Morning or night? It’s one of the most debated bathroom routines out there, but according to sleep researchers and wellness experts, the best time to shower might depend entirely on what you want to get out of it.
If you’re struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, switching to a warm nighttime shower could make a surprising difference.
Time reported that research from Shahab Haghayegh, a sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, shows that a warm shower taken one to two hours before bed helps align your body’s temperature with its natural circadian rhythm. That drop in core body temperature signals to your brain that it’s time to wind down, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
