For real, taking a shower, then climbing into bed with freshly laundered bedsheets is one of the best feeling ever.
It really is 😀
I totally agree
The true ✨ sleep hygiene ✨
I'm a night shower person my brother only showers in the mornings my sheets are always clean when I change them his pillow case and bed are always filthy from all the sweat and dirt accumulated all day long especially his oily hair 🤢
Right ?
I don't get it how come somebody can go to bed with all day filth and just be ok with. Nope, na-ah.
As someone who was raised to shower at night:
- Saves time in the morning to allow a little bit more sleep before going somewhere like school or work
- Keeps your bed clean
- Good opportunity to change into pajamas and have good sleep hygiene (signal to the body it's time to relax and wind down with a nice warm shower. Or if it's hot out can even cool the body down which also helps sleep in those conditions)
- Speaking of which, not smelling like BO makes it easier to sleep
- Relaxes muscles before bed (less likely to wake up feeling stiff and sore)
- Can still look great in the morning, just wet a comb and comb the hair to get it damp again and style as usual
EXACTLY! I always have a great night sleep when I shower at night and it saves time in the morning!! It’s much more efficient (for me at least)
Where I live in the tropics, the way I sweat at night, I won't be able to function unless i shower both in the morning and at night.
also as someone with long hair it can take hours to dry.
i like to use hot styling tools (straightener) before going out so id have to take extra time and extra heat damage to blow dry my hair in the morning or i can just shower the night before and wake up with dry and ready to style hair!
I 100% agree with you. Also, if you have a sexual partner, being clean for nighttime activities is a must.
People who go to gym after work...
It’s not that Americans like to work, it’s that the American employers don’t like to give paid time off. Sometimes not even unpaid time off!
I know someone that got fired because they got the flu and missed three days.
Work culture in the US is so broken, as people are forced to live paycheck to paycheck, and in constant fear of being fired for the slightest thing, often resulting in them going to work while not only still suffering (resulting in mistakes and low functionality) but also contagious, resulting in the spread of disease not only throughout the workplace but to any clients or customers too.
This is what I was coming down here to say! I’m a teacher and while we get more time off than most Americans, we are limited too. If we take off the first 5 or last 5 days of the school year, we get our pay docked. During that time frame, I had one coworker have to work when her dad passed and another had surgery and have to work the very next day. She couldn’t function and just sat all day on pain pills basically. I’ve had jobs before with zero paid time off- in daycares I worked through stomach bugs, strep throat, flu, etc. I once had a 103 fever (strep) and was told to work but “don’t act sick in front the parents.” So they’d tell me when a parent was coming to pick up their kid so I’d stop leaning/sitting against the wall during that time.
Our system is all messed up. And we just pass all these illnesses to others.
That's exactly why EU has work laws to enforce paid vacations.
Yes cats do have knuckles. They use them for there claws which is why declawing is so bad for them since your amputating the first knuckle on there paw. Don’t declaw your cat people
Yeah. I was like "uh they dont want to"
0:26 Cats do indeed have knuckles and knuckle bones. They flex them when making biscuits
And the knuckles are surgically removed when "declawed". Horrible.
@@dianakorz0730removing a cats ability to make biscuits should be a felony, charged to both the vet and the owner
A lot of vets refuse to do it now because it’s considered animal cruelty. They have little gel things that slide on, some kits come with glue make sure it’s safe for them. Your vet can put them on or a groomer, some vets carry them. They come in a variety of colors including clear. There’s also nail clippers for cats, I have a pair and used them for my ferret and my cat Tiny because he kept biting his back foot.
Mike getting so aggressive about morning vs night showers is honestly so funny to me😂
I’m shook people don’t shower at both times????
at the same day? that can be a bit problematic
And then the bit ends with him coming up with pros to showering at night, lol
@@hellenhardy3144 I call BS. Most people in the world don't even have the facilities or the resources to take one shower a day.
I would have to wash my sheets and pajamas every day if i didn't shower at night. No way I'm spending a day sweating and getting oily just to climb into new clothes and sheets and make them immediately nasty lol. I literally shower and go straight to bed so I'm as clean as possible. I wont even nap in bed with my "outside clothes"
I know this won't be seen by many but just 2 hours ago I had to save my father's life, and in that moment I remembered Doctor Mike's continuous reminders on how to perform correct CPR, my dad is now conscious and is currently in the hospital, being given an x-ray to see if I broke any ribs. I'm very thankful for watching this channel and learning tips Mike provides on saving lives, thank you.
well done you!
Dr. Mike is the best, he is literally saving lives BOTH inside and outside of the hospital
I'm glad you managed to save your father, I hope he recovers well.
Sounds scary but I'm proud of you for remembering! Best of luck to you and your family going forward💐💙
That's a W right there
Nothing feels better than showering at night and then sliding into a freshly made bed
Yes, Definitely!
@@viegomainjune How do people sleep with all the oil and greasy accumulated on their bodies a whole day?
Yes!! Team night showaaah!! Also agree it does help me get to sleep at night.
heaven, literally.
Totally agree.
Cats have knuckles, that is why declawing is extra cruel as they don't 'just' remove the nail base, they remove the digit to the first knuckle.
Yup. And it changes the way they walk, which makes it painful to walk and causes early arthritis.
Mike as a shower at night person let me explain. The feeling of being clean in the bed is great, plus u don't have to change the bed sheets as often and and you have more time in the morning to get ready for work or wherever else one might be going.
Also it’s great if somebody is still sleeping and you don’t want to wake them up.
Hot showers would also make you more relaxed
I honestly like the way my hair dries in bed as well.
