Thread: Sleep issues

  1. #1

    Default Sleep issues

    I have a condition called idiopathic hypersomnia which basically means I am sleepy all the time, but the doctors gave up trying to figure out why. It used to be classified with narcolepsy but now is a separate condition.

    I have been enjoying my Proteus for just over a week now and have found it helpful. I've started playing with sessions and think I can figure out how to tune the sleep sessions for a better night sleep.

    My biggest issue though is getting sleepy during work. I work in cubicle and find it difficult to be able to do a 15 minute session even at lunch. Ideally I would like to have one or more 5 minute sessions with the focus on being alert and awake. I don't usually have any trouble relaxing and with focus which is what many of the sessions focus on.

    Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

    As you need very short sessions, maybe you could create them yourself in the Proteus editor? It shouldn't be too difficult for so short sessions.
    I have the Procyon, not the Proteus, but I assume the editors are similar. You could also for example run less segments of an existing alertness session and just save it as a new session (changing its name)? I think it should work, but I am a newbie myself!
    At any rate you can certainly create your own sessions.

    Hey thanks. For the most part, that is what I plan to do. Part of what I am not 100% sure about is the color and frequency although I have some reasonable guesses. I'm continuing to learn both about the technology and the unit itself and one tutorial has a suggestion on randomization that may be a reasonable approach

    I think Beta frequencies and in particular red should wake you up.
