Why "Dark Showering" Could Be the Secret to Better Sleep, According to Psychologists
Say hello to your new nighttime routine.
Taking a shower is already one of the humblest but most fulfilling self-care acts. The warm water cascading down your back, the scent of your favorite shampoo or body wash doing its work, the way your mind settles. Who knew that flipping the light switch to take a shower in the dark could level up the experience? In recent months, the “dark showering” trend has surged across social media as more people give it a go and realize it’s actually kind of powerful.
What Is Dark Showering?
Dark showering is exactly what it sounds like: Taking a shower while the lights are turned off so the lighting is dim rather than bright. You’re still cleaning per usual, but the purpose goes far beyond hygiene.
