In a Nutshell
Have you ever wondered if morning or night showers are better for you? Even if you haven't, maybe you hold a strong opinion on it.
While my opinion isn't necessarily the strongest, I typically prefer night showers over morning showers. There's just something about getting into bed smelling sweet and feeling fresh. On the other hand, I understand why people may want to take morning showers — I'm looking at you, bed head.
Keep reading to find out if there's really a benefit to showering in the morning versus at night (and vice versa). We also polled our team members for their opinions. Are you curious about what they think?

what's got us buzzing
The verdict is in (sort of)
In short, there's not really a "best" time to shower. Research hasn't dug into this topic yet, so you don't need to worry about aligning your shower with a specific time of day to reap health benefits. Either can be good for you, depending on your preferences.
Benefits of a morning shower
🥱 If you usually wake up groggy, a blast of cool or warm water might be a solid way to start your day.
🌼 Your body collects sweat and oil from your sheets, which a morning shower can wash away, leaving you as fresh as a daisy first thing.
🪮 A morning shower may be all you need to settle your tangled tresses or unruly locks.
Benefits of a night shower
🦠 Your skin comes in contact with many things during the day. Showering at night can help stop it from getting into bed with you.
🛏️ Your bedsheets will inevitably get dirty over time, but a night shower can help slow the process.
😴 Taking a warm shower or bath before bed may help you fall asleep faster and boost your sleep quality.
Where the Healthline team stands
"I need to be clean before I get into bed! Plus, it has become part of my nighttime routine and helps my brain recognize that things are winding down." — Sara McTigue, senior editor, Bezzy
"I need [a morning shower] to clear the fog and get my day started. Some of my most productive work ideas happen during that time!" — Heidi Smith, Real Appeal manager
"I usually work out in the morning, and a shower is essential after that." — Jill Campbell, editor
"I work out and walk my dog in the evening, so it fits better in my schedule to shower at night and wash away the sweat and grime from being outside! Plus, there is nothing like getting into a clean bed after a hot shower." — Victoria Torrez, senior influencer marketing manager
"I exercise most days, and I can't imagine getting in bed without having showered after sweating. I also like to go to sleep with wet hair in the summer (I know, I know!) because it cools down my core temperature, which helps me fall asleep." — Ginger Wojcik, newsletter editor
