Why Do Some People Prefer Darkness to Light?

Some people feel safe and comfortable in the dark, just like a cozy blanket on a chilly night.

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek. When it's light, everyone can see you, that means you have to hide really well! But when it gets dark, everything becomes mysterious, like magic. You can imagine things are hiding too, and that makes the game more fun. Some people love this feeling of not knowing what’s around the corner.

Why Darkness Feels Magical
