Try picking an anchor to help keep that delicate balance of awareness. An anchor is anything that helps you stay aware enough so that you don't just fall asleep, but not wake you up too much to the point where you can't fall asleep at all. These include counting (from 1-10 and then back to 1, or something similarly easy), focusing on breathing (not everyone feels comfortable with this since it then become voluntary instead of the normal involuntary), focusing on heartbeat (can scare some people since SP makes your heartbeat speed up/slow down), and any other low focus things.
It just sounds like you're staying too aware and not letting yourself fall asleep which is not uncommon since SP can be a bit tricky/freaky to some people, but you can overcome this with either and anchor, practice, or both. Just hang in there and remember you could always try DILD/MILD/DEILD if you feel WILD is not the technique for you, but at least give the anchor thing a try instead of just giving up. Perseverance is key.
You could also try FILD (finger induced lucid dream) which is a variation of WILD in which you use your fingers as an anchor. http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/finger...am-fild-36683/. Note: You don't have to use an alarm if you don't want to and can just pair it with a WBTB/however you normally preform your WILDs. Hope this helps