Plus you clean all the grime from a long day's work off.
i have known a few salesguys. they shower in the morning so they can look and smell perfect for clients.
I went to the ER after a bee sting (I'm allergic). I needed meds through an IV. The meds made me a little crazy, so they taped a plastic board under my elbow so I wouldn't bend it and pull out the IV. When the bill came, the hospital had charged for each individual piece of tape that had been used to tape the board to my arm. Couldn't just do a flat fee for consumables--they had to itemize each freaking piece of tape.
$12 per piece of tape, and $100 wear and tear fee on the tape roll!
Sssss
You from USA?
This is why I'm opting for UK
Woooow.... Wtf... That's some serious bs... I believe it, though. Welcome to the US. 🤦🏻♀️
That last guy's sense of humor was to die for
I dont understand the meme
@@Big_Gcoem Based on the picture, it's implied that the father is in the casket. The wording of "second crash this week" suggests that the father died in a car crash less than a week prior, making the casket falling out of the back of the hearse his second car crash this week.
It's probably a grave mistake to laugh at that but perhaps it keeps him grounded if at least relatives are joking instead of just mourning
@@AstroVertebraeWell played...
Literally, according to the father..
I love medicine commercials so much they are hilarious 😂 it’s always this very aesthetically pleasing video of a man having fun with his family, meanwhile in the background “taking this may cause internal bleeding, heart failure, temporary blindness, and even death!”
Fr 😭
That's because every single incident of side-effects from the studies and trials has to be included. I once managed to get the doctor-facing stat sheet for one of my medications, and it had the full breakdown of the study results, the likelihood of occurrence of the side-effects, etc. It was really cool to see. Also, if someone is participating in a medical study and they die from something completely unrelated (like a car accident) it still gets counted as a side-effect of the medication. They err on the side of caution with pharmaceuticals.
@@MorganMakesThings Damn bro r u a doctor? (Not trying to be rude)
This only happens in America, is the fun part
Saw an anti anxiety pill commercial (I forget which one) and the side effects are all something I’d be anxious to have if I were around people. It was like: diarrhea, bad breath, excessive sweating, fainting, gas…etc. The idea seemed to be the pill would make you not care about it I guess.
Are you tellin me that you work all day around sick people and their germs, walking/driving around the city and you DON'T come home and want to take a shower before getting into your clean bed?! That's INSANE Dr. Mike 🤣
I was wondering this too. I know the first thing I do when I get home from my hospital shifts is head to the shower.
Esp in NYC
I know right! I hate getting into bed feeling like the day is still on me, if that makes sense.
Still not as insane as him never having a dinosaur chicken nugget SOMEONE CHANGE THAT STAT!!!!
I shower at night because I cycle to work, showering in the morning would just mean getting gross immediately after. I also work as a vet tech so I want to wash unspeakable things off of me before going to bed...
That last meme reminds me of a story my dad told us as kids. His fathers favorite expression was, "He would be late for his own funeral." On the way to his fathers funeral the hearse had to stop and wait for a train right as the church bell started ringing. All of the family in the car following the hearse busted out laughing.
damn your grandpa knows comedic timing, even if that timing is post-mortem
Mike going on a rant about showering at night and then proceeding to explain why is it better to shower at night without even taking a breath is a golden Mike moment
The way Dr. Mike rumble on in the background while I do my work is really calming in a sense. Despite the sudden loudness every now and then, I still like the way that even when you are not watching, you can still hear his passion in whatever it is he is talking about. Keep it up, Doc!
My ex's doctor told him to shower at night during allergy season because his seasonal allergies were REALLY bad. Apparently washing the hair at night removes allergens that have accumulated during the day so his sneezing and breathing problems would improve, giving him a better sleep. It really did help
I use make-up remover to clean my face, even though I don't wear make-up. Also really helps
And so it doesn't get on your bedding, where you sleep every night 😊
Also, take the clothes you wore during the day off in a room other than your bedroom because it will be covered in pollen🌼
Of course it helps. Also... kinda common knowledge where i live...
I mean...pollen and dust is flying around freely...
Thats actually a toxoplasmosis sandwich, “dr” should know that
I love how with the shower thing he did a full 180 and went from strongly recommending morning showers to realizing night showers are good too 😂😂
yeah
Probably as morning showers are commonly listed with health benefits, but you don't really have to shower for that and just a simple Cold water rinse will have the same effect.
Best would be a shower at night, no rush or panic chance and have time to clean properly, then quick cold rinse in the morning for those benefits and clear any over night stuff.
Right? Definitely showering at night, especially when working blue collar jobs. Get all the dust, dirt, germs, shmeckle and sweat off for a comfortable sleep
As an Indian - American, My Indian(India) family was deeply offended
I'm on your side with the night shower, freaking love em! What are blue collar jobs? @@poledrawolfrose
As a child I got a canker sore every 2-3 weeks. I had no idea why. Even when I was perfectly healthy. I went to many doctors and no one had an idea. Then, after a complete blood analysis, they noticed my folic acid is very low and that could cause oral infections. They gave me folic acid supplements and now I had barely any canker sore in 10 years.
I might look into this. I get them often
@@benjaylehman That could help. It’s just an idea, no guarantee, but who knows. I was lucky. Wish you the best and happy new year 🍀
@@i_can_c_u_2295 you too, if I remember I’ll report back and let ya know
Maybe he grew out of it (joke)
and lysine supplements with vitamin c can help prevent cold sores on the lips. I get them quite often but whenever I feel it coming (starts itching), i take a lysine pill designed for bodybuilder dosage and the sore never happens. If I forget or cannot take the pill right when the first itching starts, it will come out but the pill helps to reduce the time it stays on my lips. I didn't really find a global research regarding this but there is a research team in Hungary who did local trials with lysine with promising results.
