Darkness offers a sort of natural medicine too – releasing melatonin, which helps sleep, acts as an antioxidant and stimulates the immune system. The change in rhythm offers a sanctuary from to-do lists and deadlines, from clock-watching and schedules, and provides a conducive atmosphere for reflection and contemplation. The “otherness” of the dark, the mystery and unknown quality engender excitement and intrigue – and don’t underestimate the impact of simply beholding a confection of stars. I’ve spent hundreds of nights outside in a long career as outdoorsman, and have been consistently romanced by the night’s seduction. But even without them, the nightworld has many attractions. There is the nocturnal wildlife that emerges in the dark to escape persecution by daylight, and as a fruitful time to forage: bats, badgers and owls to name a few. Under the cover of darkness, our familiar environments are transformed into something mysterious, which means an array of treasures await those who step out of the comforting warmth and lights of home. But by shutting ourselves away in artificially lit homes we’ve become exiled from the enchantment of the night.
