Comments
Melatonin is beneficial for wellbeing. The body seem to produce more of it in the dark, hence, dark therapy may be beneficial as a consequence of such an increase
Dark therapy does not always involve the turning out of all the lights
Wearing glasses with amber coloured lenses will block out the blue part of sunlight, and the eyes and brain are made to believe that it is dark. This makes the body produce more melatonin
