Somna I'm Awake User Guide

When you wake in the night, just say: Alexa, I’m Awake.

I’m Awake is meant to stay simple. Presets are the easiest way to use it, and replay commands are there when you want the same experience again.

Start here

If you are new, keep it simple:

Say: Alexa, ask I’m Awake to browse presets.
Choose one preset, such as sleep again.
If someone is nearby, turn on Partner Mode.
At night, say: Alexa, I’m Awake.

If you are not sure where to start, begin with sleep again.

At night

When you wake up in the middle of the night, say:

Alexa, I’m Awake (if Alexa doesn’t respond, say: ‘Alexa, open I’m Awake.')

Somna uses your saved preset or settings automatically. There is nothing else to choose in the moment.

Presets

Presets are the main way to use I’m Awake. They keep the experience simple while still letting you choose the kind of support that fits the moment.

Quiet Night

A slower, quieter version for a still mind.

Uses: quiet mind · standard · quiet · sleep

Alexa, ask I’m Awake to switch to preset quiet night

Sleep Again

Brief and soft, with as little to take in as possible.

Uses: calm · short · soft · sleep

Alexa, ask I’m Awake to switch to preset sleep again

Easy Morning

Gentle support when waking early has tomorrow in view.

Uses: early wake · standard · grounding · tomorrow

Alexa, ask I’m Awake to switch to preset easy morning

Deep Reset

A slightly fuller version with a steadier tone.

Uses: calm · standard · soft · character

Alexa, ask I’m Awake to switch to preset deep reset

Browse presets

You do not need to remember every preset name. You can browse them.

Alexa, ask I’m Awake to browse presets Alexa, ask I’m Awake for the next preset Alexa, ask I’m Awake for the previous preset

When you know the one you want, say:

Alexa, ask I’m Awake to switch to preset sleep again

Replay

If you want the same experience again, use replay language.

Alexa, ask I’m Awake to play again Alexa, ask I’m Awake to replay last

Play again uses your current saved preset or settings. Replay last repeats the last response when available.

Partner Mode

If someone is nearby, Partner Mode adds a very short opening before the main script so the experience feels gentler in a shared bed.

It does not change the main preset. It only adds a brief preface.

Alexa, ask I’m Awake to turn on Partner Mode Alexa, ask I’m Awake to turn off Partner Mode Alexa, ask I’m Awake is Partner Mode on

Check your settings

If you want to hear what is currently selected, say:

Alexa, ask I’m Awake what are my current settings

If you want to hear your current preset, say:

Alexa, ask I’m Awake what preset am I using

Most people can stay with presets. Settings are there only if you want them.

Length

Length changes how much is said.

short — minimal, quick, simple
standard — longer, more settling

Alexa, ask I’m Awake what is my length Alexa, ask I’m Awake to set length to standard

Style

Style changes how the voice feels.

soft — gentle and slow
grounding — steady and reassuring
quiet — slower and more spacious

Alexa, ask I’m Awake what is my style Alexa, ask I’m Awake to set style to soft

Focus

Focus changes where the deeper message gently leads.

sleep — return to rest
tomorrow — let go of tomorrow’s concerns
character — deeper calm and clarity

Alexa, ask I’m Awake what is my focus Alexa, ask I’m Awake to set focus to sleep

I’m Awake uses the same Somna family command style as the other “I’m ...” skills: browse presets, choose a preset, play again, replay last, turn on Partner Mode, or check settings.

FYI: You can also change Alexa’s voice in your device settings by saying, "Alexa, change your voice."
