I tend to spend considerably more time in the warm, steamy bathroom after my shower. My showers range from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. (Yes, 30 seconds includes my hair). Where I really take my time is with applying lotion and drying my hair, which is best enjoyed in a steamy room.

I used to enjoy setting my stop watch to perfect the speed of my morning routine. I don't bother with the stopwatch anymore, but once you've perfected the 30 second shower, anything longer is torture.
I don't know that I can get it down to 30 seconds--I need to let my face wash sit on my face for at least 30 seconds, or it feels like a waste to just wash the glycolic acid in it down the drain. I would also say the longer shower isn't torture for me; it just begins to feel wasteful after I've done the things I need to do in the shower.
