When you do FILD....

When you fail FILD, is it normal to find it immensely hard to get back to sleep?

Last night, I tried to do a 5 hour, and a 3 hour FILD tech. and when I tried the 5 hour (woke up pretty awake) I could NOT get back to sleep until 5:30 (I woke up at 3:45, spent most of the time trying WILD, or trying to enter SP, until finally falling asleep) I set my alarm for 7:00 when I woke up (to try the 3 hour) but had to push it back and back and back, until it wouldn’t have been practical, and I just turned off the alarm.

Is this normal, or was it just a weird coincidence?

that’s strange it could be that you are having a hard time getting back to sleep because your sleep had already been interrupted before. But it hasn’t happened to me before.

Thanks for the response… Maybe I’m just a mild insomniac? I think it runs in the family :tongue:

I love FILD, but I agree, I too have a hard time falling asleep sometimes. But it rarely ever happens…
Sometimes I have to lay there for I minute or two until I’m nearly asleep to start. But that takes serious will power sometimes…
