As well as the physical and mental benefits of being clean I find it also gives one a chance to get some much-needed isolation away from one's fellow travelers for even a few minutes. I quite enjoy flying - am about go from Tallinn -> Frankfurt -> Singapore -> Adelaide - but interacting with people I don't know I find very tiring. It's one reason I much prefer travelling with my wife; our shared 'personal space bubble' when seated together is much bigger.

Am really looking forward to the shower in Singapore after a 12.5hr flight!

Why do you have to interact with people you don't know?

If you are in economy you have seat neighbours - you have to ask permission to get up from your seat for example (or have others asking you). It happens occasionally in business class too.
