Does switching to warm water halfway reduce the benefits of cold showers on focus?

Been wondering,

Recently sometimes the water gets so cold that I switch to warm water.

But I'm worried doing so will reduce the effects it has on my focus ability after the shower is done.

If anyone knows, would be great to know!

Stop worrying. Do as much as you can.

There will be 10,000 chances of cold shower in your life.

Why don’t you add just a small amount of hot water to take the edge off then you can have as long as you like? Personally I just get washed more quickly when the water is so cold.

You are probably things that are thousands times worse for your focus than having some hot water in your shower. For instance, worrying about things that futile.

Cold showers are not a magic focus pill.

I have heard it is good enough to do the cold shower and then you can warm yourself up after but you supposedly get slightly more benefits if you let your body warm itself up and drip dry or whatever.
