How can I improve my chances of passing through the first few stages of sleep consciously and attaining full sleep paralysis. At the beginning - when I started trying - I was able to do it every night, now I can hardly get to sleep paralysis without falling asleep first. What's wrong with me? Do I perhaps need a couple shots of coffee? I go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Once have I succeeded at going in and out of transition whilst doing a WBTB. That was ages ago, nowadays I cannot even wake up early enough to attempt one. I have my alarm set. I've tried speaking to myself telling myself to wake up at 4am but I cant.

Nothing seems to be working. Please, I need help.
