Dark therapy is the practice of keeping people in complete darkness for extended periods of time in an attempt to treat psychological conditions. The human body produces the melatonin hormone, which is responsible for supporting the circadian rhythms. Darkness seems to help keep these circadian rhythms stable. Dark therapy was said to be founded by a German anthropologist by the name of Holger Kalweit. A form of dark therapy is to block blue wavelength lights to stop the disintegration of melatonin. Some studies have shown this process improves the health of the human body, such as by minimizing headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, and insomnia.

  • Terapia da escuridão é a prática de manter as pessoas em completa escuridão por longos períodos de tempo na tentativa de tratar determinadas condições psicológicas. O corpo humano produz a hormona melatonina, que é responsável por apoiar os ritmos circadianos. A escuridão parece ajudar a manter esses ritmos circadianos estáveis. Alega-se que a terapia da escuridão foi fundada por um antropólogo alemão chamado Holger Kalweit. Uma forma de terapia no escuro é bloquear as luzes de comprimento de onda azuis para interromper a desintegração da melatonina. Alguns estudos mostraram que esse processo melhora a saúde do corpo humano, minimizando dores de cabeça, síndrome da fadiga crónica e insónia. (pt)

  • العلاج المعتم هو عادة إبقاء الأشخاص في عتمة تامة لفترات معينة من الوقت بغرض علاج بعض الحالات النفسية، يقوم جسد الأنسان بإفراز هرمون الميلاتونين المسؤول عن تنظيم الساعة البيولوجية في جسم الإنسان، حيث يدعي (بواسطة من !) البعض أن العلاج المعتم يقوم بحجب الضوء الأزرق ذا الأطوال الموجية التي قد تعمل علي تكسير هرمون الميلاتونين، يدعي البعض أن هذه العملية تريح من متلازمة التعب المزمن والأرق وصداع الرأس.(في حاجة لمصدر ثانوي) لقد كان وليد بحث في عام 1998 الذي اقترح أن تعرض البشر لفترات متتالية لظلمة منظمة يغير من مزاجيتهم , ومؤخراً وبعد اكتشاف خلايا الشبكية العقدية الحساسة الجوهرية شيع أن حجب الضوء أزرق اللون قد يكون له نفس التأثير، كعلاج محتمل لإضطراب ثنائي القطب [1], أعتبر الباحثون المستكشفين للزجاج المانع للضوء الأزرق أن هذا العلاج لا يمكن له أن يحل محل العلاج النفسي بل قد يُعد إضافة له.

  • Dark therapy is the practice of keeping people in complete darkness for extended periods of time in an attempt to treat psychological conditions. The human body produces the melatonin hormone, which is responsible for supporting the circadian rhythms. Darkness seems to help keep these circadian rhythms stable. Dark therapy was said to be founded by a German anthropologist by the name of Holger Kalweit. A form of dark therapy is to block blue wavelength lights to stop the disintegration of melatonin. Some studies have shown this process improves the health of the human body, such as by minimizing headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, and insomnia. The idea originated in 1998 from research which suggested that systematic exposure to darkness might alter people's mood. Original studies enforced 14 hours of darkness to bipolar patients for three nights straight. This study showed a decrease of manic episodes in the patients. Participation in this study became unrealistic, as patients did not want to participate in treatment of total darkness from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. More recently, with the discovery of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, it has been hypothesized that similar results could be achieved by blocking blue light, as a potential treatment for bipolar disorder. Researchers exploring blue-blocking glasses have so far considered dark therapy only as an add-on treatment to be used together with psychotherapy, rather than a replacement for other therapies. Another study consisting of healthy females and males suggested that a single exposure to blue light after being kept in a dim setting could improve health and reduce sleepiness. Contrary to the original claim that decreasing the amount of blue light could help with insomnia, this study suggested improvement with blue light exposure. (en)
