I shower in the morning for lots of reasons:
1. There are more chances (in my experience) of having a bad hair day when you shower in the evening and not the morning.
2. A couple of times after showering in the evening, I've had nightmares, woken up drenched in sweat, and had no time to take a shower. (I had a frantic "wash at the sink" though, don't worry, I wasn't going around smelling/looking completely gross.
)
3. If I shower in the evening, my hair begins to get greasy by the next evening. This is not convenient if I want to look my best for going out with my friends.
4. I like my hair to air dry, and I find that easier to accomplish in the mornings. In the evening, I feel like I have to wait around for forever before I can finally go to bed without wet hair. (Going to bed with wet hair makes for a serious bad hair day for me.)
5. I like to plan out my day in the shower.
6. I do my best thinking in 2 different situations: in the shower (at whatever time of day) and in the morning (once I'm awake, that is.) Put them together and BAM - I figure out the meaning of life (42
) or a great essay topic.
7. I really like the feeling of starting my day off squeaky clean.
8. If I shower in the morning, it means that I get up earlier and have more time to fully wake up. That means I won't still be half asleep during my 8:30 classes. (I tend to see lots of people that are half asleep and have clearly just thrown on some clothes and sleepily stumbled to class - this is not the best way to learn, but hey, at least they don't skip!)
9. Showers help me to wake up. This would obviously be convenient in the morning, and rather inconvenient in the evening.
10. Tradition. This may not be the greatest reason on the planet, but it's still valid. I shower in the morning because I've been doing so since I started showering as a little tyke. That was because my parents shower in the morning. That's because their parents showered in the morning. I'm not sure about my great grandparents though. Who knows? Maybe they were BATH people! Yuck!
