Bath Before You Sleep

I was curious about this thing! Bathing before sleeping!!
I have surfed many youtube channels on ayurveda that recommends to bath before you have your breakfast! It is also reasonable as you bath after you have your breakfast, your food won't be properly digested!
In India, literally everyone baths here in day!! When I started watching Korean series, I saw characters bath after having lunch! They even brush after having lunch! That was a new thing which seemed weird also!
But then, in Japan, they take shower before they sleep at night! My cousin, he also used to bath after he comes from school.. His reasoning was, "Why will I got to school after bathing when I know I will be spending my 8-10 hours of a day around so many people? I would be playing, I would be eating and what not activitites.. The purpose of bathing is cleaning youself! So, bathing before you go to office or school negates the purpose of bathing.. Therefore, I bath after I come from school and feel fresh and clean at home!"
His explanation was also right!! So, I thought of bathing at night but then my another cousin asked me to drop the idea! Because, our joints will start paining and arthritis pain will recur! I was confused and dropped the idea!
What do you think about bathing before you sleep??

i usually take a bath before bed, because i feel sleepy after one.
but i do take a shower in the morning or after exercising, or getting home after i spent a day outside or in hot temperature.

Everyone has their different ways to look at it, I always have a bath in the morning and during summers after I reach home from work or before sleeping

But one problem during summers, is that the water automatically becomes warm!!

@Butterfingers I wish how we have geysers to get warm water, likewise we had something to get cold water during summers!

The weather here is hot and humid, so it's very normal for people to bathe/shower twice a day - once in the morning, once in the evening. I find that doing it before sleep helps me to relax and sleep better.

@anya12adwi The older generation here used to say it's not good to have a shower at night but that's scientifically not true. Not sure how they came up with that.

I am lazy as day passes by! I feel like laying flat on bed! I hardly get up and take a bath at night! Moreover, when I feel like doing, my mom stops me!

I take a bath before going to office in the morning and also at night before I sleep. It is hot in Kolkata. That is why it suits me.

@anya12adwi After dinner. But I think it is the choice of the person. Sometimes it happens in cities where it rains heavily one gets wet. Then it is better that they can have a warm bath and then have a food.

@sathviksouvik True! I hate getting wet because of rains! Especially when you are riding or have some work! It is not at all romantic as it is presented on tv!

I am not consistent with my timings! I love bathing when it is hot outside and water is chilled!

So, you would want to stink all day at school and work because you failed to take a bath/shower before you start your day? The reasoning on all of these makes no sense to me. I shower when I need to. I want to feel fresh and clean when I go anywhere or am around people. I also take a shower at night if I worked hard all day and feel the need. It won't bring about arthritis.

@anya12adwi I always shower before I eat.
That's interesting about the doctors' assessment of when to bathe.

Our doctors here asks us to not to bath frequently because of arthritis! They even ask us to bath in lukewarm bath the first time we take bath in morning! Our Indian bodies are wired like that! We feel bloated if we bath after eating!
