Did 2 Ultrasonic runs while sleeping and then another masked when i woke up.
Now i feel very exhausted, like i can barely think or process anything even when i'm not listening to the sub.
i guess it should take time for my brain to adapt to this kind of input.
i think i'll drop down to 3 instead of 5 loops a day untill i feel that i can actually do the rest and still have enough energy to think/do everyday activities.

Looks like E4 is heavy hitting. 
In my case I have had emotional traumas as well but most have been incurred during my late teens to 20s. We're in this together my friend. Good luck!

I have bad news and good news for you   

It’s not one hour and a half, the whole run should be uninterrupted. 

However, it doesn’t have to be hard - most of us have an old phone, a portable player or anything that can play music. As long as you do not use your current phone, you will never be interrupted (you would be listening even when you talk on the phone.)

Or play it a night, ez, unless it bothers your sleep.

Try and follow the instructions even if you are tired, you will the ASRB2 days to rest. Sometimes the “side effects” are a bit unpleasant but I think you would be better off just doing what needs to be done, unless it’s absolutely unbearable. Pulling off a band aid too slowly only wastes time and it ends up hurting more  

Also, Shannon does not recommended mixing formats, pick only one format and stick to it for a while, until you know how it works for you (unless it’s bothering you too much of course.)

shannon said its actually fine to mix two formats during the day. like i can do 2 run masked and 3 US during the night.. if you think about its the most effective way since it hits different part of the subconcious

You can mix formats, but it is best not to.  Mixing formats is unnecessary once you know which one works best for you, and mixing formats is generally only useful if you cannot play Masked or Hybrid at the location you happen to be; for example, if you're running MIR and  you happen to be using Hybrid Format and you go out in public, nobody wants to hear your trickling stream track, so you might switch to ultrasonic until you're not in public.  

The most effective way is the one that gets the most and best results.  Hitting different parts of the subconscious only works well if the net result is better, which is not guaranteed.  That is half of why we don't offer only Hybrid format.  And, if you want to hit different parts of the subconscious, just run Hybrid format!  No need to switch formats.

Running loops with a break in between is discouraged because it breaks ASRB and that reduces the effectiveness of the program.

Also, always follow the instructions exactly for AT LEAST the first couple of ASRB2 cycles.  The number of loops is important.  It can actually make you more tired to run less loops if the higher number of loops is required to overcome resistance, which is typically why that number of loops is required.  Follow the instructions.

@Shannon
I see. thanks for the informative response.
Can i run hybrid with earphones/headphones or is it too dangerous due ultrasonic can hurt at this close range?

As for listening, why not listen at night while in bed on speakers? That's what I usually do, at first it can be a little hard to sleep but usually I adjust to it.
