Sometimes the transition is immediate so you have to be sure to do RC's. But don't do RC's immediately since that might mess up your SP.

Tinnitus?

I guess I'll offer my input too.

To wild you need to balance calmness and focus. In meditation this would be calm-abiding and single pointed focus. If you're too calm and relaxed, you become lax and drift into sleep. If you're too focused on wilding, then you won't sleep. They have to be balanced and the only way to balance them is through practice, as mentioned. Also, the focus is on sleep. There is no point in lying there for hours stressing yourself out and ending your practice the next morning in disappointment. If I were you I'd take a break from trying to wild directly and attempt to go to sleep while observing your shifts in consciousness. Try to be inquisitive about how you're falling asleep without keeping yourself awake. I think that by experiencing these shifts in increments over the course of several night's sleep you'll benefit more than lying there wondering what will happen until you finally quit and roll over in frustration.

I hope not. That would be bad (runs to doctor).
