On a slightly related note: I've never been able to get into the "start your day with a cold shower" thing, and find myself skeptical of its health benefits. I find that I need a very warm shower to massage my muscles, while a cold shower leaves them cramped and sore, reducing my ability to heal from exercise and engage in extensive physical activities through the week.

- philwelch 8y agoThe best I've ever been able to do is a James Bond shower--wash hot and then rinse cold. The main benefits of the cold rinse seem to be psychological rather than physical: you've done something very uncomfortable, which makes you feel like a badass, and it wakes you up a little bit, too.
