Help Badly Needed With WBTB :help:

[Canasta]

1. I can’t wake up. I’ve tried several methods to wake myself up in the middle of the night, namely using an alarm, and I normally wake up to my alarm in the mornings, but I can’t seem to wake up to it in the middle of the night! Any tips on how to wake up in the middle of the night for WBTB would be very much appreciated.

You can use more than one alarm clock or make the waking sound louder. Have you tried autosuggestions?

2. I don’t have much time for sleep. On school days, I manage to get about six hours of sleep max. On the weekends, I get about eight (my bloody brother wakes me up by blasting his music really loudly before it’s a decent hour of the day. grumbles) hours. How long should I stay up for WBTB?

It depends on the person how long you can stay up for WBTB. You should have a fresh mind but your body have to be tired enough to go to sleep again. I think six hours of sleep is not enough for WBTB. You have to sleep for 4,5 to 5 hours then stay up for 45 min. to 90 min. ( depends on the person ) and then go back to sleep. So you should get more sleep and a regular sleep cycle and talk to your brother .

3. I take a really long time to get back to sleep. See, I go to sleep really quickly, usually within five minutes, but when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can’t go back to sleep for a long time. Sometimes I spend an hour or more trying to fall back asleep! Would this be a problem with WBTB?

I have the same problem. When I notice that it take a long time for me to fall back asleep I think about the things that I want to do in my LD or how it feels when I get lucid. That focus your mind that you want to become lucid.

Maybe it´s the wrong technique for you…Have you tried out MILD? Or start doing RC´s throughout the day so you can get a DILD.
