I definitely feel a lot cleaner walking out of a cold shower than a hot one. Plus it definitely has some benefits for my skin, I'm not breaking out as much as I usually do.

But also I've been sleeping better, taking one before bed helps a lot. Also taking one when I wake up has nearly eliminated my need for coffee in the morning. I even think I may have lost a pound or two, and I haven't changed my diet or work out routine at all.

Plus it's the best hangover cure. Used to take hot showers when I woke up hung over, but nah, jump in a cold one.

    Cold showers are great for my mental health, personally. I feel more awake after them, I feel more prepared to deal with anything unpleasant (I've already overcome the hurdle of cold water, after all), when I get out of the shower I feel relief because the air feels warm instead of how terrible and cold it feels when you're done with a hot shower, etc.

    It's definitely good. Not ideal for every circumstance though.
