The impact of morning showers on productivity and health
Morning showers can be an ideal way to start the day. According to research conducted among more than a thousand respondents, those who shower in the morning are generally more satisfied with their lives and health. Specifically, 78% of respondents who shower in the morning feel happier and more satisfied with their health, while 83% believe they are more productive throughout the day. Morning showers help remove sweat and bacteria that have accumulated overnight and can aid in waking up faster and preparing for a day full of tasks.

However, not everyone is enthusiastic about morning showers. For instance, 28% of people who shower in the evening report feeling less drowsy during the day. Morning showers can also be beneficial for those who engage in physical activity in the morning, as it provides a sense of freshness and cleanliness right after exercising. Thus, morning showers can become a crucial part of the routine for those seeking a quick way to wake up and feel productive throughout the day.

Benefits of evening showers: better sleep and relaxation
On the other hand, evening showers have their own significant advantages, especially regarding sleep quality. According to research by the Sleep Foundation, showering before bed can help relax the body and mind, preparing you for a better night's sleep. Warm water soothes the body, and the cooling process after a shower signals to your body that it's time for sleep. However, it's important not to shower immediately before going to bed, as this may raise your body temperature and make falling asleep more difficult. The optimal time for a shower is about 90 minutes before bed, allowing the body to cool down and prepare for sleep.

Evening showers can also help remove impurities that have accumulated throughout the day, including environmental pollutants, which can be particularly beneficial for skin health. Additionally, for those who like to end their day feeling clean and relaxed, evening showers can be an essential part of their nightly routine.

Which is better: showering in the morning or evening?
The final decision on when to shower depends on your personal schedule, lifestyle, and preferences. If you’re looking for a way to wake up quickly and increase productivity, morning showers might be the right choice for you. On the other hand, if you need a way to relax and prepare for a good night's sleep, evening showers might offer those benefits. There is no universal answer, and the best approach is to experiment with both options and find the one that suits you best.

Ultimately, it's important to find a routine that works best for you, whether it involves morning refreshment or evening relaxation.

Magazine editorial office

The magazine’s editorial team brings together authors who have lived with stories, aesthetics and creative processes for decades. Here, texts are created and shaped by experience gained through years of work in journalism, but also by a personal passion for design, lifestyle, fashion and entertainment. Every written line comes from people who closely observe the world, with respect for detail and an understanding of how trends evolve, disappear and return in new forms.

Our editorial team believes that good magazine content must have a soul — a tone that guides the reader through the topic rather than overwhelming them with facts. That is why we write slowly, thoughtfully and with an emphasis on atmosphere. Whether we explore the world of interiors, shifts in fashion, new ideas in beauty or compelling stories from everyday life, we strive for every word to convey a real experience, not just information.

At the center of our work are people: those who create, those who inspire and those whose stories lie hidden beneath the surface of everyday life. We love to look behind the scenes, to discover processes that aren’t visible at first glance, to feel the energy of places and objects. We write about icons and trends, but also about the small things that shape our routines, about creativity born from an ordinary day, and about ideas that spark change.

Over the years we’ve learned that magazine content should be more than a review of news. It should be a space where the reader feels calm, inspired and curious. That’s why we approach every topic as a small story of its own. Sometimes it is an analysis of design that shapes the aesthetics of contemporary life, sometimes an intimate portrayal of emerging beauty rituals, and sometimes a light, relaxed look at trends just beginning to appear in culture.

In our Editorial Team we believe that quality comes from honesty and dedication. That’s why we cultivate a writing style that is natural, warm and editorially refined — without haste, clichés or superficial conclusions. Our editorial approach is built on knowledge, experience and years of working with text, and every article comes from genuine reflection rather than automatic routine.

Our mission is simple: to create content that is memorable, that resonates and that leaves a mark. A magazine is not just a collection of topics, but a space for exploration, dialogue, aesthetics and stories that deserve to be told. That is why the Magazine Editorial Team remains committed to delivering reliable, inspiring and sincerely crafted content to its readers.
