ok so it's like my 5th day taking cold showers in a row. (I live in michigan so it's cold af so I start with warm water then I gradually make it ice cold)
Not even kidding there are like huge benefits so far.
1. I feel so much happier at school.
2. I seem to be talking to random people so much more now. (Random coversations)
3. I suck a little less at tf2.
4. It's harder for me to sweat in super hot classrooms or when exercising.
5. I remember to say hi to people much more. Or maybe im just noticing how i feel like such a good person now.
6. I'm not falling asleep in classes that easily.
Cold showers are fucking great or maybe it's just placebo.

I do think it's personal preference/placebo but I take cold showers in the summer and I can agree with you that they are great.

You can just have 1 min of very cold shower at the end and it works

It's good for your skin and actually helps you lose fat. Also meant to be good for your mental health too I heard.

Cold showers in the winter suck if you don't have the heater on

I have to be up for school around 5:30am each morning, and I always end my showers with 30 seconds of just the cold water running. If I don't do it, it takes me the first few hours of my day to really wake up. 30 seconds of mild pain is absolutely worth 2-4 hours of really productive morning time.

Been doing this for a couple years, and I feel like I've really turned around from being a lazy bum to a fairly productive, good student. Obviously, there were a lot of other life changes/ big decisions that happened over that time, but I feel this is definitely a contributing factor.

My grandfather always recommended to me ending a shower with cold water. 100% agree with him it's very nice and good for your mood/health.

Funny story, I was reading a health book, for high school students, from 1908 and it too recommended cold showers to "exercise your capillaries" now while I doubt that's actually a thing that's possible to do, I too have been on the cold shower train.

I actually prefer to use no hot whatsoever, and I often find myself laughing sort of maniacally before I get in and really enjoy the rush. It also massively cuts down on the amount of time I waste in the shower which is nice for my bills.

MarxistFunny story, I was reading a health book, for high school students, from 1908 and it too recommended cold showers to "exercise your capillaries" now while I doubt that's actually a thing that's possible to do

This is one of the main health advantages of cold showers. Your cardiovascular system goes through significant work to literally retract inwards when you're suddenly faced with extreme cold. And unless you live in an extremely cold climate and decide to go out under dressed, this response is very infrequently exercised. Also good for the nervous system I've heard, but I know less about that.

I took cold showers for like 5 months straight in 2017. I felt amped after the showers and it made it really hard to feel cold at all in the hour or so after, but I definitely can not report any of the results like others about increased productivity and especially not it influencing social confidence. Great for waking up the brain and lowering your cold threshold, dunno beyond that

hm we might be on to something... i take warm/hot showers only BUT i live in toronto and dont wear a jacket or boots, and im a very happy person in general. maybe just being cold every so often helps with mood?

As a high school soccer player last year, I took cold baths with absolutely no hot water whatsoever during the summer and must I say it was a daily challenge. They're great for your recovery and you feel great afterwards, but getting yourself to fully submerge your body takes some serious willpower. My mindset was always, suffer for a couple minutes now, and hours of your life will be improved, and it always did. I stopped falling asleep in class and I was much more energetic on the field and in my daily life. I don't have much experience with cold showers, but I'm sure any type of cold water exposure would be beneficial both mentally and physically.
