Our stone-age ancestors were acutely aware that at sunset, they were at a heightened risk of being attacked by enemy tribes or devoured by nocturnal predators in the pitch-black night. This primal fear, rooted in survival, still shapes our modern-day apprehension towards darkness.

Darkness is a formidable force. It doesn't matter who you are-it can induce fear and anxiety, disrupt sleep, dampen enthusiasm for activities, and even strain relationships. Sometimes, there are no clear reasons for these feelings; other times, there are terrifying ones.
