Shower at night

In a nod to doing what works for me, rather than following conventional wisdom, I have recently found myself taking showers at night, sometimes even right before bed. (Usually, this is because I've exercised in the early evening but then got pulled into dinner, Connor's bedtime, etc. before I could squeeze in a few minutes for a shower.) Anyway, I've found that showering late doesn't leave me wide awake and unable to relax. Quite the opposite - I feel all warm and snuggly, and am quite ready to snooze for the evening! I also think I sleep better as a result of getting exercise on most days. (Not that I slept poorly before - I've always slept well enough, it's just even better now.) It reminds me to keep things in balance - to make sure I get not only enough activity every day, but also enough rest!