Every time I see a Picture of an IUD my mind IMMEDIATLY goes to " Pogo Stick"
Mike is the kind of doctor to wich you can ask any 'embarassing' medical questions without feeling judged
Unlike a certain surgeon on a certain channel that’s very snarky and dismissive towards those silly questions.
@@chatnoire89 who spill the tea 👀
Ooh, please! I need to know!
@@chatnoire89 talk now
You can tell Dr. Mike is one of the only ones that truly care.
I think it's less about people WANTING to work and more about people being FORCED to work, Dr Mike
😂
Honestly couldn’t imagine having a holiday system like the US.
I get 4 weeks paid holiday and if there’s not already 2 people off then I can take the time off with as little as two weeks warning as long as I have enough paid holiday hours left (and the rota has not already been done). Was a massive help when settling into university, bearing in mind that it was true even though I work in fast food. Did wonders for my mental and financial health while I was a student and will probably continue when I move into my next job. Especially now that inflation is so high that milk has nearly doubled since covid and general inflation is 8.3%. It’s great to have the security that paid rest gives you.
Also, while sick leave was unpaid at my company, you weren’t given points unless it became a consistent problem, in which case you got two warnings before being fired, but there was still some leniency if you then had a genuine health problem and could provide a doctor’s note. Plus, if you have an appointment with a doctor, the manager could change your work schedule to fit it in.
Oh, and no worries that you’d be fired over poor health because that’s illegal (unless they have reasonable cause to prove that your sick days are actually lazy days), and benefits exist if you can’t support yourself because of medical reasons.
You could also take unpaid holiday if you were doing something like transferring to another branch and that involved moving house/settling into uni accommodation etc. However, this is generally not very common.
@@RosinaEmilyW where are you from
@@himaririku5289 Can't say, but I live in the Netherlands, and here most jobs will get you 5-7 weeks of paid leave per year, and by law, all sick leave is paid. I think that's roughly where all EU countries are; some will have a little more paid leave and some a little less, but it's all a lot more than most jobs in the US would get you.
A lot of people are forced to work, but at the same time there's an undeniable culture in America where people prioritize their careers above all else and become workaholics. Not everyone is like this of course, but it's the overall societal expectation.
@@rjfaber1991 the reason why yall are able to do that is thanks to the USA anyway. same with the rest of europe.
At least Mike knows he's fully capable of killing a joke
He just enjoys that power
Was just me that tough: "Ofc he showers in the mornings, look at him HE IS THE BLUE PILL" ahahaah
Yeah he's all blue 😂
Mike is getting so much better at getting jokes. So proud of him.
Not quite there yet
He's young. He'll figure it out.
As an Asian who lives in a humid country, night showers are an actual blessing
Why is your race a factor? 😅 I am not Asian and live in a very humid place. And I love night showers haha.
"Asian" to me sticks out as "living in a fuckin humid place" in this context, similar to someone like me saying they're a Texan lol
@@dboi1656 Lol, I’m also a Texan but most people don’t think humidity, but rather desert when I say that’s where I’m from haha. I’ve never thought of Asian’s as living in humid places as a general consensus, though. Unless they said Thailand or Vietnam or someplace like that. Race just doesn’t seem to be a qualifier for living in a humid place haha.
I get this
Whenever i visited family in Mumbai, I'd be drenched with sweat after drying off from a a day shower, so showering at night was the ticket
in Brazil you have morning shower AND evening shower, with possible afternoon shower if it was extra hot/muggy
'Why would you shower at night?'
- Makes you super-relaxed
- Lets you get up later the next day.
Source: a former morning-shower apologist.
I can shower in the mornings or the night, doesnt really matter to me, but it for sure is such a nice feeling crawling into bed feeling all clean, so im with you on that, it is relaxing.
Ur up all day, covered in all kinds of stuff. How can people go to bed when they filthy like that? Do they change their sheets every day?
I used to work the fryers at a burger place. I HAD to shower at night, or my bed would be an absolute grease pit.
@@Rudy97 that's assuming you are covered in all sorts of stuff i already took a shower today but i don't feel any dirtiness accumulating throughout the day at all
@@SuperYxskaft i think if you're a doctor around germs and illness all day, you'd wanna shower at night to not take that into bed with you. It just makes sense to go to bed clean
shower at night, makes you tired, go to bed clean, wash away all the dirt from the day, have a clean bed
Not showering after spending a whole day outside and especially you as a Doctor is INSAAAANE!!
I literally said the same thing!! He's around sick people for hours!
@@cynthiadagama9303you can wash your face and maybe your hair again, but how can you go out of the house in the morning without showering and being fresh when you’re off to work or especially school as a child! I can tell who some of the night shower people are because many of them already look like their hair is all over the place in the morning.
@Goldendroid idk about others, but I do both, as is common practice here. You shower at night to get clean if the germs from the day, and then in the morning to be fresh and ready.
If you go to bed clean you wake up clean, you didn't go anywhere! Morning showers pfff.
@@MrWebby93What do you do to keep your skin healthy?
Night showerer here - Not showering in the morning means I can wake up later, which means I get an extra hour sleep, which has more benefits for my overall health, and I'm carrying less dead skin/sweat particles into my bed which makes it a healthier environment to sleep in. Who's the gross one now, Mike!
lol
@@red_weed i take a shower for 30-45 mins. I love being in the shower for an 1hr tbh. I just love water and also i wash every inch of my body including my legs. I never have dry skin either cause i use body oil afterwards. Overall, water just feels good.
