Aside from the obvious benefits of looking well for the day and not having hair that’s stuck to your head, a shower in the morning can apparently help you if you have a stressful work week ahead.
According to Greatist, the shower is an ideal place to begin problem-solving for the day ahead, because it facilitates an “incubation period”.
“If you were to come up with a problem that you wanted to solve creatively, and you were working and working on it and couldn’t come up with a solution, then you could put it on the back burner of your mind and allow it to stew there while unconscious processes mull it over,” Carson says.

But there are other benefits associated with night showers.
For example, if you have trouble sleeping, a warm shower before you go to bed can regulate your body temperature and help your body get ready for sleepy time.
