Thread: RC + alarm DEILD experiment: would you join me ?

Hi, i would like to make a simple research about the effectiveness of using a continuous alarm during the night to be able to DEILD/WILD, coupled with daytime RCing triggered by alarms, phone rings, doorbells, and the like

I would like to do it for a minimum of 90 effective nights ( that is, attempts that meet the inclusion criteria*) , but if it proves effective early in the experiment, we might want it to last a little bit longer...

I was thinking to make a presentation, paper, or scientific poster with this research. I would be glad to put your name on the list of co-authors/collaborators, and i would do it for the first 3 persons to finish the study.

So, anyone would like to join me ?

Spoiler for study criteria:

Inclusion criteria: 18 or more years of age, alarm app ( customizable to 15 min interval autosnooze**), a minimum of 4 effective atttempts ( that is, 7 hours of sleep minimum) per week and no more than 2 nights in a row without attempts or ineffective attempts ( less than 7 hours of sleep)

Exclusion criteria: less than 18 years old; sleep disorder, other than mild insomnia, nights with less than 7 or more than 9 hours ( if more than 9 hours is still considered an effective attempt but doesn´t count for the study); aplication of other techinques like WBTB longer than 5 minutes total per night, SSILD or MILD ( dream journalling is fine ), etc.

** i can suggest an android app
