I’m reposting this because the other one ended up being more about infrared than blue - not at all upset about this, it provided some really valuable perspective and made me feel less vulnerable to hear about other people’s experiences with light and color.
I do want to find out more about something specifically involving blue though. This was the text of the original post:
I’ve found I have an intense psychosomatic reaction to certain bands of deep blue light. It feels like a combination of tingling heat, adrenaline, and gentle compression on either side, as if someone has reached right in and is massaging my adrenal glands. Most search results for ‘blue light’ are negative, but this is pleasant, not like anxiety. I love playing speed chess online with my blue lamp going.
It feels almost like a form of ASMR but with adrenaline instead of sleep. Anyone else experienced sth like this?
It happens with a specific lamp I got from Amazon that I think probably spills UV. A few things such as pre-existing energy levels or eating enough food also influence it. I have some more extensive logs and notes if anyone wants them.
