Does anyone else forget if they washed their hair of not while having an epiphany? Also, I feel weird telling anyone it came to me while I was in the shower. Like I'm putting the image of me in the shower in their head.
I'm more likely to mindlessly apply body soap to my hair or shampoo to my body when solving problems in the shower. I'm always amused when my autopilot makes this mistake.

I also forget. Thankfully hair-washing is an idempotent operation for guys :) .
Another highly recommended activity if you're fishing for the epiphany moment: walking a longish course you have walked many times before. This what I do when it is socially unacceptable to hop in the shower for the third time in the day.
Before, I used to go for a walk to do that. I also had ideas under the shower. I have found meditation to be more efficient in term of focus.
I have become addicted to having long thinking session in the shower. I probably shower too much. I often go in there. Make sure all lights are off. Usually sit or lay in bathtub with just shower on. Close eyes and relax and think(and daydream). It's sorta like a combination massage / isolation chamber effect for me. Spending time doing this daily keeps me centered, focused, clear minded, and lastly reduces any tempo…
When you learn things, you do so in a focused mode using working memory. Working memory can be thought of as a re-wipeable white/black board. The information,skill,idea is called a CHUNK and is encoded into a weak neural loop . You strengthen loose understanding through practice and repetition. A chunk has no context. Context is how a chunk fits into the big picture of what you already know. At a neural level, contex…

It's also extremely resource intensive unless you recycle your waste water; nothing wrong with baths!
Google tells me the average bath uses 35-50 gallons of water, while the average shower uses 2 gallons per minute. Which puts the breakeven point at say 15-25 minutes. Although if you live in the midwest like I do, we have infinite water. Use more water? it goes back to lake Michigan and recycled. The gas to heat the water is the only "waste", but you could offset with a solar panel.
