I'm done. Not because the protocol failed — it worked often enough to reorganize my entire relationship to sleep. That's why I'm stopping.
Over ninety nights: 34 confirmed cue integrations (app log), 12 partial lucid entries (my definition: recognition of state, duration >10s), 4 full lucid entries (duration >2 minutes, volitional action taken), 6 arousal events from cues, 3 nights paused for adverse effects.
The honest accounting: it worked. The rate was lower than I expected going in, but the quality of the four full entries was unlike anything I'd achieved without the device over years of trying conventional methods.
Why I'm stopping: by week eight, I noticed that I was organizing my sleep around anticipation. I was timing caffeine, naps, and social commitments around the device's schedule. When I had a bad night, it wasn't just disappointment — it felt like a failed experiment that needed to be corrected the following night. Curiosity had started behaving like compulsion.
I'm uploading the full ninety-night logbook: device settings for every session, sleep timing, nap trials, caffeine intake, cue logs, subjective ratings, and the exact point (night 61) where I first noticed the shift from interested to invested.
