After a subthread blew up about a month ago my brother and I have been going back and forth on whether or not to pick up a NIR light and give it a shot.
I'm curious specifically about concentration times (I go for maybe a minute before my concentration breaks) and perceived efficacy.
Has anyone tried using NIR for performance hacking? What was your experience?
- quickpost 7y agoI haven't tried it but I too was intrigued by that thread and added it to my list of things to try. It seems like the risks are relatively minimal. What NIR light are you considering purchasing?
- all2 7y agoI've purchased this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075F7NV56 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075F7NV56 I'm awaiting receipt. I've been putting some thought into how I want to quantify outcomes; sleep, perceived energy levels / fatigue, ability to focus (not sure how to measure this). Nothing else has occurred to me yet. If you had to measure, what would you choose to keep track of?
