Lygophilia

|
Lygophilia is an abnormal desire to be in dark or gloomy places (from the Greek word "lyge", meaning "twilight").
People do not usually 'suffer' from Lygophilia, but rather choose to use it. Typically a term used in the belief of Satanism, people who are Lygophilic like to be in dark places, or travel at night.
According to basic Psychology, the term Lygophilia is forgotten frequently for its loss of usage in the modern day society like 'dhat' and 'echolalia'.
Ergo, Lygophilia is most commonly used for the aid of sleep, romantic technique, and deep meditation, but the effect is short at best.
Patients who have been diagnosed as allergic to the sunlight have developed cases of mild Lygophilia, or in otherwords, they prefer to live in darkness, rather than light.
