I think the second link you gave turned into a little dirty thread in the end.
Anyway, I am an AM shower-er. I picked up this when I was staying in California for a home-stay program for the summer. In my native country, I was a PM shower-er (or rather, bather)
I used to shower in the morning, but have become lazy the last few months and now shower in the evening. I'll try to make the showers as short as possible--usually between 5-10 minutes. Sometimes I'll take longer ones when I feel the need to relax or warm up.
whenever the kids will let me. this stay home parent gig is tough!
what i really miss is college and military showers with seemingly unlimited hot water, and not needing to worry about paying the utility bill as a result of the hour long shower. aah, the good old days.
now the bills and the obvious waste of water keep me to 5 minutes or less...

I take long showers, usually until all the hot water is gone.
I usually use up all the hot water, too, per shower, but that's also because our water heater is the size of a soup can.
10 minute morning shower almost all the time. If I need anything longer than that I take a bath in the evening.
Morning - like coffee
Then after workout or whenever I feel it is needed...
Never takes too long - less than 10 minutes.

I take them at night.. they're always exactly 15 minutes. You could time a pie that takes 15 minutes to bake by it!
In the morning. I just can't stay awake if I don't. Getting up at 4 am to get to 7 am classes is just dreadful, I need all the help I can get!
It's so hot at the moment that I've just taken to swimming a quick couple of laps in the pool instead. That reminds me. I should probably get some more pool salt.
It just takes 15 minutes to get clean.
I've been following the same cleaning routine for years now, so I'm used to it. It just happens to be 15 minutes. If I even try to make it longer, I can't.. I just can't do it!
I also like that it's 1/4 of an hour, 90° on the clock, and 15 is divisible by only 1, 3, and 5-- the first three odd numbers of positive whole numbers.
so maybe also a little OCD, but mostly routine.
It improves the taste. Pepper's good, too, but it clouds the water too much and can make your eyes burn.
so the boiling point of the water is raised and it's easier to cook him to tender perfection.
