i just stay awake … feel vibrations, buzzing and all this…but still awake

maybe i need to try DEILD and fall asleep more easy…
but how i put alarm clock that automically stop after 4 seconds or something…

thanks for help

man, that happens to me all the time. It’s because you’re concentrating too much on keeping your mind concious that your whole body stays awake. Just try to let your thoughts pass you by. Or count from one to twenty, as you start to fall asleep, you will lose track of what number you’re on. So it helps keep your mind focused without thinking too much about it.

Let me give you a hint I heard from someone else. When trying to WILD, don’t think of it as trying to keep part of you awake. The goal of a WILD is the same as that at the beginning of the night, going to sleep. That is all you are doing, falling asleep. The only difference is that you are keeping a singular thought in your consciousness during the process to keep your mind grounded in reality. (For example, counting) So instead of keeping your brain active during a WILD, let it relax and try to fall asleep. Just make sure to have a thought that is grounding you to reality. It could be counting, or perhaps even a daydream (I got into my only WILD with a daydream-like thought, actually) or maybe even focusing on the blackness of your eyelids.

Anyway, good luck.
