Therefore, in this situation, “it is better to take a shower at the beginning of the day to put yourself in an optimal state of creativity”, explains Shelley Carson, professor of psychology at Harvard University.
She adds: “If you have a creative problem to solve and you’ve been tossing and turning for a long time, looking for a solution but without success, then a shower might help you to relax and improve your state of mind.”
