Nah, makes no difference, maybe even the seconds indicator on your alarm clock switches on and off. It is no stroboscope ;-) As long as the pulsing is constant (not modulated) then the brain filters it out in no time. A pulsing light source is easier to tell in the dark from eye noise / imagined objects.
