The clouded mind could be a result of a lack of deep sleep during the first 90 minute cycle. The conscious mind still being with the Paraliminal because of the headphones. They can be creating a discomfort and breaking sleep often will make you feel more tired or cloudy in the morning. Try listening to the Paraliminal without headphones. It will probably run all night unless you have some sort of timer to turn it of but it will interfere less with the sleep cycles.
Also try not to use asleep learning every night. You will want to have nights where you can just have nights where the mind can look after the usual learning it does during sleep.
Let us know how it goes.
