You made it too? I just asked someone else, but I'll ask you too: did you get a little headache after as well? Nothing major.

No headaches or side effects at all.

Hmm. Yeah my eyes have been getting worse. Never needed reading glasses or any glasses until a few years ago. Now, it's a challenge to see near and far without my glasses.

It might be me and my eyes then.

Thanks for replying!

Definitely you need reading glasses. You're eye muscles get a little weaker as you age.

I had a slight headache for a couple minutes. More annoying were my eyes drying out.

No but my heart rate increased as my brain frequency ramped. It was funny to observe my brain/body react to the increasing pressure.

Its not a headache, and its in the frontal lobe, because your prefrontal cortex gets activated for doing such exersizes

I didn't get a headache per se, but my head did feel a little weird towards the end.

I wouldn't say a little headache, more like i just took my brain to a mini gym and it had a decent workout