@@red_weed depends on the temperature, my mood, if I'm thinking about anything, etc. Usually between 10-30 minutes. If i ever need to shower in the morning before work, i get up an hour earlier just as a precaution
I tend to lose track of time in the shower, so I shower at night just in case.
You just go to bed later instead.
My mom used to be an ER nurse. One lady got fired for not making poor patients pay full price. Instead, she only made them pay reasonable prices
That poor lady. Those patients didn't have enough money to pay full price so she gave them an alternative solution which is to let them pay a more reasonable price but she gets fired for doing so? Tell me. Was this in America cuz it would make sense
@iaminsideyourwalls2021 yes, it is America
@@JustUrAveragePotterhead I f*cking called it. Only in America where doctors care more about insurance and medical bills than patients' lives
@iaminsideyourwalls2021 yeah it's stupid
What is the joke?
Showering at night is the best thing as a clean freak
The name of the guy in all those sad face memes is "Hide the Pain Harold." His real name is András Arató, a Hungarian electrical engineer. Because of it, he's actually now a minor celebrity in Hungary and does advertising work throughout the EU. So in real life, he's pretty happy.
Showering at night and entering in the bed with freshly cleaned sheets is the best feeling in the world.
Also, showering at night helps you sleep: Getting colder gets you sleepy. Being wet makes you get colder easily. Just make sure that you do not get actually cold, just the feeling of decreasing temperature.
Also there is nothing more uncomfortable than lying in bed with sweat and dirt from the day all over your body.
Its the 3 'S
Shower, Sex, Sleep
Whenever I can’t sleep, I wet my hair and turn my fan on in my room. Cold head is the beeeeest 😴
Was going to say the exact same thing.
Yep, to you. Some people don't care about that. Some people don't like to be cold (I do, so not denying that).
It's adorable that Dr Mike thinks people cut their own Dino nuggets at home.
Ikr lol 😂
Like they're cookie cutters but for nuggets lol
I absolutely love how he is so incredibly smart while also being so dumb at the same time lmao
@@supotter377there's a different between book smarts and street smarts. And then there's common sense, which a lot fewer people have despite it being "common."
@@Vincisomething That's so stupid it just... might... work.
There is a thing in Korea called “manner legs.” It’s when a very tall actor stands low by spreading his legs wider so his shorter female costar doesn’t have to tilt her head way up or stand on an apple box while filming. I heard about it with some behind the scene photos of a Korean drama I was watching.
9:38 Dr. Mike: **has a strong knee-jerk reaction to showering at night**
10:06 Also Dr. Mike: **convices himself that showering at night might be actually a good idea**
Also, showering at night removes dirt, oil, germs, and grime that have accumulated on the skin and hair throughout the day (but there are benefits to both times of day).
I shower at 3 in the afternoon. You can't stop me.
ALL medical employees need to shower after being around sick people all day. And people with allergies? Definitely don't take that pollen to bed!
@@candacemalinowski3447 So what happens to them during their double shifts and they don't get a chance to shower?? Nothing? I think they know what is best for them being adults and all. They don't drop dead and still have to treat patients, no one cares then right?
So what happens to them during their double shifts (lasts longer than an average shift) and they don't get a chance to shower?? Nothing, right? I think they know what is best for them being adults and medical professionals, and all.
*shower twice?*
Doctor Mike saved my life. I had heat exhaustion yesterday and high blood pressure and all I could think about is stay conscious so I could tell what was wrong with me because he said it's important. Thank you Doctor Mike.
next time put your wrists/neck under a stream of cold tap water. It helps to cool down :)
I got influenza at christmas. One of the nights I started throwing up - Luckily as I was sick I was prepared with a bucket and sat with the bucket. Howeeeever - I started throwing up for so long I actually couldn't breathe (I can't hold my breath for very long, like literal seconds), so I knew I had to go get help. It was dark (the switch is on the opposite end) but I knew where the door was, so still vomitting with a bucket I walk to the door to find someone, because I am worried I would pass out and choke on the vomit or hurt myself (though I felt bad about having to wake someone up). I get to the door and actually struggle finding the doorknob and I start panicking because I start feeling tense cause I can't breathe. It takes me a few seconds in my panic to find the doorknob but I get it open and I get out - Then came the question:
Do I?
Tumble down the tiny, very narrow hallway with a table in the middle and uneven floors in the dark to get to my mom who is a caretaker of the elderly and therefor has experience with health
or
Do I?
Try still vomitting to tumble down a set of stairs in the dark in hopes that my younger sister (who is a nightowl like me) is still up and in the kitchen where I last saw her?
Lucky for me, I didn't have to decide in my non-breahting, still vomitting panic because my sister came to check on me because she thought she heard me crying, so she came to the stairs and asked if I was okay - I signaled her to stay down the stairs and lucky for me I stopped vomitting just enough to go down the stairs and into the kitchen. At this point I just started vomitting in bursts and I managed to sneak a little "Mom" out as in "go get mom" and she ran up to get my mom. For like an hour or something I threw up in bursts and struggled to breathe while my sister and mom tried to help me and my body calm down enough to breathe.
It was very intense and I am glad I sort of somehow managed to stay calm enough to get out of the room but I also got scared of getting Influenza again, so if I ever get it I hope to go home to someone and be sick so it wont happen again, because that "breathless-vomitting" happened again like 2-3 days later out of the blue after dinner. (this time in the living room with my parents though)
I hope you're feeling better!
@@justchilling1506 I'm feeling better ish. Still weak kinda and not able to eat much. I found out I also has a stomach bug on top of it all. I do not recommend it. Lol
"Who showers at night?" Anybody and everybody who does physical labor jobs or just works outside.
