So recently, I was introduced to the idea of conserving or reusing your body's own Infrared as a form of Red Light Therapy. I'm not sure if this idea has been discussed on the forum before, but this was coming from a source that was talking exclusively reusing or reabsorbing your own IR. I could see that there was potential in this approach, and it could be used as a standalone therapy, or in combination with other forms of Red Light. After all, Peat recommends re-breathing in a bag to increase CO2. Basically, this is the same concept.
I had a few mylar blankets, the paper thin kinds, so I put one under my fitted sheet last night before going to bed, to test it out. I ended up sleeping pretty well, and woke up more refreshed and energetic this morning than I have in months. My backside, which was closer to the mylar, was noticeably warmer to the touch in the morning that my front. Only downside that I noticed was that it crinkled like wrapping paper when I laid down, or moved. That didn't bother me too much, but I'm sure could annoy others. But there seem to be other options for IR reflective blankets that are pretty cheap out there.
Also note, I have been using an IR illuminator pointed at me at night for the past few weeks, to avoid sleeping in total darkness. This could have added to the effect.
Any thought or other concerns with this idea?
