PROTOCOL SPECIFICATIONS
1. Does this replace sleep?
Negative. Sleep is a complex biological maintenance cycle (glymphatic clearance) that requires hours. The Neural Reset Protocol is designed for NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest). Think of it as clearing your browser's cache versus rebooting the entire server. It flushes acute decision fatigue and cortisol buildup to restore "execution liquidity" immediately, but it does not replace the need for 7+ hours of nightly sleep.
2. The "Sleep Inertia" Risk: Will I feel groggy for my next meeting?
This is a common failure point in standard naps, but not here. The protocol is engineered with a specific exit-ramp frequency. The final 60 seconds shift from Theta (Relaxation) back to Low-Beta (Focus). You are designed to emerge with higher alertness than when you started. No grogginess. No lag.
3. Environmental Constraints: I work on a trading floor / open plan.
Total silence is ideal but rarely operational. The audio engineering uses specific frequencies that cut through ambient noise. Requirement: Use high-quality Noise Canceling Headphones (ANC). If you can isolate your auditory input, the protocol will trigger the vagal response regardless of your physical location.
4. Why not just caffeine?
Caffeine is leverage. It borrows energy from tomorrow by blocking adenosine receptors, but the debt (fatigue) remains. Eventually, you get a margin call (the crash). The Neural Reset Protocol is a settlement mechanism. It actually reduces the sympathetic nervous system load (stress) rather than masking it. Use caffeine for the kick; use this for the sustainability.
5. What is the file format?
You receive a universal, high-bitrate MP3 (320kbps) devoid of DRM. It is an asset you own. Store it locally on your phone, laptop, or cold storage. It does not require an app, a subscription, or an internet connection to run once downloaded.
6. Medical Disclaimer
This protocol is a performance optimization tool, not a medical treatment. It utilizes audio entrainment and breathwork techniques. If you have a history of seizures, severe psychiatric conditions, or auditory sensitivity, consult your medical board before deployment.
