Many people have said they do HS as well as other things like Sedona Method so how do you know which ones are responsible for any effects you may feel?
Well, when I do them together, there is no way to decide which method is responsible of any single change. Sedona and HS are different creatures. HS stirs up the mind content so that memories and repressed feelings surface. Sedona is for releasing, so if something happens to come out with HS, you can use Sedona to release it. They work in combination, so I guess any result would be due to both of them. I know what effects HS had before using Sedona, and I know what effects Sedona has while using it all of the time I'm not meditating; so I know that both of them work. But about knowing which one is responsible of what, it's impossible for me to guess when I combine both of them and for me it's irrelevant to know.
As for moving for the next level, I have been doing it by marking my calendar and ordering the next higher level about the end of that period. If the new level is too strong, then I go back to the previous one until it is completely absorbed. But I always had been feeling it much weaker by that period ending, so my plan of going back to the previous level never has been done.
Could you do it at a different time? I do it before going to bed. I once tried to do it right after getting up, but I had that same problem of falling asleep, so I abandoned the idea. I don't remember feeling any effect while doing it early in the morning, maybe because I was too sleepy while doing it. Did you do it while not sleepy? If you didn't then I'd recommend to try it out and see what happens. But it could be that you already absorbed it without acknowledging it's effects, maybe it's effects were little ones and you overlooked them because you were expecting upheaval, revelations and reduction in stress levels. To be frank, I didn't have noticeable upheavals while doing it early in the morning because I was too sleepy, I have not gotten any revelation (I don't remember reading anywhere that revelations were among the things that happen while doing HS) and I don't have noticed any reduction in stress levels. I did notice a bigger resistance to overwhelm to stress pressure and I have had upheavals while doing it before going to bed. Also, I noticed that when I went up of bed without meditating, that "brain fog" was well bearable; but it was unbearable while meditating, so I was always forced to go back to sleep; so I know that much of it came as resistance to HS. This could be your case, it is yours to decide.
