Question about WILD

ok, so i like to try to attempt wilding before i go to sleep in the beginning of the night. I know people say it’s harder but i like it better. my question is this, from my understanding and from what i read, it takes about an average of 90 minutes to enter your first LD from that point without a wbtb. I’m guessing your body falls asleep before this 90 minutes is over.

seeing you are concious, does this count as sleep for your body?

I’m just afraid I won’t get enough sleep that night for the next day when I go to work.

I think it still counts as sleep.
