Fear of night flying, also known as nyctophobia or achluophobia, is a common phobia that affects millions of people. This condition is characterized by an intense fear or anxiety associated with flying at night. Other synonyms for this fear include noctiphobia, scotophobia, and lygophobia. Nyctophobia can be triggered by a range of factors, such as a fear of heights, fear of darkness, or previous negative experiences with night flying. If left untreated, nyctophobia can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life by limiting their travel choices. However, with the help of a mental health professional, it is possible to overcome this fear and start enjoying the benefits of safe air travel.
