Actually in in this case too despite taking shower at night (and often in the morning too), it stains all my shirts the same way, that's why my mattress has a waterproof protection. My son has inherited that from me and his sweat does the same since he's born. Well takes little more than "few days" though.
Same! I work a dirty ass job, so I shower before I leave and as soon as I get home at night and my side of the bed gets gross in about 4 days anyway, so we end up washing/swapping sheets at least twice a week :S drives the wife nuts lol
I shower every night before bed and have the same issue. My head especially is just oily. So I use 2 pillow cases. One dark one that goes over whatever the actual bed set is.
Make sure you use all cotton sheets and not those awful polyester or synthetic fabric that is too hot and add towel or blanket on your side for easy washingand replacing.
I'm not a night shower person, and my sheets have never, ever, looked like that.
There's a golden rule of showering - regardless of when your 'main' shower is; if you've done something to become filthy, then you need another shower.
Could also be tobacco use. I shower right before bed yet all my pillows are stained kind of a dark yellow, I guess because my sweat is full of tar or something from all the smoking
Yeah you can also tell especially with anyone who has the vip thing under their name on here. Either they're a bot or someone who legit spends all their time on reddit, seeing as many got well over a million karma and the account is only a year or two old
Why wouldn't you just shower at night? Office work doesn't mean you don't accumulate sweat and dirt throughout the day. If you go to bed with the day's dirt, wouldn't you have to wash your bed and pillow sheets daily like your undershirts?
I dont think it happens because of just showering at night. I shower every night before bed, and i still have to wash my sheets weekly at least to avoid this kind of buildup (I am a very sweaty dude). It just that people bodies are just different sometimes
It's exactly why our dogs aren't allowed upstairs in our house. I absolutely can not cope with dog dick juice and hair all over the bed. We have 2 big dogs and they also shed a fair bit.
I remember going round my friends house and he asked my to grab something from his bedroom. It fucking stank in there and I asked if he had recently hooked up with someone and he said no and he changed the sheets like two days ago... However, he has long haired dogs that sleep on the bed throughout the day/night. He literally can't smell it because it's what he's used to but my god did it stink lol.
As you can see from this totally real potato photo, I sweat really badly while I sleep and I work a pretty dirty job so I need to shower in the morning and at night. I also wash my bedding once a week cause I'm a clean freak.
I never shower at night and my bed never looks like that or smells bad. Now, if you have a job where you do a lot of physical things, yeah, you should shower before you go to bed at night.
Some people are just sweatier at night. Some people are just oilier. I shower at night before bed and still darken the sheets a little over the duration of the week.
If you have any kind of construction job, or work as a mechanic or something then you really need to be showering as soon as you get home and changing into clean clothes. For me when I have done dirty work like that I usually showered in the morning and when I get home since I like showering and getting cleaned up first thing in the morning.
But yeah, when I have worked less dirty jobs simply showering in the morning is fine.
I had an ex that would sweat profusely, he never took evening showers either. When we broke up I had to throw out every sheet set I owned because he fucked them up. I could not get that shit out.
I keep making this argument, but it falls on deaf ears for morning shower bros probably cuz they still got water clogged up in their ears.
So i go to bed, clean, my bed is clean. Then i wear clean clothes and go to work. THERE and after work i cant really control how dirty i get. But it doesnt matter as i will clean it off when im home, repeating the cycle of cleanliness. And the reason why you feel dirty when you get up is because you have your daystank marinate you in your bed for 7-8 hours.
If I showered last night and I don't sweat during the night, there's no reason to take a shower in the morning - at least in my climate. I understand that in hot and humid countries more showers might be necessary (or people who genetically sweat or stink more).
Another thing is the fact that stripping your skin of natural protective oils too often is not great for your skin and can lead to dryness and irritation.
It depends how long your shower is. If you're doing a second shower in one day it's probably more of a quick clean of key areas and an overall rinse for a couple of minutes than an extra long shower.
Personally, I typically do one shower in the morning except if I got really sweaty or dirty, then I'll shower when I'm done doing the activity that made me gross, but the second shower is pretty quick.
I always shower after I come back home and I never leave once I have showered. If I absolutely have to, then I shower again. I can't bring the outside stuff on my bed.
I sweat at night too because I run hot, even in winters. But it never gets this bad. I once couldn't change my sheets for over two months due to some circumstances keeping me very busy and even then it wasn't this bad, not even close. It just wasn't as white as it was and it was easily removed after one wash.
This seems like a case of poor hygiene and/or some physical condition.
I shower at night and the mattress on my side discolours through the sheets from sweat. We wash and change sheets once a week. But this picture looks like a mechanic came home and went straight to bed.
Even if I showered before I went to bed it'd be nasty and drenched cause I just sweat a lot while sleeping and under the covers. The sweat and grime is largely not there when I initially get in the bed.
Some people in this thread will actually wake up, shower in the morning, go to work, use public toilets, walk around with their feet inside barely breathable socks/shoes all day, and then get home and argue that they’re clean and can just get into bed at night.
Fucking gross.
