They now recommend showers at night as a sleep hygiene measure. Apparently, when you take a hot shower, it causes your body to drop its temp later in response to the shower, and having a cooler body makes it easier to fall asleep. So, maybe it is a good thing you prefer yours nightly.

Took another shower this evening and it felt so good! I usually avoid washing my hair, but I got in there and did it tonight and it felt amazing. I should try and wash my hair at least once a week. Topped it off with my luxurious Elizabeth Arden Green Tea body cream, and now just relaxing.
It really feels good to shower every night. - I agree with you @Tart Cherry Jam I tend to fall asleep faster when I do shower at night it's true. I feel really fresh and comfortable in the covers, and I am definitely a lot cooler. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

I took a shower yesterday the 17th. My hair is so pretty after a blow out.
It had been a while....I get into the shower when my hair looks awful. That is the only reason I shower. I know that sounds gross but I am being honest here. __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

Took my nightly shower, felt pretty amazing. I am so glad I take my showers at night - a lot of times I don't feel like it, but I force myself to.

This morning I took a shower and washed my hair. Was so tired from not sleeping well last night so I went to back to bed with wet hair, and got some more sleep.
I take multiple things to get to sleep so it must have been the late night drinking. We were listening to 3 University bands and traditional music and I drank like a fish. I am pretty sure that it was the alcohol that did it. sigh bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

We have been talking about it one here for ages.
Finally an article about it How hard it is to do hygiene routines during depressive episodes.
