Menopausal night sweats But don't you sweat during the day, too? I guess a little but going to bed a little less than fresh doesn't bother me like going out to work would after sweating in bed. Don't you sweat in bed?

I voted 'night', but that's not completely correct. I rarely 'shower' at all. I'm a bath person, and only shower when a bath is not an option. A nice soak in a warm tub is so relaxing, and I don't like taking the day's 'dirt' to bed with me at night. This is me too. And I'll add that I hate being rushed in the morning.

No, I don't sweat in bed. But then I set the thermostat to 65 and put the fan on high every night. Or in the summer when I'm still hot I'll sleep surrounded by ice packs. I just can't stand the thought of touching my sheets without being completely clean. Whereas I wouldn't care so much about going out into the world not being completely clean. The world isn't clean but my bed is.

I checked no set time, but that's not entirely true. I prefer to shower at night before bed because it makes it easier to get going quicker in the morning, but I *don't* like going to bed with wet hair because it will dry all wacky. So, I tend to shower my body at night and wash my hair separately in the morning. However, as I've gotten older and the "night sweats" have become the occasional issue, I will sometimes shower in the morning too if I got miserably hot the night before. And LOL, But don't you sweat during the day, too? It's not the same. I'm not at the point where I have hot flashes (yet, ugh) so I can't speak to that, but night sweats are an entirely different animal. I might get a little warm during the day, but not workout sweaty over the course of an average day. If I'm having night sweats my shirt is literally damp from my neck to my waist and I have to get up to change it in the middle of the night. It's so uncomfortable it wakes you up. Thankfully it's not even a weekly thing for me so I can deal for now. If it gets to the point where I have to sleep on a towel or it becomes a regular thing, that would be really bad and I would see what I could do about that but I'm pretty sure then I would have other issues too.

Usually at night. I grew up taking a bath/shower at night. Plus, I now work out in the evenings, so I need to take a shower before bed. I hate going to bed feeling dirty or sticky. I am also not a morning person, so I stay in bed as long as possible before having to go to work. I do take showers in the mornings once in awhile, usually when I have a lazy day at home and not doing much.

The world isn't clean but my bed is. I will shower at night too if it's been a hard day but I'm not overly fussy about my bed being pristine - I'd rather not have people thinking I smell all day. You might find you have to add a morning shower when you get to the perimeno stage because believe me, you'll probably sweat then if you don't now!

Night time. I like to get all the crud of the day off before we snuggle up nice and clean in bed.

Morning. I have to wash / style my hair every morning if I want it to look presentable for work. On the weekends, I may leave the shower till later if I'm going to just be doing errands or hanging around the house because I can just put my hair up in a ponytail and/or put on a ball cap. But if I'm going out in 'public' anywhere, I need to shower in the morning so I can wash my hair. ETA: if I've gone to the health club or worked out in the yard and gotten really sweaty then I'll shower when I come inside from doing that. Even if I've done that, though, I'll shower the next morning again when I get up. And we'd never be able to afford keeping our thermostat at 65! Plus, I'd freeze my butt off at that temperature. lol! Our A/C is set at 82F at night during the summer and the heat is set at about 68F during the winter, so our house is set fairly 'comfortably' but not really cool / cold or warm / hot.

always in the morning but if I run a lot of errands during the day or work in the garden, I will take another one in the afternoon or evening just to refresh.

Question for those that shower at night .........
What at do you do with your hair? Doesn't your pillow get wet? And getting wet, and lying on the bed all the time, doesn't it get moldy?
I quite like the idea of showering before bed, but I don't want a wet pillow, and I don't want to blow dry my hair every night. Are my fears groundless?

My hair isn't dripping wet. It's not like leaving your pillow out in a rain storm. It's the difference between rubbing up against something that's wet versus actually standing under flowing water, kwim? Big difference. Personally, I have very curly hair and I wear it curly. I "plop" my hair. It's a way to style my curls by drying them in a soft cotton tshirt wrapped around my head. There are great you tube videos explaining it. But even before I started plopping, my pillow didn't get wet. There are no watermarks or mold or anything on my pillows. It just isn't a problem.

I used to shower at night and get my hair wet in the morning. Curly hair required complete wetting each morning. But now I'm bald so I shower whenever. I really do prefer to get into bed all nice and clean. My husband showers right after work because he gets gross at work so I usually shower later, right before going to bed.

