What I want from an EILD device is a toolkit that allows me to tailor a particular approach on a particular night using highly flexible combinations of timers, REM detection, current time, signaling, and success/fail feedback (feedback is critical!). With this basis, you can create notifications that focus on DEILD or DILD, as many times a night as you'd like. Aurora seems flexible from what you say.

Are there any ways in the tools to indicate either in the moment (ideally) or afterwards in a post-mortem analysis of the night that a particular signaling was wrong? I.e., that you were awake? I would think that feedback like that would be critical to the success of the evolving REM detection and signaling. In particular, I would hope that what would come out of "training" the device on your own sleep patterns would be a personal REM detection and notification regime that is effective for the particular user.

Ideally there could be "phase of night" differences: in the early (mostly deep sleep) night, it could use more aggressive signaling, while later in the night (lighter sleep) the notifications would be adjusted so as not to prevent falling back asleep again.
