work on softly waking up. if u wake up by alarm an hour(maybe 2) early than usual, then tell urself u need to wake up in 15 minutes. u will eventually go in and our of dreams 15 minutes at a time which can make for great practice. the hard part of this is finding the motivation to try and keep ur conscious self awake without getting too excited. dont worry about keeping still because ur not going for SP u just want to stay comfortable and as close to asleep as possible(keep ur eyes closed while trying to fall back asleep). relax ur thoughts and softly tell urself a mantra of ur liking. hopefully u will keep ur consciousness as u begin to dream.

the best advise u can get is from urself. only u know the best way for falling asleep and how u react to techniques.
