Could you give more info about how and when you use this? Do you just use the sleep setting and the wakeup settings, or do you also use it during the day?
What intensity did you find worked well for you starting and what did that go down to now?
I want to try this out but I’m not sure how to replicate what you’re doing
A possibly more useful answer: I started out at maybe 70% of fitbit notification strength, but lowered it over time, and now often need to touch with a finger to check if it’s running.
I use the Relax setting when I’m going to bed, and restart it if I wake up before I want to. There is a Sleep setting that theoretically lasts longer but weakens over time, and I find if I start at a reasonable intensity it gets too low too fast.
In the morning I’ll usually start Rebuild, which is similar to Wake Up but last much longer.
During the day I’ll use a few different settings. The names of the settings are guidelines but not 100% accurate. If I’m doing something stressful I’ll often use Clear and Focused, because it makes me feel better able to handle potential threats. I use Social and Open at parties and it seems vaguely good. I also use Relax sometimes.
I used to use it for 12+ hours a day, now it’s more like 5-7. That’s partially from waking up less at night (I used to wake up with the Apollo battery drained, and now it’s typically at 90%), and partially craving it less during the day.
If you’re asking about intensity to know where to start, I think that’s the wrong question, you have to figure out what’s right for you and it will vary a lot. If you’re asking about effect size, I didn’t keep close track but I’d estimate I’m at less than half the intensity I was before. That’s not all sensitization though, I also learned how to wear it to most feel the signal.
