Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's the significance of taking a dark shower.
- 0:03Speaker 2: It's to help you unwind.
- 0:05Speaker 1: And this is a thing people have been doing.
- 0:06Speaker 2: This is becoming a little bit of a thing. So
- 0:08Speaker 2: you know, how will you and I take showers in
- 0:11Speaker 2: the evening?
- 0:12Speaker 1: Right it's dark outside.
- 0:13Speaker 2: It's definitely dark outside. Now a lot of people do
- 0:16Speaker 2: they take a shower before they go to bed because
- 0:19Speaker 2: it helps them to unwind. But now there's a trend
- 0:22Speaker 2: to take a dark shower, maybe very low light or
- 0:26Speaker 2: no light. I don't think I could pull that off,
- 0:29Speaker 2: knowing me a trip over something, it wouldn't end well.
- 0:32Speaker 2: But if you take a shower in the dark and
- 0:35Speaker 2: you lower the visual stimulation, you can calm down your
- 0:38Speaker 2: nervous system, maybe not have those racing thoughts.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Wow, okay, because I mean to me, a shower does
- 0:45Speaker 1: that anyway, but you could probably enhance it even more
- 0:48Speaker 1: when you bring down the lights.
- 0:49Speaker 2: When you take a shower, you don't find that you
- 0:50Speaker 2: have shower thoughts and like.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I do, but I'm also just feeling relaxed because the
- 0:55Speaker 1: steam and the heat.
- 0:56Speaker 2: You're letting, You're letting it do what it needs to do.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but if you take one at night, like
- 1:02Speaker 1: you mentioned, like we do, and producer Christen told us
- 1:04Speaker 1: off the air that she takes one in the morning
- 1:06Speaker 1: and night. But if you're looking to really calm down,
- 1:10Speaker 1: that makes sense.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Actually right, this is only for calming down. So if
- 1:13Speaker 2: you want to go to work in the morning and
- 1:14Speaker 2: take a shower, you don't want to do it in
- 1:16Speaker 2: the dark.
- 1:16Speaker 1: You want like all the light.
- 1:17Speaker 2: You want to wake yourself up. Yeah, this is just
- 1:19Speaker 2: a way to try try and chill out.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Although you know what though, taking a dark shower, you
- 1:24Speaker 1: know the times where you want the water a little
- 1:25Speaker 1: bit warmer. I feel like, what if you're not able
- 1:28Speaker 1: to see the knob?
- 1:29Speaker 2: Oh, that's what I'm saying. I can't go. I can't know,
- 1:33Speaker 2: can't go completely dark. Low lights, I mean candle lights
- 1:36Speaker 2: sound really pretty, but you know that could be dangerous too,
- 1:39Speaker 2: because my cat Archie just always barges in when I'm
- 1:41Speaker 2: in the shower.
- 1:42Speaker 1: So, yeah, candles, I don't want a cat happened.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Not a good combo.
