Welcome to DV!
1. If you fall asleep too quick, you probably didn't stay up for long enough. You need to get out of the bed, put the lights on and do something LD related. You need to wake up your mind, but just enough, so you can think straight but still sleepy enough to fall asleep reasonable fast. Experiment with timing 5-60 min. One night you may feel like you awake enough after 5-10 min, another night it may be different. You have to get a feel for it by experimenting.
But even if you dont get a WILD, with WBTB, you have a better chance of getting DILD. So practice some mantras, awareness and RCs as a backup plan. Here is everything you need for DILD/MILD.
2. We sleep in sleep cycles that are about 90 min long. Each one has NREM followed by REM stage. The longer you sleep, shorter the NREM and longer the REM becomes. In the morning, it's almost all just REM {assuming your sleep was long enough). That's why is best to do WBTB after as much sleep as you can afford.
3. MILD/DILD is easier than WILD, but when practicing, you have to not just do it mindlessly, you have to really be mentally present. Check out the tut I linked.
4. As it was suggested here, it's best to write everything in your DJ, not just fragments. It's OK to write keywords when you wake up between dreams at night, but then write it all up in the morning.
Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, just ask. Happy dreams
