If it's any comfort, the exact same thing (right down to the waking up on the countdown) happens to me when I listen to the Prosperity paraliminal. I never thought too much of it, as for one, I know certain levels of brain activity are still in operation even if I am dozing off, trancing out, spacing out, or whatever. Second, I'm noting some subtle (positive) shifts in my thinking and responding to things, so I figure something must be sinking in! MH
