Lit room: lots of things scattered around, colors, visual noise, over stimulating
Dark room: dark, not very visible, less/no noise, not (necessarily as) overstimulating
anecdote
The most relaxed I have ever been was in the middle of a huge snowstorm the wind died down and the flakes were huge, I couldn’t hear anything, it was after sunset so once the flashlight was off it was pitch black, and with my coveralls, hoodie, thick coat, gloves and scarf I was warm and couldn’t really feel much of the outside. I just laid down for about 40ish minutes, occasionally seeing the dim spot of headlights from a passing car. Similar concept, dark and quiet, muted external stimuli.
My guess?

Holly shit, scarves are worse feeling than wearing fiberglass.
I hate most scarves. Mass produced ones are terrible.
Someone knit me a scarf out of merino wool, and it was super duper soft, didn’t fuzz up, and was one big möbius strip.
Eh, I thrifted a silk/cashmere scarf for I forget nothing and it is a true comfort, but lucky…
I love infinity scarves like that!
