Hi everybody,
I have a problem while trying to do a DEILD: when I wake up with the alarm, even if I'm in the middle of a REM cycle and even if I manage to stay still without moving a muscle nor opening my eyes, I feel always "too waked up" to re-enter the dream in few minutes, and I feel my body too much awaken, so I fail almost always.
Instead, when I wake up without an alarm, but due to noises coming from other rooms, I wake up but not so much like with the alarm, and I am able to start feeling the sleep paralysis and hypnagogics (that happened to me about two or three times).

It's like the DEILD works only if I wake up involuntarily; instead, when I set an alarm I wake up too much and I end up failing.

Do you have any suggestions to avoid this problem and to do a proper DEILD easier and more frequently? (I managed to have one LD per month since october and I've noticed that the DEILD is the most effective for me... so I'd like to improve it in order to have at least one LD per week! )
