You’ve probably heard of soaking in a candlelit tub🕯️🛁now people are taking it one (questionable) step further.
The latest viral “wellness” craze is called dark showering, meaning you shower with the lights completely off. Yep, you just… shower in total darkness. 🚿😬
So why are people doing this? Supposedly, turning off the lights before bed helps your body relax. Experts claim it signals your brain that it’s time to rest — reducing cortisol (the stress hormone) and increasing melatonin (the sleep hormone). 💤✨
Sounds peaceful, right? Sure. But also… how are you supposed to find your shampoo? 😅
It might make more sense to start small: try dim lighting instead of total darkness, or switch to a warm amber light before bed. 🔆 That gives you the calming vibes without the risk of slipping and breaking your neck in the name of wellness. 🚑
So yeah — “dark showering” might calm your mind, but maybe keep a nightlight handy just in case. 😉
