Can the awakener be used while you're on ums or is it a stand alone?

It can be used with UMS, but it will disrupt UMS' state shifting while it is in use.

I guess that answer is the same with DMSI.

How bad is it to disrupt the main program state shifting if the awakener is used for 5-10 minutes in the morning?

How about using the awakener with a 5G program such as SM3?

thx,

Typically, using Awakener to stay awake or wake up will not disrupt anything because you'd have been asleep otherwise.  If you use it while you're being influenced to achieve the goals of another program, it will have the effect of forcing you into a state of high awakeness and alertness, which may disrupt the state shifting of the other program in undesirable ways.

I tried to design it so that it can be used with anything else that does not directly contradict, such as another pure state shifter.  Unless you are trying to disrupt the other program, for example countering the effects of the Sleep Induction Aid, etc.
