20 minutes, at least. It's my "alone time" (without the masturbatory connotation) and I use it for thinking, reflecting, planning the day, etc., - the sort of thing people do while drinking their coffee, or before going to sleep, because I don't really do either. It's a chance to be totally naked (mentally and literally) and just think, while getting what is essentially a massage in a really hot, steamy, room. Sometimes I even turn off the lights and shower in the dark, like if I have a headache or tired eyes. It's really nice - I'd call it religious if the word weren't so thoroughly ruined by religion.

I know it's a phenomenal waste of water and so there's a little bit of guilt, but I conserve in many other ways. I imagine a bath has a similar effect for some, but I've never really enjoyed baths.. I don't like being totally submerged and soaked in dirt water..
