Somna I’m Anxious User Guide

Set it once when you are clear-headed. Later, when you feel keyed up or inwardly activated, just say: Alexa, I’m Anxious.
Somna can remember your preset, settings, Partner Mode, and recent playback.

Start here

If you are new, do this in order:

Browse presets, or choose one directly.
Optionally turn on Partner Mode if the room needs shorter, quieter responses.
When you want support, say: Alexa, I’m Anxious.
If you forget your setup, say: Alexa, ask I’m Anxious what are my current settings.

If you are not sure where to start, begin with quiet reset or browse the presets below.

When you use it

When you feel stressed, mentally tangled, physically braced, or inwardly urgent, say:

Alexa, I’m Anxious
(if the response is unexpected, go to All Commands for additional options.)

Somna uses your saved settings automatically.

If you want to hear your current preset, say:

Alexa, ask I’m Anxious what is my preset
