I do this if I take one before bed. Relaxes me and also helps my eyes acclimate to the darkness
Oh yeah.
By bathroom light is motion activated. The sensor doesn’t see into the shower, so if I don’t wave at it every few minutes the light goes out.
A lot of the time I don’t bother. Super relaxing.
I would love to try but intrusive thought won’t let…
Yeah, I do that. I also soak in the tub with ears submerged for audio blunting as well. Very sensory-deprivation. Quite relaxing.
Not complete darkness. I got a nice warm led night light just bright enough that I can see what I’m doing. But yeah going spa mode after a long cold day is very nice
Only if I bring my life size bathclown with me with the chefs knife attachment and realistic glowing eyes.
Yes, reminds me of back when I was inside my mother’s womb.
No, because the monsters would get me.
Same. As a horror movie junkie, there are an abundance of shower scenarios that would pop into my head whilst in the dark.
Monsters don’t eat wet human
All humans are wet on the inside
but the ones wet on the outside are icky ok.
im a picky eater dont judge.
I shall attempt
i’m autistic and have quite the sensibilities, including to light. taking a shower is something that has always been extremely calming to me, it shuts a lot of my brain down, including, sometimes, my anxiety disorder part. taking a shower in the dark is the closest thing to a state of pure inner bliss i can reach easily.
I have ADHD and it’s similar for me. What also helps is background rain noise. Did you try that? Im using cozy time on my PC as it also can play additional relaxing music and has a pomodoro timer.
it’s not enough for me. i have heavy rain currently and while it does calm me down, it’s only one sense that is being stimulated. it’s really the water running all over me that does the trick and the light of lights makes it that much easier to just disappear in my mind.
Also autistic, I very much enjoy baths in darkness or very low light.
Poor man’s isolation tank.
exactly! :D
I split the difference. Shower with a candle in the room. Transparent shower curtain.
This is how all horror scenes start with white people and their candles in the bathroom.
Only when it’s voluntary. I once had the power go out while I was in the shower. My thirty-something ass instantly aged into an octogenarian convinced he was breaking a hip on the way to open the bathroom door.
I do it everyday actually! Nice to see someone else doing it too
I knew a chick who would also put on blind fold sleep mask and earplugs… they seemed to like it but I’ve never tried
It’s like their own sensory deprivation chamber
Everyday day after work. I have a “nightlight” that I turn on. Other that that all my showers are in darkness. I think it’s a way for me to decompress after being bombarded by artificial light for 10+ throughout my work day. Took my until I was 35 to realize how sensitive i was to light, especially artificial
