all. I mean, how does one do that? How can you take a morning shower, go to the gym, go about your day, and then go to bed at night, no shower included?

7. You can take all the time in the world

Since it’s nighttime, you have nowhere to be after this (aside from the loving bed that is so tenderly calling your name from your bedroom). Therefore, you can take all the time you want in the shower, no rush!

6. ...which means more time to think in the shower

I think most human beings have their best ideas in the shower. Isn’t that a proven fact? (probably not, but I jest). I don’t know about you, but shower-time equates to very important thinking time. And in the morning, I'm wayyyy too tired to use my precious time in the shower to think. Sure, you could be equally as tired at night and not think straight, but forcing yourself to think in the shower first thing in the morning just sounds like a cruel thing to do to yourself.

5. Nothing feels better than hopping into bed after getting squeaky-clean

Morning people, how in the world do you lay in bed at night without washing yourself of all the germs and grittiness you come in contact with during the day? Us night-shower-ers don’t need to worry about this. When we get in bed, we’re always nice and clean.

4. And always going to bed clean means you don’t have to wash your sheets as often!

Yeah, that’s right. Going to bed clean = cleaner sheets = less laundry. It’s simple math!

3. Morning showers means you start your day groggy and wet

No no, don’t gimme that “morning showers wake me up!” because I can get the same effect by splashin’ my face with water in the sink. If I were to take a morning shower, I’d just be like a dazed cat being thrown into water, and that’s not the way I wanna start my day.

2. At night, you have time to work on your hair after the shower

If you shower in the morning, not only do you have to factor in waking up early to actually take the said shower, but then you have to account for the fact that you need to make yourself look presentable after getting wet, as well. Who in the world has time for that?! No, sweetie. You deserve to sleep in.

1. Because there’s no better way to end your day than being naked and wet in nice hot water

Night-shower-ers, you know where it’s at. Nothing feels more relaxing than stripping down and getting all cozy warm in the shower before you hit the hay. You just can’t get that kind of satisfaction if you take your shower in the A.M.!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
