I think we should admit it. Using the shower in the morning often comes easily to most of us.
Most mornings, people fall out of bed, head for the bathroom and step in for a fresh start with a shower.
But imagine if we let you know that taking a shower later at night could help your life in many ways?
You might give me a funny look. In fact, many managers have had similar experiences.
A number of studies and really intelligent sleep researchers favor showering at night. This is why they work and making little daily changes could lead to better sleep, smoother skin and less stress.
1. It Readies Your Body to Fall Asleep
Has it ever felt so good to get out of a warm shower?
It relies on scientific fact.
Around 60 to 90 minutes before bed, a warm shower warms your body, then causes it to cool as you cool down after the shower. When you notice your heart rate drop, your brain says, “You can lower your stress now.” Queens, it’s now time for bed.
It is believed by sleep researchers that letting your body temp fall helps you build more melatonin. The result? It becomes easier to fall asleep and you do not wake up through the night as often.
Basically, taking a shower at night is as useful as taking sleeping pills.
2.You’re Cleaning Yourself from the Hustle of the Day
Try to consider all the things you meet throughout a day.
Dust. Pollution. Pollen. Sweat. Skin oil. Germs. Anything can go from those door handles and shopping carts and we don’t know what it is.
When you skip a shower before bed, you’re actually bringing those contaminants into your bed along with you.
Picture this scene taking place all through your sleep. For weeks.
By having a quick shower at night, you send the day’s sweat down the drain and also keep your bed, skin and surroundings cleaner.
3. Please farewell the days of dirty pillowcases.
If your skin is irritated or you have acne, the pillowcase can cause it.
Keeping your day’s makeup or other products from the day on your face, still moist from sweat and sunscreen, means, no surprise, you’re bringing them right back into contact with your skin as you sleep.
Showering just before going to sleep? You remove all your makeup before you fall asleep.
Cleaner skin. Fewer breakouts. Happier mornings.
4. It Becomes a Way to Let Go of Tension You Didn’t Realize Was Missing
You are fatigued at the end of your day. Your back is hurting. You’re feeling dizzy. You can’t get your mind to be quiet.
Take a shower in hot water.
Once the water comes in contact with your shoulders, something is different. You go slower with it. Calms you. Grounds you.
Warm water can assist in reducing cortisol which is the hormone that handles stress. You catch your breath deeper than usual. You become better at reasoning. You have hit a point where you feel… pretty good.
Just taking five minutes can change a hectic evening into a simple one.
5. It May Provide Relief for Those with Allergies (Seriously)
Seasonal allergies or even minor sensitivities can make this terrific for you.
Dirt and pollen from the outside stick to your clothes, skin and hair during the day. Keeping your makeup on overnight could make you inhale all the chemicals from your makeup.
Nighttime showers are easy and can help reduce nighttime sneezing, wheezing and congestion —especially helpful for senior adults with sleep difficulties.
6. It Will Help You Save Time in the Morning
The fact is, mornings tend to be very hectic.
You feel pressed for time to put on your clothing. Make coffee. Look for where you left your keys. Beat traffic. Taking a shower causes even more anxiety.
Instead of showering in the morning, wait until the evening and you will have a better start of the day. Go ahead and sleep a little while longer. Do not rush through the document. Breathe.
Making this one shift can save you a lot of effort.
7. You’ll Be Gladdening Your Hair
Heat styling? It can mess up your hair, mainly when you try to blow-dry while holding your morning coffee.
Air-drying your hair overnight after a nighttime shower is good for it.
Less heat. Less damage. Long-term improvements in hair health.
Try not to sleep with your hair completely wet after showering. Gently towel dry your hair or let it air dry a bit before styling, as Scalp irritation can result.
8. It Switches Your Mind Off for the Day
Having closure is important at the conclusion of a busy day.
Having a shower in the evening can switch your mind from active mode to sleep mode.
This happens when your body is telling you, “I can’t do this anymore.” Daytime is now done for the day. I am secure at this moment.
When you do this, your anxiety lowers and you get less restless thoughts when trying to sleep.
Joining soft lights, pajamas and an interesting book with your TV can turn bedtime into something you want to enjoy.
9. Your Bedding Will Not Get Dirty Quickly
Want to cut down on how many times you wash your sheets?
Shower before going to bed at night.
Avoiding bringing in dirt, oil and germs into your bed will preserve cleanliness and help you not have to wash sheets so often.
Adding these programs can also help cut down on dust mites and allergens in your bed.
10. Being Together in the Lounge Is Also Good for Couples
if you sleep in the same bed, taking a nighttime shower helps both of you feel refreshed.
People don’t look forward to sharing a bed with someone that smells like the city, intense workouts or used deodorant from a day ago.
Showering before going to bed is a thoughtful thing to do, along with having a closer moment with your partner. Sleeping will become a lot more pleasant for both parties. Talking will make you both feel happier.
Since you won’t be fighting over the hot water in the mornings.
Using nighttime showers isn’t only about moving your washing routine to nighttime.
It has to do with how you finish your day.
It means taking care of your body, relaxing your mind and getting ready for restorative and peaceful sleep.
Making this tonight will be a good way to start. Get into the shower, sense the steam and let the warm water remove the stress of your day.
It may occur to you that you would have started working out sooner.
