Sometimes I’ll be lying down to relax and just listen, but I feel like I end up falling asleep halfway thru and wait up with like a minute left in the sub
Any idea on the impact of this on results? @AnswerGroup

Ironically, if you “wake up” near the end, you probably weren’t fully asleep
Hypnotists run into that with clients who swear they fell asleep, but they “just happened” to wake up when the hypnotist gives the instruction to come out of the hypnotic state. Seems like the same thing to me.
But even if you do fall asleep to it, the SubC hears it. The original listening patterns used to work during sleep too. So I think it’ll be OK overall.

for me, I could also just “tell” when the sub was almost done. this happened consistently. back in the 45 minute listening days.

It’s likely quite good (or facilitative) for the results (or, for your processing of the subliminal).
Like so many others of our daily concepts and language (for example, ‘sunrise’, ‘sunset’, ‘mixed-blood’, ‘the five senses’, and so on), the words ‘sleeping’ and ‘waking’ are imprecise, inaccurate labels that we simply inherited from the stories and theories of our ancestors. Nothing wrong with that. We just need to be humble and recognize that half (or really most) of the categories and language we use are not particularly accurate or well-grounded. It’s really not a problem, much of the time.
In contrast to conventional imagining, Sleeping and Waking are not two discrete and distinct states of consciousness that are utterly separate from one another. They merge, overlap, and intermingle. And they exist on a continuum, or more like an ocean, of many possible shifting orientations and textures of consciousness and awareness.
So when the above happens, you’re just being a little more flexible and fluid than usual with regard to your state of consciousness. Not a problem as long as you’re not operating heavy machinery.
