I love showering in the morning but hate getting up earlier and rushing around. I finally decided to start showering at night and I can sleep in and nurse T in bed and have a more relaxing start to the day.
The only thing is I feel like I have a layer of sleep scum on me when I wake up, even if I showered right before bed. I'll miss being completely fresh before work. 
I'll just have to get used to it.
What about you? Do you feel the "sleep scum" too?

I like showering in the morning because my hair gets soo greasy! I'm thinking about switching to night time too though to give me more time in the day. I hate blow drying my hair!

I used to shower at night but now my hair is so long it doesn't dry well before I want to sleep. So, lately I've been showering in the mornings.

I like showering in the morning, but on days when I have to get up really early I'll shower the night before to save time. I hate being rushed in the morning.

Always morning. Completely agree about the sleep scum. I'm scared I'll smell like I didn't shower. I've smelled it on other people. Ick!

At night after I work out but I still always shower in the am.

I do both. If it works out during the morning for me to shower (it's difficult with two little ones) then I will, otherwise at night.

I shower in the morning. I can't do it at night because my hair is a mess in the mornings and doesn't work right if I don't shower. Plus I do feel that "sleep scummy" feeling!

Night! DH knows he is not allowed in our bed if he isn't freshly showered, haha.

I used to shower at night, but my hair is long and thick and takes FOREVER to dry and I hate going to bed with wet hair, so now I shower in the morning.

@Danizaur: I feel your pain. I shower at night, my hair never looks good. And I miss the freshness! Life with a baby means I shower after he's asleep unfortunately!

Both. My husband insists that we both shower before bed, and I have to shower in the morning or I don't feel clean for the day.
I used to hate going to bed with wet hair, but now I'm used to it. It's not worth fighting about, anyway.

Morning. I need to feel so fresh and so clean to start my day.

Night is my preference, morning if I'm being lazy.
It also depends on my workout schedule.
My hair is so thick, if I don't wash if at night then I have no hope at all of it drying.

I always shower in the morning. Even if I wash my hair at night, which is rare, I still shower every morning.

Mornings, but lately I've been showering sometimes at night after working out, going to bed with my hair wet and pulled back, then blow drying it in the morning. My hair is super thick and long so it's still fairly wet in the morning. It saves me a lot of time in the morning (1/2 dry hair, plus no shower).

Night because I like feeling clean going to bed. It relaxes me also.

I looooove morning showers, but night time showers help me beat the time crunch so I do a mix.

Wow, I always shower at night! I like to shower off the day, and I can't get in bed until I've showered. I'd feel like everything I came in contact with that day was getting on my sheets! I've never really felt like I have "sleep scum." I wash my face, brush my teeth, and put on fresh deodorant, so I am pretty sure I don't smell? If I wake up sweaty obviously I'll rinse off but...meh. Maybe I'm gross.

Growing up I used to shower mostly at night... Couldn't stand going to bed "dirty". But then I got lazier and more tired and not wanting to blow-dry my hair, so somehow I started showering in the morning!

Night. I'd have to wake up at an even more ridiculous hour to shower in the morning.

Morning showers are my preference, but I try to plan ahead to what will work best for my schedule for the next day since absolutely everything takes longer with a one year old running around. Since he's now on one nap most of my showers lately have been at night.

Night. I like to be clean after I come home from work/after a workout and be in the house (hanging out/sleeping) feeling comfortable and relaxed.
