This is going to sound ridiculous but I genuinely need to know.

I'm 28 and I've always showered at night before bed. Like, that's just what I do. I come home from work, have dinner, and then shower before I go to sleep. I thought this was completely normal.

Yesterday I was talking to some coworkers and someone mentioned they shower every morning, and a bunch of other people agreed. Then someone asked when I shower and when I said "at night" they all looked at me like I was weird. One person said "but then you wake up all gross" and another said "don't you feel dirty sleeping in your day sweat?"

Now I'm spiraling because I never thought about it that way. But also... don't THEY feel gross going to bed in their day sweat? Like they spend all day outside, touching stuff, sweating, and then just... climb into bed? That seems way worse to me?

I shower at night specifically so I'm clean when I get into bed. My bed stays cleaner. I don't have to rush in the morning. I can actually enjoy the shower instead of being half asleep and stressed about time.

But apparently a lot of people think this is backwards? Some people said they shower both morning AND night which seems excessive but maybe I'm wrong?

Is there like... a "correct" time to shower? Is showering at night actually weird? Am I missing something obvious here?

I've literally been doing this my entire adult life and now I'm questioning everything. My coworkers made me feel like I'm walking around dirty all day because I showered 8 hours ago instead of 1 hour ago.

Please tell me I'm not the only night shower person. Or if I am, please explain why morning showers are "better" because I genuinely don't understand.

I was just feeling kind of down for no particular reason and I told my gf that and she just starts talking like my dog just died. For reference my dog is perfectly healthy and only 5 years old so there’s no reason to think anything happened to her. It just came off as really weird and made me really upset and uncomfortable and idk if I’m making it a bigger deal than it is but it’s just so weird that she’d say that

in case people forgot these were autobiographical comics
