Somna User Guide — I’m Aware

I’m Aware is for the quiet edge between waking and sleep — when you are resting, still aware, and not trying to do anything with that awareness.

Choose a preset during the day if you like. Later, just say: Alexa, I’m Aware.

Start here

Choose an awareness preset, or keep the default: Quiet Return.
Use it when you are resting near sleep, awake in the night, or drifting toward sleep.
Let the spaces stay spacious. There is nothing to achieve.

If you are not sure where to start, begin with Quiet Return.

Awareness presets

Presets shape the feel of the experience without making you manage settings in the moment.

Quiet Observer — for simply noticing without changing anything
Sleep Threshold — for the soft edge between waking and sleep
Spacious Awareness — for more room around sounds, sensations, and thoughts
Gentle Drift — for letting awareness soften toward sleep
Quiet Return — the default, for coming back to simple noticing

Alexa, ask I’m Aware to browse presets Alexa, ask I’m Aware for the next preset Alexa, ask I’m Aware for the previous preset Alexa, ask I’m Aware to use this preset Alexa, ask I’m Aware what preset am I using

Use it at night

Use I’m Aware when you are lying quietly and want a few soft cues with long spaces between them.

It is not meant to analyze the mind, produce a special state, or make anything happen. It simply gives awareness somewhere soft to rest.

Alexa, I’m Aware Alexa, open I’m Aware

Default preset

The default preset is Quiet Return.

Quiet Return is the simplest version: a few soft reminders to notice what is already here, then let the moment remain quiet.

Alexa, ask I’m Aware to set preset to Quiet Return

Check your settings

To hear your current preset or setup, say:

Alexa, ask I’m Aware what are my settings Alexa, ask I’m Aware what preset am I using

To hear the last experience again, say:

Alexa, ask I’m Aware to play again

What this skill is for

I’m Aware is for stillness near sleep: sounds in the room, the weight of the body, thoughts passing, and awareness itself.

It is intentionally minimal. No mystical language. No pressure to visualize, interpret, solve, or improve anything.

Nothing to achieve. Simply notice.

I’m Aware remembers your preset. Choose it once, then use the skill when the quiet edge between waking and sleep is already there.
