Even to Washing hands. Sometimes when I first get up, my back protests about bending over so much to be able to wash hands in my bathroom sink.

Building code has a small range of allowed counter and sink heights, and it’s definitely not for the benefit of taller people. A buddy of mine has vessel sinks, adding like 4” to the height and it is so much easier

Yeah something as simple as washing your hands can be painful at times when you are above average height. The vanities are too short and the faucets set too low. While my wife doesn't want them in the bathroom, I did put a tall goose neck faucet on the kitchen sink. I don't need to bend over to use it, so I tend to wash my hands in the kitchen. I would recommend installing one if you can.
