best done with a debilitating migraine.
if you're the type to fear a goblin with bloody eyes and no legs yanking the shower curtain open while you get the shampoo out of your eyes--just turn on your phone's flashlight!
if using this method, obscure it partially for just a sliver of light to see the products you're using or bounce it off the floor. i also like to pair it with some gentle (if not melodramatic) music. my choice is often Water Forest by Ichiko Hashimoto.
observe the way the water droplets refract the light. feel the sensation of them rolling off your shoulders and the smell of your water pipes. pretend you are a beautiful tragic figure and fetishize your suffering.
it's fabulous!

showering, half-drying my hair, then sleeping makes my hair look good in the morning idrk how, but that's a main reason i do night showers. if i shower during the day, i like to (but don't always) do a polar plunge before a shower and the salt has the same effect.
a good bath with some nice music, maybe some incense? always good to do every once in a while

Just to spice things up. (bonus points for not listening to music if you're a music in the shower person)
