FAQ
Q: Will chatting wake me further?
Short, structured guidance is shown to lower arousal faster than lying awake ruminating. You can end the chat or call the moment you feel sleepier.
Q: Is my 2 a.m. rant private?
Yes — Noah encrypts every word; nothing leaves your device unless you export a summary for a clinician.
Q: Can I schedule a reminder?
Reply “Check-in at 10 pm” and Noah sets it — easy.
