For almost 50 years I have worked with high power RF. I have felt the hair
on my neck move from a multi-megawatt HRI Radar antennas. For over a year I
played cards every day next to a 10 KW tropo klystron. I have slept next to
a 50 KW broadcast transmitter more nights than I can count. I have seen
people climb broadcast towers hot to change the lights. But, I have never
seen or heard of anyone having health issues from these RF exposures.
If you are losing sleep over a 1 kw RF exposure from amateur transmitters, I
fear you need go QRP and get some sleep.
