For at least 15-30 minutes, maybe more, my body was just in SP and nothing was happening. I was just really uncomfortable and after not getting anywhere in sleep, and just staying awake in a sleeping body, I finally forced myself to move and turned over and fell asleep.
I slept really deeply, but I couldn't remember any of my dreams when I woke up...
I have tried doing this many times, simply because I'm either too lazy, or don't have the extra sleep time to do the traditional WILD technique. I've had moderate success only once. I saw HI and I believe I felt sleep paralysis beginning, but that's about as far as I got. For me the biggest thing is the suffocating/breathing hard feeling, aside from actually staying concentrated on counting.
Anyway, the night that I did have that somewhat successful attempt, I had a strange confident feeling wash over me as I was counting. I suddenly felt like "okay, I've been counting a while, I've been trying too hard, I'm just gonna relax and go for it." And I really felt confident about it.
It's difficult for me to say if it was the confidence that helped me, or if I subconsciously knew that the conditions were right and thus was infused with said confidence. Either way, it seems as if that was a sort of "lucky break," so all I can really say is good luck. Maybe try experimenting with Melatonin and/or caffeine?
