Dark Therapy Improves Sleep Quality

Dark therapy, specifically using blue light blockers, has shown significant improvements in sleep for insomnia patients. Studies indicated that wearing the blockers led to longer and earlier sleep, as well as enhanced sleep quality. Additionally, the use of blockers alongside CBT insomnia not only improved sleep but also reduced anxiety and depression. Cognitive test performance also showed enhancement due to better sleep quality.
