For these people that claim taking cold showers, I want water temp. Out of the tap, in summer, my water is 53 degrees (f), upper 40s in winter. I'm not sure I could get through a whole shower sans hypothermia.
Edit: looked it up. 30min-2hr for hypothermia at that range. Typically I take a 15-20 minute shower, so only flirting with hypothermia.
I love a hot, hot shower. Best advancement in technology in the last thousand years
- nojs 4y agoHa, I have been taking cold showers for a few months, and recording water temp for interest. Currently it’s about 11C/52F. No hypothermia yet :)
- wtetzner 4y agoI suspect that if you start taking cold showers, you’ll also star taking shorter showers.
- strken 4y agoMy showers are about five minutes, a habit from growing up on tank water during a drought. Water on, jump in, wet your hair, soap, shampoo, wait a minute, rinse, conditioner, wait a minute, rinse, jump out. Cold showers are great motivation to be even faster. Interestingly, one of the theories behind why cold showers might be good for you is that they induce a heat shock response, same as a very hot shower.
