2. It’s bad for your hair.

Showering right before bed makes your hair still wet. Sleeping with damp hair will cause your pillowcase to absorb moisture and create a perfect warm and humid environment for harmful bacteria to develop. This lead to many scalp problems, such as itchiness, irritation, and dandruff.

3. You might not be able to fall asleep easily.

You feel good when your body temperature is slightly lower, and as your body starts to prepare itself for a good night’s sleep, your temperature drops a bit. Taking a hot shower will increase your core temperature and confuse your body. Therefore, if you can’t go to bed without bathing, you should take a bath before an hour or 2 before sleeping.

4. It can make your heart race.

Hot water raises your blood pressure, and medical experts alert that it can even overheat your body and cause stress to your heart. Then, if your heart is racing, you might spend the night tossing and turning, which leads to even more health problems.
