第4話 - 4.Increase in Anxiety and Depression
Sleeping in the dark may have a surprising effect on our mental health. Studies have shown that exposure to artificial light at night can disrupt our natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to an increased risk of anxiety and depression. When our circadian rhythm is disrupted, it can affect the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood. Additionally, lack of quality sleep can contribute to increased stress levels and decreased resilience to emotional challenges. So, it's essential to create a dark sleeping environment to support optimal mental health and promote a positive mood.
