There's nothing quite like the feeling of slipping into a warm bubble bath and sipping on a chilled glass of white wine.
Or rinsing your hair in the shower while slurping on an ice-cold bottle of beer.
It's so wrong, but so right.
Think we're weird? Well, so is Margot Robbie.
According to the Suicide Squad actress – who is currently working night shoots in Budapest for her upcoming film Terminal – the best way to wind down after a long day (or night, in her case) of filming is with a 'beer shower' (or shower beer as the rest of us call it).
'I like to have a beer shower — a nice beer in the shower. When I did Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, I was saying, 'Oh, my God, I can't wait to go home,' and Tina Fey's costume lady was like, 'Me too. I can't wait to go home and have a beer shower.' I was like, 'What's a beer shower?' She said she drinks an ice-cold beer in a boiling-hot bath or shower, and it made her sleep,' she told Harper's Bazaar.
'I was like, 'That sounds perfect!' So now when I get home from work, I have a beer shower or a beer bath if I have time,' she added.
Could we love Margot anymore?
Here's what else we learnt from a day-in-the-life of the 26-year-old star.
2pm: She likes to drink milky PG Tips tea
'Whenever someone makes me a cup of tea, I'm like, 'Imagine you're making it for a small child—really milky and sweet.' I probably drink at least 10 teas a day. In our family, a cup of tea is the answer to everything.
2.20pm: She practices dialects with her coach in the car
'Today we're working on an English accent, not fully cockney but similar. It's tailored to work for the character. I do all my research for accents on YouTube. It's amazing; you can find the most bizarre or unique accents online. Then I convert it to MP3 and put it on my iPod. I can listen and mimic throughout the day.'
3pm: She eats avocado on toast and bacon for breakfast (and steak) in the makeup bus
It's random, but I went to this really good steak restaurant two nights ago and I had steak left over, and I was like, 'Goddamn, I can't wait until lunch, I want to eat it now.'
10pm: She has lunch when we go to bed
'We break for lunch, and that's when I schedule all my conference calls and interviews. Then we begin shooting again until late.'
5am: She doesn't sleep well
'I rush home because the priority is to get as much sleep as possible. I'm something of an insomniac; I've got eye masks and sleep music and melatonin and lots of soothing scents. I do everything possible to try to sleep better. I can't go home and fall straight asleep; it takes a long time to switch my brain off.'
6.30am: She has a beer shower and then reads Harry Potter
'I'm a massive Harry Potter nerd, and although I've read the books probably 20 times each, I read Harry Potter before bed and it helps me switch my brain off.'
If a topsy-turvy work schedule makes you look like Margot Robbie, we'll all for working night shifts.
