My personal tip is related to one in the article: Instead of a full spectrum LED, use a near-infrared (Eg 850nm) light and shine it on your forehead for 5-10 minutes. The concentration gains I get from this are substantial, and they last up to 2 days. Security camera IR lights with 850nm can be had for $30 or so at Amazon. The name of the mechanism by which this works is called photobiomodulation, and there’s thousands of papers on how it improves body function.

- DelTaco 9y agoI am going to look very silly doing this, but by golly I'm going to give it a shot.
- opdahl 9y agoVery interesting! What do you do while performing this? Do you just put it on while working, or do you just stop and «meditate» for the 5-10minutes?
- manmal 9y agoI either kinda meditate, or read HN on my phone :)