Also, people who like to sleep in a little longer!
Also people with long thick hair that don't want to get up 2 hours early just to wash and dry said hair.
Growing up in north eastern Brazil I tended to shower twice a day because of the heat.
I don't want to roll around in my own filth all night. I'm not going to get significantly dirtier while I sleep, so I might as well get clean, stay clean, and then start the day CLEAN
Showering at night is the only way. It's disgusting that people want to take everything they interacted with all day to bed with them. Showering at night means you have to wash your bed linens less often.
0:01 welcome to timed comments you gracious human being
Thanks🤞 How are you?
What the heck? This was the first comment that popped up, and I’m not even in timed
Lol
Not sure if this has already been mentioned in the comments, but another plus to showering at night is for people who are outside a lot in areas with a lot of pollen. It washes off all that excess stuff so you can go to sleep and wake up without having an allergy attack. 🙂
or have a spoonful of honey every night witch is made heavily with pollen and readies you making you immune in the process.
@@smilesad4224that's a very pervasive myth which has been debunked quite often by now. First of all, most people aren't allergic to the pollen bees mostly collect for their honey. Secondly, the process of making the honey actually changes the pollen protein, plus your body's digestive system breaks it down even more, meaning basically no intact pollen makes it into your system to have any sort of effect on your allergies. And lastly, exposure therapy doesn't really work with allergies, so even if you were to ingest enough pollen for it to have effect on your body, it would be far more likely to worsen your allergies, not cure them. That's just a summary, but googling 'does honey help with allergies' and then checking out the legit medical sources will provide more in-depth info.
Showering at night is also beneficial for night owls who are more active at night anyway, and it'll help keep your sheets cleaner longer, which could improve acne (less dirt to clog your pores - satin pillowcase and sheets will help your skin look better as well). Also, a lot of people wash their face in the shower then do the rest of their skin routine when they get out.
Don’t yell at me doctor Mike, but I don’t like showering in the morning, but at night, it feels so cozy and it makes me feel more relaxed 😌
same! Especially in winter. Getting up earlier just to shower and then going out in the cold while possibly still damp? Miss me with that, I get it out of the way in the evening and can snuggle up all clean in my bed sheets.
Same. And i like to sleep long 🙂
Dr. Mike “that wasn’t funny”
Also Dr. Mike “hahahaha”
In Canada I cut the pad of my middle finger almost completely off, and I was in a LOT of pain. Poor nurse doing intake was like "I wish I could get you a tylenol, but we would need to dispense that, and we're understaffed, and--" and I whipped out my personal bottle of tylenol and was like "can I take one of my own?"

As a dog groomer, I have to shower in the evening. No way am I sleeping in my bed with dog fur all over me 😂😂
My work is physical so there's no way I'm going to bed all grimy and sweaty. Bed is a sacred and a clean place for me. It also saves up time in the morning since you wake up clean.
I work at a dog daycare. I smell like dogs and their pee at the end of the day. There's no way I'll just lay down with sweaty hair infused with dog smells....
I used to work for a vet and I’d literally leave a bathrobe on the washing machine (the laundry room was on the way into the house) and put my scrubs right into the washer, I smelled so bad after work.
Even as a doctor you’d think he’d want to wash off the germs from his day at work.
I work at a dog daycare so I relate! Plus I don't have time in the mornings! I was raised to never shower in the morning to not run late.
Reasons to shower at night:
1) You've gotten dirty during the day (this was my first reason since I always had sports practice after school)
2) Not a morning person (can sleep in longer, take your time showering at night)
3) Your pajamas and bedding stay clean longer.
4) If you use anti-perspirant, you're supposed to put it on at night
Also I personally don't wash my hair everyday but if I did I definitely would not choose to spend 2 hours before work drying and styling it in the morning. Way better to air dry overnight and style the next day.
i totally agree (I cannot say anything about point 4 but I agree with the rest)
Me, a blue-collar worker coming home at 5pm, sweating and covered in dirt grime and sawdust, "Oh yes, I will just take a shower in the morning" xD
There's an almost inverted nocebo effect in tattooing. I used to work in a shop before COVID and the people that built up anxiety often did better. The reason being that as soon as they felt the pain, they realized it couldn't compare to what they imagined. Similarity, first timers that confidently think they can handle a tattoo often end up being the ones that get tunnel vision. Regardless of the person's pain tolerance, it can be a shock when they think there won't be any pain. Then it seems like they keep wondering how much worse it will get as you progress. It's like they work themselves into a panic attack.
Extremely interesting observations!!! I think that who ever makes studies about pain should come and talk to tattoo artists about it! Because people are already there voluntarily subjecting themselves to pain experiences! I think that these type of studies could be on-going thing. We have not learned all about human psyche-pain-mental illness connection etc. Because sometimes people experience their mental illness as physical pain...and we have not understood how to help people's mental illnesses fully yet. So much to discover!
On a side note: I had a medical test today in which they check how nerves are responding to stimulation. In fact, they give electric impulces which travel through your nerves and then they can calculate how well the nerve responces.
I did not read anything else about it before hand, but by reading throught the leaflet (which they sent) about it it said "mild discomfort" I kind of figured out that it hurts somewhat. Because doctors are never honest about pain levels relating to their medical tests. Because of nocebo-effect.
But then I thought that I will not build any expectations about it as I am sure that they would not hurt people that much.
Then I went and I was still very surprised about the pain level on my hand! It hurt quite a lot!!! And even that I was clearly in distress and surprised about the pain....the person doing it was so used to people jumping around that she ignored all my un-intentional noices.
