@Shannon

Congrats on the two new subs.

In the near future, are you going to release a sleep aid sub that can be used in conjunction with whatever other sub you are using.
i am considering the anxiety sub because my mind won't shut off at night when i try to sleep.
I want to keep running UMS as I feel like I am battling through some resistance on it.

The sleep aid that corresponds to the 5.75G Awakener is being developed, but it is a much more challenging job than the Awakener was.  It is much safer to wake up than fall asleep.  So I am not only having to find a way to get as many people as possible to actually fall asleep in response to the sleep aid, I have to find ways to make sure it only works while sleeping is a safe activity, and at the same time, overriding that when "safe" is defined incorrectly by PTSD and fear.

In other words, it's almost impossible.

As a result, I am having to be very creative.  I am now working specifically on making the program just work well enough to make its users happy.  Once I have that accomplished, I'll be working on making the program work at the same time it only works when it is safe for it to work.  IF I can accomplish that, then I will release a version of it for public consumption and start working on a different version for PTSD/phobia sufferers.

The key is, this MUST be safe.  If it cannot be made safe, it may never be released.  That is very important, and VERY challenging.

You could try the ARA 1 loop for sleep, but I can't guarantee that ARA will solve your problem.  If it's caused by anxiety, probably will.  If not, may not.
