I started using incandescent light (2 250W, 130V bulbs running on standard 120V to increase redder frequencies relative to bluer frequencies) a few days ago, and it has been very relaxing and has improved the quality of my sleep quite a bit. It has also made me calmer and has interestingly improved my writing ability while I'm sitting under it. That's why I don't think it's harming me in any way.
However, my temps have dropped from being usually in the mid 99s to the low 97s (drastic drop) and my pulse has dropped from being in the low 80s to being in the high 60s/low 70s. I'm also getting nosebleeds. It has also not been helping my ADHD/concentration issues, which was the reason I got the bulbs in the first place.
I'm not super, super strict about my diet, but I'm relatively strict in that most of my calories in a day are from low-fat milk/OJ/cheese with usually one non "peat-approved" meal like meat and starch, store-bought mashed potatoes with possibly some gums, cheeseburger + coke (but no fries). I get close to 100g of protein usually, but my appetite is pretty variable, so if I'm genuinely not hungry, I don't force myself to eat.
Has anyone experienced pulse/temp decrease and/or nosebleeds from red light or know any plausible reason for it? My first guess is that my thyroid function is actually a lot more pathetic than I thought it was and the red light is suppressing my stress hormones, revealing my actual horrible metabolism... I have no explanation for the nosebleeds though. My supplements are 4-5 cups of coffee, 1-2 standard aspirin tablets, vit E occasionally, 10 mg Vit K usually (for the aspirin) and 6000 IU of vitamin D.