And then when she moved to my leg...well, then I had a new worry, because then I did not feel as much 😅🤣🤣🤣 Some nerves responded painfully again and others were just little tingles.
But it is very interesting to read about your observations on pain on this very day!!! And compare memos on that and on my own experience! I am sure that there is much more to discover on this!!!
I think I heard that from a few people who got tattoos too. They freaked out so much they couldn't really feel the pain
Also, that's what I would do in certain situations because of my anxiety. I would imagine the worst case scenario so what actually happens wasn't that bad. I think I didn't do well on a final? Worst case scenario, I did so poorly that I have to repay and retake the class or I never graduate and wasted so money
I was so terrified to get my first tattoo, as I am afraid of needles. But I really wanted to have tattoos so I did it anyways. After the first small one it have been a walk in the park. During my upper back tattoo I fell asleep :D
That kind of pain can never be as much as getting glass cut out of the bottom of your foot. Had to have it done a couple years ago, and the numbing drug they used kept wearing off after a couple minutes, so they had to keep injecting it around where they were cutting. I now know what it feels like to have my foot cut open, and I had to endure the last bit of the doctor digging in the wound with tweezers to grab the chunk of glass because I was tired of getting stuck with the needle to numb the area.
I shower at night mainly because it washes off any pollen I have on my body after leaving my house. I am allergic to pollen so it makes me less likely to be sick afterwards. Also, it makes more sense to shower at night because people usually go out during the day and when you get back home, you should probably clean yourself from any germs you may have encountered while outside because you don't want that on your bed or pyjamas
If you have windows open you might also find it helpful to drape a towel over your pillows until you're ready to sleep.
It makes total sense to shower before bed.
1. Not everyone has enough time to shower and dry in the morning.
2. When you sleep, you sweat much less, so you don't get as sweaty in the morning as you think.
3. Showering before bed is really relaxing, and helps you sleep.
The first one simply doesn't add up. You can just simply get up earlier. Showering doesn't take more time in the morning, so you can push that window to before or after sleep without significant difference in time spent on it.
I sweat a lot at night. The other two points are valid though.
@@kumaahito3927 Most people find it easier to sleep at certain times. Mostly because your biological clock gets fine-tuned by sunlight, so going to sleep when it is dark and waking up when it is light just make sense to your brain.
@@bramvanduijn8086 On basically the entire planet the length of days vary throughout the year, that +/- 10 minutes (or more) doesn't matter that much.
@@kumaahito3927 If I was to just 'get up earlier' to have time to shower AND let my extremely long, thick hair dry, I just would not be going to sleep period!
2:52 Why did I think that was an actual grizzly bear crawling onto him for a second 😭
As a healthcare worker myself, I will absolutely shower at night. I can sleep in more, my hair isn’t as crazy as it is right after washing it and most importantly, and I can’t stretch this enough, I feel a physical NEED to wash every single molecule I took home from the hospital, OFF of me before I go into bed. Also I don’t wanna wake up everyone :)
Fun fact:
Bear in Russian means Медведь (sounds like Medved'), or Миша (sounds like Meesha) - short/cute version
Analog of the name Michael in Russian is Михаил (sounds like Mikhail), which short/cute version is also Миша
So, in a way, dr. Mike and Bear are namesakes =)
1980's Moscow olympics had Misha (or Mishka) bear as mascot.
Russian nicknames are the cutest.
this is true for most slavic languages
So "Masha and the Bear" is really "Masha and Meesha"?
@@HariSeldon913Technically yes!
To be clear, yes, cats do have knuckles, and this ties into the reason why you should never declaw them- because it's not just the claws being pulled out, it's also their first knuckle being cut off as well. Jackson Galaxy talks endlessly about this in his videos, and many developed nations outlaw the practice altogether.
I just saw a post on Pinterest the other day about declawing cats…people harming their cats because their couch is more important 🤷♀️
Most Associations won't let you entered declawed cats into Cat Shows.
A lot of vets don't do the procedure even if it's not illegal. It's inhumane and absolutely horrible. If you can't handle training your animals or dealing with their natural instincts, don't get an animal!
exactly!! thank You for speaking up ♥️💪
Yep, if you declaw a cat you're cutting off its fingertips.
doctor mike is that type of guy to make a lecture out of every meme and still have an audience
I can't imagine showering in the morning in July, then going to bed covered in dry sweat. Showering before bed makes much more sense. It's not like you get dirty while you're asleep anyways.
hot shower at night causes your body to start shedding heat as fast as possible, which results in falling asleep faster. Then a cold shower in the morning causes your body to crank up the heat making you very alert, and feel incredible due to a lasting increase in dopamine. After a couple of weeks you will CRAVE that cold shower.
You do if you sweat at night
I sweat a lot at night so the shower is basically negated by the time I wake up.
A doctor spitting facts on medical bills and criticizing them truly a good doctor 9:15
I got a 15 hundred dollar advil
You guys get Dr bills?
❤ that's why @Dr Mike gets all the respect!!
@@sopcannon Americans do, yes. Being Canadian, I don’t
Not to mention the bad math skills in the meme. Notice that the 1 was written down instead of being carried to the next column, making the bill approximately 10 times the proper amount
Having watched a lot of your videos lately, the one you did where you spoke about what to do when a baby is choking, saved my 8 month old sons life, had I not watched that video I would have had no idea what to and can’t even imagine what would have happened to my child, so thank you!
I'm happy your baby is still healthy and happy!
*"Your stomach is confused cause you injected it with a caffeine, sugar bomb first thing in the morning."*

9:44 shower at night to remove the dirt and sweat on your body from the daily work so you can sleep and relax more comfortbly, plus you're going to sleep so there will not be any sweat or dirt from the hard work cuz you're just relaxing and sleeping so you will stay clean until you finish working tomorrow so yeah
EXACTLY
JUST DO BOTH??
