Showers take away my time. Getting wet and then dry again is rather annoying. So I don't like showering itself but I love the clean feeling I get after the shower.

You could drown and die if you fall asleep in the bath. It could be dangerous.

You can use the "bath hat" if you don't like getting water on your face while washing your hair.

I love showers. I have one every day, can't really wake up without one.
I seem to forget time while in the shower, I find it a very good place to think.

Interesting idea, especially the space heater.
It's not only the temperature transition but getting used to the water falling on my skin that's difficult, but being warm when I come out can help a lot.

I have a love hate relationship with showers.

I hate having greasy hair, but while I feel the strong desperation to wash myself, I sometimes feel too lazy to get my bum off my seat and go have a shower. I always do, though. The discomfort of my hair is a stronger feeling. I always love being underneath that warm, relaxing spray, but I don't like getting water in my eyes or having it poured all over my face. It's almost suffocating. I struggle with the shampoo. I get it in my eyes, and it stings, but once my eyes have calmed down, it's enjoyable again. I get out, and I feel cold. I feel lazy drying myself off, but I always push myself to do it. Then, after my hair is dried, I feel fresh like a daisy. :D

I can't stand baths. I get out and I'm all wrinkly, and drowsy!

How to change a shower head-the cavernio guide:
The shower head that I bought had instructions on the back of it. It was quite simple, unscrew the old head, make sure the rubber gasket-thing came with the shower head you purchased, put floss tape (I think that what it's called) around the threading of the stump that's left on the wall of your shower (threading is apparently the spirally area that makes things screw), screw on the new shower head.
Best 20-30$ I ever spent. Just keep the old shower head if you're renting so that you can keep the one you bought if you move out.

I too have a love hate relationships with showers and showering.
I hate being stinky, and my hair needs to be washed everyday for it to be even passable looks-wise, and my dandruff tends to get bad if I don't wash my hair everyday. So I shower.
What I hate is that I like cranking the heat too high, generally (since my house is generally too cold and I'll use a shower to warm up often), then I get really hot and drowsy and I don't want to leave the shower so then I'll stay in it too long and instead of getting out and feeling refreshed and clean I'm hot with dry skin (especially on my upper back where the water hits.) I stay hot for a good half hour minimum after a shower like that.
Showers in the summer feel better and my skin doesn't itch and feel parched afterwards.
I too hate putting on clothes when I don't feel completely dry, as what happens after a shower. Since I don't have places to get to these days, I often flop down on my bed to cool and dry off completely before getting dressed.
The best showers are when I've got energy and they're fast and refreshing. Otherwise they're siren-calling heat traps that I stay too long in and leave feeling worse than when I went it.
Baths take way too long and they're disgusting unless the tub's been cleaned recently (which happens far less often than I ideally want), so I don't bathe too often.

I hate showers. I hate the stingy spray of water, which always (ALWAYS) gets me in the face and makes me feel like I'm going to drown. No matter how low I adjust, I'm going to get it in the face if I try to rinse my hair. I really dislike water in the face. I also hate being hot on the half of me under the shower, and cold on the other half--plus the freezing cold drafts because the shower curtain never quite sticks, the having to find the goddamn soap (which always falls) and trying to shave my legs in the shower really blows.

Give me a steamy hot bath that I can get to almost boiling any day.

I love the physical sensation of a shower, and can stay in one for a long time.

Except for…. the noise. The loud sound volume of the shower annoys and drains me. Add the exhaust fan and it can be a bit stressful.

So these days I take more baths. I miss the massage action of the shower water, but not the noise.

Time to take a shower and feel good. Besides sleep, shower a good way to get drain away the overload.
