They help with sensory/stress/emotional overload by purposefully being understimulating. Think of them as a nice quiet and secluded place to collect your thoughts and help your mind calm down/relax.
Edit: (stupid autocorrect)
Does that actually work for anyone? Under stimulation is an okay goal I guess, but to me this just looks like a claustrophobic and painfully lit anxiety echo chamber. If this was a room where one could turn out the lights and take an actual nap, I might feel different.
