The vibrating bracelets arrived today, they were quite tricky to pair with the phone. As expected, the quality is rather low, manuals are wrong(2 different kinds) and even the strap sizes are different! But what would you want for 20$ bracelet shipped from overseas?

The good: the bracelets vibrate twice for about a second with a second in between, followed by like 4-5 seconds of silence. This is not quite as customizeable as the cell phone's vibrate function (that one can do morse code). The vibration is still audibly heard due to plastic housing and loose fit. It will probably be a lot less audible when worn at an ankle under sheets.

I'm trying different locations, like my arm or leg to figure out where to put it. I'll probably end up with the bracelet on my ankle.

These vibrate when a phone call comes in (supposedly) and vibrate when the bluetooth connection is broken. So I'm programmatically turning off bluetooth for 15 seconds, then turning it back on (an ugly solution, but it works). This produces 6-8 vibrate sequences while Bluetooth is off. I dont know the long term consequences of turning hardware on and off like that.

I'll try this later tonight as an alternative to regular lucid dreaming reminders and also try it for WILD induction - set the vibration to go off at 8,12,16,20,22,24 minutes, because I fall asleep at around 20 minutes
