What do you mean myth? They definitely wake you up.

Or has some other benefit been attributed to them?

    There are some claimed benefits of cold showers that don't really hold up, as far as I understood. Like for muscle growth after a workout for example. And for waking you up, any shower will do that to you. Even a splash of water in your face. 👍

    It's a myth because hot shower wakes you up just as good. Just today I blasted myself with hot shower after rough sleep and I got that "wow" feeling in how quickly I seemingly opened my eyes and felt fine

    Idk, too enjoyable for me. I need it to be uncomfortable to get the waking up effect. But then I like and can afford slow mornings so I don't actually need to wake up quickly.
