"why does it shock me without warning"
"zaps for no reason"
"vibration when lifting up hand"

"randomly zaps me"
"Also, I notice the Pavlok shocks me randomly at times. Is it somehow reading my pulse or something when I get angry or have some negative emotion?"

​Hi, Have you checked if the hand detect feature is on?

The hand detect feature is the reason why it zaps randomly.

Hand detect allows you to set Pavlok to vibrate whenever you bring your hand to your face.
This helps you stay aware -- for nail biters, hair pickers, and compulsive eaters.

Once I turn off hand detection, will it still shock me to Wake me up?

Yes, it should be turned off if you are not using it, as it activates a vibe whenever your hand is near your face. It's useful for correcting habits like Smoking or Picking on your skin/Touching your face. It's totally separate from your Alarms.