- Shower before bed, bed stays cleaner for longer.
if you’re sweating at night, sleep with the window open under a thin blanket.
if you’re still sweating, put a fan blowing directly over you.
If it’s so warm at night that you’re still sweating, invest in some AC because your sleep quality must be horrendous if it’s that hot.
If you can’t afford AC, shower in the evening and the morning.
If you can’t afford to shower twice a day and have to actually ration your use of the shower, then I’m sorry that you’re in such a situation.
But for goodness sake, if the climate you live in is so hot that an open window and fan at night cannot stop you sweating profusely, then the climate in the daytime must be absolutely horrendous and you absolutely will be caked in sweat after a day doing anything that isn’t inside an AC zone, so you should be showering morning and night regardless.
Some people have sweat disorders, temperature doesn't really affect it the way you think.
I have a form of hyperhidrosis and regardless of what I do or dont do my face and head decide its time to sweat profusely for no reason, only thing that seems to help it oddly enough is when i smoke cannabis, obviously I can't really do that when im asleep though
Couldn't be me. I pee on the urinal but if I have to go number two I'm holding that shit in for dear life.
Only two times in my life I sat down on a public toilet (hotels not included, but I have my cleaning supplies with me).
You know the story about the gummy bears that make you have diarrhea?
I ate a couple of hands full of them before going into a Marvel movie without knowing about their effect.
During the trailers I got the most intense stomach pain and it growled so loud that the people in front and behind of me looked at me.
But I was really looking forward to the movie so I decided to stay. It came in waves. Every 15 minutes I was sure that this was the one and I was gonna shit myself, but I got through the whole movie and the 30 minute drive home.
My anus muscle is like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime.
If I shower before I go to bed then my hair will be full of grease in the morning and I will still sweat during the night. So then I’d have to shower in the morning too and that ain’t happening.
It’s also same with shoes in the house too!! I don’t know why people think shoes at home are okay and also sometimes stepping in their own carpet after coming from outside cuz they bring home bacteria and shit from public toilets and walk all over their homes with it 🤢
Some Americans even wear shoes inside their homes. I knew a nurse who wore her work shoes inside her house and she even had a little cute dog who helps spread the MRSA a bit more too
Bro, I'm ok with showering after waking up but I have no idea how people can go on the entire day and simply lay down on their beds without taking a shower. FUCKING. DISGUSTING.
Bullshit. I sweat at night. I can't help it. "Have your been to a Dr?" Fuck you. I've been to dozens of doctors and I'm on 3 medicine to stop my chronic pain. I still sweat like a whore at a prison rodeo.
But, seriously, he should go to a doctor to get checked out.
I used to have this problem but I just started scrubbing myself better in the shower, wearing a shirt to bed and making sure I keep the bedroom at the right tempature.
The scrubbing thing is the most important though, seriously dudes use something that's kinda rough.
Night sweat can also mein that the body has to work really hard during sleep phase. So this could also be a result of sleep apnoe or low breath phases. A Night in a sleep clinic would not be the worst idea, just to be sure
Probably should just get a dark leather headboard (instead of fabric) so it can be easily wiped down, and change your sheets to a dark color, maybe with a pattern. I doubt the partner is going to be able to change their chemistry.
Can't offer help in preventing it. But maybe some homemade cleaning goop would help. 1 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup Dawn dish soap, 3 tablespoons hydrogen peroxide, mixed together........ you might need more. Use gloves, it's strong. Apply it to the stain and wash. Works on dishes and general surfaces. Just rinse thoroughly, I keep finding patches of dried baking soda from not rinsing properly.
maybe depends on the job. if he's some kind of construction worker or some similar job where you get dirty and sweaty i would shower in the evening before bed too.
but my fat ass sits in home office all day and my bed never looks like this.
If I’m working I have a shower twice a day. I’m a veterinarian and essentially feel very unclean after my overnight shift. So I’ll have a short one when I wake up in the afternoon, to “wake up”., Then, a short one in the morning before sleeping. I wear a shower cap for that so my shoulder length hair isn’t wet on my pillow. Goodness knows what bodily fluids/bacteria/viruses got on me or soaked into my scrubs.
shower before you go to bed.. problem solved... if you need to take a shower when you 1st wake up, go ahead! You're a fucking adult... at what point did child's aversion to bathing become an adults daily routine?
This article is pretty good about this dividing topic https://health.clevelandclinic.org/evening-vs-morning-shower However there’s a recent study and it turns out actually it’s better to shower in the morning cause what happens under the sheets is actually gross. Can’t find the article.
Personally I can’t imagine going between people without a morning shower.
Nah this is just something some people struggle with. I take showers daily in the evening and sometimes in the morning, I wear antiperspirants, I don't even do anything that physically intensive, and I still smell like I havent bathed in months and sweat like a pig
I sweat when I sleep and try and fight it by sleeping in cold temperature otherwise my whole bed gets drenched in sweat, I usually take a shower in the morning cause I sweat when I sleep but never had my sheets turn colors!
You do both…..you wake up to wash off night funk. You shower before bed to get rid of the days funk. If it’s summer, you probably wanna shower an additional time around Bonn/afternoon before going back out….
