Preventing falling asleep during sessions

I usually don't sleep wearing an Aneros, but if I did I would make sure I used the HIH 950 which doesn't have any protruding tabs and can easily be slept on without worry. I coordinate my sessions with my arousal state, usually at night or early morning. IMHO it makes for a much better session!

I very often fall asleep with my Aneros inserted. I have the best intentions when I go to bed but fall asleep. After 3-4 hours I wake up not taking any advantage of the session. Anyway, I have benefit of some lovely Aless the following day after the unsuccessful session

I fall asleep so often that I'm beginning to think that my rewiring process is really about my sleep patterns. I suspect that, at some point in the future, rather than fixing a cup of warm milk to help me fall asleep, I'll simply insert an aneros!

But seriously, I've found it easier to stay awake if I can find time for a session in the morning when I'm more rested.

I too fall asleep during sessions. It has happened about 4 times now. The first time it happened I thought I was just in such a deep state of meditation, then it happened again. For me if my session is laying on my side, I fall asleep faster, but I am a side sleeper. So I had to change my sessions. I can start on my side but after 10 minutes or so I have to change positions.

I have fallen asleep a few times. Sometimes when things weren’t happening I just fell into a sleep, my sessions are always late night so I am usually tired to start with. Other times I have just been in that blissful state after a nice session and fall asleep in the after glow.

Thanks everyone for the input, it seems it's not only me I suppose it's only natural when such a state of relaxation is required. I guess as @Harper mentioned many of my sessions are later at night.

@Moth , your comment also reflects my experiences. It seems I can fall asleep much easier with my Helix inserted, it's almost like for better or worse it can also be used for that purpose.

Yes i have too.

I've definitely fallen asleep w/ an aneros inserted...Woke up a couple hours later with some very minor buzzing. I tend to have my sessions in the evening but on weekends I'll sometimes have sessions early-ish in the morning...like 9-10am.

I do sometimes fall asleep, but not very often. I did have issues with becoming tired an hour or 2 into a session, which pretty much ends my session. I started having sessions an hour or so earlier and it helped, along with getting a better nights sleep because I went to sleep earlier.

Very early journey, I tried to fall asleep with aneros and made it a couple of hours. Then it woke me up crazy.

Now fully rewired, there isn't a chance I can fall asleep - it goes wild and sleep isn't possible. Even aless, getting to sleep is sometimes a bit of a challenge, with spasms in my lips, jaw and neck. But it is a lovely challenge in the end. And I love waking realizing I've had an aless spasm in my dreams..

I have the same problem. Nearly everytime, when I use any of my devices in the evening, I tend to fall asleep. I think my problem is, that I never really reach a state where I could say, that I am fully awake and won't fall asleep. On one hand I nearly never have problems to fall asleep. As a kid I slept anywhere: in front of the stairs, on the carpet, under the bed, on the toilet... 😀
And it still is really seldom, that I lie awake and can't find any sleep. Usually it takes maximum 10 minutes to fall asleep.

But on the other hand, despite falling asleep easily, I never really feel completely rested. My alarm clock rings at 7:32 AM and I press the snooze button (every 5 Minutes) up to 8:00 AM. After the morning routine I leave the house at about 9:00 AM. Sometimes later, sometimes sooner - my work time is pretty flexible. At about 7 PM I am back home and at about 9:15 PM my girlfriend goes to bed, while I go to bed at about 12 PM.

9:15 PM is the earliest time in the week I can think about using my devices, because my girlfriend won't disturb me then. If I would do it earlier, I couldn't do it in the living room, because that's, where my girlfriend usually is. If I would go to the bedroom then she would disturb me later, when she goes to bed. And doing it in the comfortable bed, when she already sleeps is also not the best idea, because she's very restless in her sleep, so that there's always this feeling, that she disturbs me, when she's moving.

Most of the time I tried using a device in the evening I could only stay awake for about an hour and it is hard to build up arousal, when you don't lie very comfy and can't concentrate, because you tend to fall asleep. It's a very unsatisfying situation. I still could try it on weekends, but most of the time that's the only time where I can have sex with my girlfriend and additionally she is pretty stressed (and sometimes pissed), when we leave the bed late, because she hates shopping groceries in the afternoon, because the feeling of not getting anything done overwhelms her then. So: Aneros in the morning? Also not possible.

I dunno what to do 🙁

@ruffriff; It seems that you have to tell your girlfriend about your use of Aneros. Thus you get some peace in your mind and can enjoy your sessions

@amaz She does already know and I am relaxed in view of that. Its just the coming into the room / the restless part, which distracts me.