Bold of you to assume I have time for that but I would if I did
10:00 sorry Dr. Mike but showering at night helps me sleep because the shower makes me sleepy. XD If I do it in the morning I'll just want to go back to sleep.
I’m surprised Dr Mike doesn’t know that showering at night can help with allergies because then you’re not breathing in the allergens that got caught in your hair during the day, all night long.
4:25 this actually happened to me. My school was teaching the year group about chest compressions, and i not only have watched you for years, but i have a mother that works in medical. basically the instructors saw i was doing it near perfection and let me take a break and just chat for half the lesson. That was a fun day.
10:08 i never showered in the morning and i hardly know anybody who do so
Everyone I know does both
What? No way
@@dumflame there is a way then
I take a shower whenever I feel like it
@@Drizzyxstrangerthingssame here
I shower at night so that i dont go to bed dirty. Its a psychological thing 😂
You fart and sweat in the night so you wake up all dirty anyway in the morning
yeah it feels gross to sleep sweaty
I remember my mom told me about the shower at night to not bring the dirt of the outside and keep your bed clean. Also, I would never sacrifice 20 minutes in my bed in the morning for a shower 😂
6:58 holidays just make me realize how much I don't want to work, so going on holiday depresses me more than just continuing to work.
Showering at night keeps your bedsheets cleaner longer, thus you don’t have to wash them as often, thus you save water, thus you help the environment.
You're literally a psychopath if you don't
Think morning/evening showers often comes down to what line of work you do.
@@SuperYxskaft if your bed is clean you will wake up clean after an evening shower.
@@Rudy97 Yeah, thats what I mean, like if you work in for example construction I imagine you want to take an evening shower.
@@SuperYxskaft okay but then what job makes you want a morning shower?
I'm so surprised Dr Mike doesn't have have a child because he's always coming in clutch with those dad jokes 😂
Maybe he has a nephew or niece.
In Brazil the equivalent to dad jokes are "piadas de tiozão" that translates to "big uncle jokes".
@@thomasfplmyes he has nephews
@@Dana-pe8ns, then he is making "piadas de tiozão" instead of "dad jokes". 😁
what does coming in clutch mean
@@himaririku5289coming in perfectly like coming in at the perfect time as in the joke so he came in clutch with the dad jokes
Fun fact: it's possible to yell without putting excess strain on your vocal chords. It just takes a bit of training (including a bit of muscle work to help support the vocal chords), and it usually ends up being clearer to understand
As a lover of biology, Mike saying that cats don't have knuckles hurt my soul
He's a doctor, not a vet. 😂
Cat knuckles are like EXTRA knuckley.
Especially bc it’s like a misconception with ppl declawing their cats. They do have knuckles. Declawing removes their knuckles.
@@kellynemecek5894that's terrible I didn't know that. In the uk it's not really heard of thank goodness
@@kjb9837 yeah, it would be like if we had up to our first knuckle removed 😣 its so awful
"Do cats have knuckles?"
Yes. fun fact, it's one of the reasons declawing is frowned upon, as it's not removing claws, it's removing the entire bone down to the first knuckle, affecting their walk and harming their paw anatomy.
Aswell as causing pain for the rest of their lives
Declawing is so horrible, people need to learn to trim their cats nails and get them suitable things to scratch

Thats cool

As a funeral home worker, I can attest that the last one is hilarious. We all have super dark senses of humor.
Also, fun fact: that is indeed a coffin, but what most people see at funerals today are caskets. The difference is in the number of sides. Caskets have four and coffins have six.
Caskets - 2 doors, coffin - 1 door.
in France, caskets don't exist, it's only coffins and sealed. I've never saw any funeral service with the casket opened, it's not in our habits.
@@Real_Eggman nope. Coffins can have two and caskets can have 1. If it has one lid it's referred to as a "full couch".
why differentiate them?
@@alicepbg2042 Caskets are generally a lot more expensive (at least here in the UK). I used to administrate funerals and would be lucky to order a single one in 6 months. Most families went for a much cheaper oak coffin. It makes sense really, as 90% of UK funerals are cremations these days. It only ends up being burnt after a couple of weeks existing.
6:11 I have these all of the time and you don't get used to this pain. I talked to many doctors about this, but the answer was always: Yeah, we cannot do anything about it. Just use disinfection things and let it heal. Once I got something that nums it, but thats only for an hour and then it hurts more than before
Fun fact: in Germany the Federal Holidays Law (BUrlG) mandates two weeks of uninterrupted time per year so people can actually recover from work (with some exceptions of course, but heavily restricted)
Yes, we have it in Switzerland too. Most probably most of the European countries have it.
Love that Dr Mike says Americans like to work, as if most people choose to limit their vacation time that dramatically.
American workers are not given paid vacation majority of the time (especially low wage jobs like retail and food industry) so most people cannot afford to take vacation, it’s not that they don’t want to-they aren’t given a choice
He's a doctor so he likely gets about 5-6 weeks off each year. We peasants aren't as lucky.
Exactly.
True. That's the main reason. But hustle culture/being a workaholic is a very American thing too.
@@eklectiktoniThis a chicken or egg thing? Hustle culture/workaholism vs borked labor policies?
I shower at night usually because I have long thick hair and I let it air dry because using a blow dryer even with a diffuser turns it into a frizzy mess. Wrap my hair in a turbo twisty and let it try overnight while I'm sleeping so it's perfect for the morning. Also like what Dr Mike said about showers cooling you down, I sleep hot all the time so I shower really does help me be more comfortable for sleeping.
