The answer

Bathing is permissible at all times, including between Maghrib and Asr, due to the absence of any specific prohibition, contrary to the opinion of some scholars who deem entering the bathhouse reprehensible just before sunset and between the two 'Isha prayers, especially since this time is when devils spread. As for sleeping after Asr, some of the Salaf disliked it and mentioned that it causes waswas (obsessive whispering), but it is originally permissible as long as it does not lead to neglecting an obligation like prayer.
