Sleepiness, Boredom, and Arousal

Hello everyone,

I’ve been using my Helix Syn for the past 5 months with some decent results.

Relaxation and arousal are often cited as key elements to success. However, I have been having two issues with this. First, I can easily relax, but this causes me to quickly fall asleep in the middle of my sessions, which is not exactly conducive to making progress.

Second, if I instead concentrate heavily on maintaining arousal and focusing on sensations, I become mentally exhausted rather quickly.

Many users report that they require 2-3 hour sessions to make progress, especially at the beginning of the journey. I can barely last an hour without either falling asleep, becoming bored, or becoming mentally exhausted and distracted.

Any tips on how to overcome this challenge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
