It is believed that taking a cold shower or bath first thing in the morning can cause illness or injury due to its shock on the body’s system when still weakened from sleep. Additionally, public baths are popular among locals as a way to relax and unwind after a long day or week at work or school. There is an increase in western-style bathing habits among younger generations with more opting for quick showers over long baths due to busy lifestyles and work schedules. During summer months it is not uncommon for some Japanese people to take cold showers first thing in the morning as a way to cool down during hot summer days; however this practice is not widely adopted by all individuals.