Menopausal night sweats But don't you sweat during the day, too? Do you remember right after having babies how sometimes you would just start getting sweaty-out of the blue and profuse? The kind that makes even your hair damp? Nightsweats are similar. Night sweats can have you so hot that you are ripping off clothes, standing in front of the freezer wishing you crawl into the ice machine and stay there. I live in what some consider a pretty warm environment and will sometimes perspire when I am outside, but night sweats are on a scale that is like gentle gulf waves to a tsunami.

The timing of this thread is funny-I switched it up yesterday. I always shower in the morning - its part of what wakes me up, and traditionally my hair doesn't do well overnight. Yesterday was a day when I couldn't get going and never left the house, so I didn't shower. But, I changed the sheets - so just before bed I took a shower without doing my hair, and then got up this morning and took another shower and washed my hair.
One thing I will do in the warmer weather is wash my feet off before bed - not only gets them clean, but cools them off and it's easier to sleep.

As to the question of sweating during the day: I work in an air-conditioned office and I'm usually cold all day long. I'm only outside walking from my car to the office in the morning and from the office to my car in the afternoon. If it's sunny / hout enough outside that my car is beastly hot inside, I'll turn on the A/C to cool it down before I drive home; or I need the A/C for the entire drive home, if it's hot enough outside. And when I'm home in the evenings I'm inside just 'doing stuff' around the house or relaxing... No appreciable amount of sweating is involved with my day-to-day living at all, unless I'm at the health club or doing a particular outdoor or indoor cleaning project.

Both. I shower to wake up and I shower after I run in the evening. But I am under no illusion that my bed is pristine because I've washed off the day. I have sex in my bed and don't hop back up to shower or put clean sheets on the bed afterward.
People smell when they sleep (no one on this thread though). Have you ever walked into a closed up bedroom after people have slept all night? Gag. Beds and pillows are full of skin cells and dust mites, etc. I smell people sometimes standing in a line somewhere and think, they didn't shower this morning. They smell like a pillow. It is completely true that we are the last to smell ourselves.
Again, I'm sure no one on this thread smells. I'm talking only about other people and their beds.

Usually in the morning, though I will shower before bed if I'm particularly scuzzy from a run that day.
If I don't shower in the morning, my only hairstyle choice for the day is a ponytail. I have wavy/curly hair and it looks insane when I wake up in the morning. There's just no saving it without a shampoo.

I shower at night. I don't like getting into bed with a days worth of dirt and sweat on me. I don't sweat at night so I don't really have that issue. I started doing that when I would have to get up shower and get my son to the school bus stop in the morning. I don't like to blow dry my hair so walking to the bus stop with we hair in the middle of winter was no fun. Now I roll out of bed, brush my teeth and my hair, get dressed and I am good for the day.

It depends on the time of year. In the cool months, I'm good with taking a nice warm shower in the morning. But in the warm months, I often take them in the evening, because I spend all day slathered in sunscreen & bugspray. Plus, we're just out and about getting filthy all day, so a cool shower feels wonderful before bed. Plus, it helps my allergies if I'm not bringing a bucket of pollen into bed with me at night. Many days in the hottest part of the year, though, I wind up taking two. Because all of those great reasons to shower at night still exist, but if I wake up feeling like I've been perspiring all night long, I still want a super quick shower in the morning. I know it's wasteful, though, so as soon as it stops being absolutely freezing out, I shut the water off and on while I'm in the shower to conserve water. So I get my hair wet, but then shut it off while I work in the shampoo. Then I rinse it out, and shut the water off while I wash my body. That kind of thing. I rationalize that I'm making it a bit better that way.

Question for those that shower at night ......... What at do you do with your hair? Doesn't your pillow get wet? And getting wet, and lying on the bed all the time, doesn't it get moldy? I sleep on my stomach. A more real question would probably how I haven't smothered myself over the years, because I basically sleep with my face crushed into the pillow.

Night. Alway did it as a kid and continued on. Also, my hair is curly and if I shower in the morning I would have to blow dry it and then straighten it. At night, it air dries so I only have to straighten it. Works for me!

It is medium length, and I let it air dry for about an hour before blow drying. I live in a semi-arid climate. But I also don't wash my hair every night, usually every other night, or after a workout. My niece got a moldy pillow because she has really long hair, washes it at night, goes to bed with it wet, and lives in a humid climate. UGH!!

As an empath, all the energy I absorb through out the day makes taking a shower after that the perfect way to cleanse it all away so I wake up feeling rejuvenated in the morning. That's the norm time, but on occasion I will shower at no set time or before the rise of the full moon so I can take that energy to bed with me
