Depends on what shift I'm working. Day shift I'll shower at night because I don't have time in the morning. Night shift I'll shower in the morning.
I definitely prefer showering in the morning, (I also prefer night shift) a good shower just generally feels like a good start to the day. It helps me wake up and gives me time to mentally prepare for the day.
Both. Sometimes a third.
The morning one is the long one, the central part of the 20-minute shit/shower/shave trifecta. Then there is the afternoon one, to rinse off the work-grime before starting the evening. If outdoor activities are on the evening itinerary, a third one: rinse off dust, sweat, urushiol oil (poison ivy), check for ticks, stretch sore muscles, etc.
But on the rare, lazy saturday? Fuck it.

End of my day, I tend to get dirty at work and I exclusively do 12 hour shifts. So, showering after work is an absolute must. I work a rotating schedule that is a 50/50 split of 7a-7p and 7p-7a. I don't like showering right when I get up. I just wanna get up and go.On days off I shower in the afternoon after the gym.

Afternoon/evening.
I'm not a morning person. I will never get out of bed earlier than I have to.
In the winter it's colder going out after a shower. The afternoon is usually the warmest time of day in the summer.
Usually morning if I have to be somewhere that day. Otherwise whenever I can get around to it.
Ok
Twice a month when I feel like it
