What is nyctophobia?
Nyctophobia is an intense fear of darkness or nighttime — beyond the mild unease many children experience. It can cause significant anxiety and sleep difficulties in adults. Underlying the fear is often anxiety about vulnerability or what might happen when visibility is reduced. Exposure therapy and cognitive approaches are effective treatments. Lovon is available late at night — exactly when fear tends to peak.