Whats a turbo twisty?
@@KawaiiAnime1992 when you have long hair and wrap it in a towel to help it dry faster! Assuming turbo is just a really good, tight twist haha
@@AKindOfDog yeah it's like an actual product they make to make it easier to twist your hair up like that but it's basically like a towel thing
Showers before going to bed make me unable to fall asleep, but baths make me very relaxed. I particularly like to have a nice soak after work, it soothes back muscles aching from sitting at the desk.
9:53 no no no no no shower at night so it feels better and you can sleep faster while showering in the morning is also good but showering at night is for all the bad germs you picked up through out the day.
LMAO you still should shower in the morning because you just rubbed all over your skin oils and shower water through the night
10:41 "Your stomach is confused cause you injected it with a caffeine sugar bomb first thing in the morning"
Europeans: Well...😬
Starbucks is the worst😭
Showering at night after the gym, a little fabric perfume on the sheets....the best feeling ever! 😊
Nah, the best feeling ever is going to bed after showering wearing your freshly laundered pjs and slipping into your freshly laundered bedsheets. MMMMMM yes.
I shower at morning so I don't go among people smelly. I shower in the evening so I don't drag all that old sweat, bacteria, dirt, and other such things in the bed with me. Ever been to public toilet? Noticed the smell? That tiny particles of feces and urine and vomit hitting your nose. Every smell gets tiny particles all over you. Going to bed like that is gross.
An apple a day DOES keep the doctor away. You've just got to throw it accurately and hard enough. 😊
Reminds me of a picture of a sign that I saw that says "An apple a day will keep anyone away if you throw it hard enough."
the joke

It depends on impact velocity.
My allergist told me to shower at night to make sure the pollen is cleaned off before sleep. Also saves a ton of time drying my hair etc in the morning
Someone get this man some Dino nuggets STAT! How does he not know they are premade and just in the frozen section ? 😂😂😂 Gotta love Dr. Mike
I'm literally eating dino nuggets while watching lol
Dino nuggets are the best!
More people need to focus on their mental health. The importance is just as much as your physical health. Talking to someone, sleep, laughter, resting when your body tells you it's tired, even if you cannot sleep, is important. Getting a break from social media, or technology can help so much too. We push ourselves to much, ignore our feelings and human connection. The negative effects anxiety, stress, and depression have on your body can actually make you ill. Please remember to slow down, take time for yourself, your heart and mind will thank you. ❤
Dr Mike, thank you for talking to us short people with respect. As a little person (4ft 6) due to the rare genetic disorder Turner’s syndrome, I have had people treat me like a child, treat me like a freak, I mean sometimes people have rested their elbows on my head, wanted to take pictures with me because the height difference is funny to them and hold things over my head so I couldn’t reach them, or put things up high out of my reach. It’s nice when people actually treat you with dignity and respect, instead of making you self conscious of your height, or making things more difficult for us. Something as simple as bringing the microphone down to our level instead of making us have to reach for it makes things so much easier, so thank you for thinking of that.
Those people are terrible and definitely rude..
My older sister (25 years old) is 4ft 8 and yeah it's awesome when people really take into account the height difference and try their best to accommodate the shorter person in a conversation.
I'm 4'11 I used to be bullied about my height. I really do appreciate when people talk to me respectfully and not judge me anymore on my height. It makes me feel good and more confident.
Your editor does an incredible job. Laughing so hard
Hi Doctor Mike, I love your videos! I recently went to the emergency room because I felt weak and pressure in my chest and back pain. It turns out there is a giant cystic mass next to my heart. I had to stay in the hospital for two days. I looked at my bill; the stay cost 11k plus all the medical procedures came out to 40k. I have insurance, so It covers most. They drained the thing, and it relieved the pressure. However, 2 weeks later, it re-filled. I went back to the emergency room; I waited 8 hours. They then put me in an ambulance for surgery. When I got there, I waited another 8 hours, then they said it won't happen until the 29th. They just wanted to see me. WTF. I don't understand our health system at all; why did they want to see me charge me million dollars to tell me they would see me in 2 weeks? They have it all in their system. Sorry needed to rant. It's ridiculous, and I'm putting up with it until then. I hope something changes soon
Hope you get better soon! Stay strong!
Could asking for an itemized bill help? I've beard lsiple doing the and their bill reduced some
7:20 oop…I came here for a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now 😂
6:58 Correction: Most people do like having holidays - even in the United States - but since the United States doesn't have work rights which include paid holidays, unpaid holidays, parental leave, minimum wage for all jobs and taking on 50% of the insurance costs, many people don't experience that (or get fired immediately if they ask for it). That's why in the United States, they call all of this "benefits" and use it as marketing to get employees, whereas in the rest of the world, it's fundamental labour laws ensuring these rights to everybody no matter how many hours they work or which position they have.
no, we literally just care more about work and making money, sorry
Someone’s gotta give Dr. Mike some dinosaur chicken nuggets
Would we have to send him the dino nugget press as he suggested?
@@jpakaferrari I mean, if you're feeling up to it
I can find frozen dinosaur chicken nuggets at my local grocery store. I mean, I haven’t looked in a while, but I’d be surprised if they weren’t widely available
Oh Mike, we want the vacations. I was once told if I left to go to my grandmother’s funeral and took more than a day off I wouldn’t have a job when I got back. I lived in California, the service was in TX. The math didn’t math.
Mike talks about how he showers in the morning
Me: Wait, so he doesn't shower after coming home from the hospital?
I generally perfer showering at night, as it means I'm not going to bed all gunky from the day, especially during the warmer months.
