Thanks Gab and ThAtaInTme! The water trick sounds quite clever. I might try a combination, drink water, wake up, DEILD. I unsuccessfully attempted a WILD last night. I managed to get wake up in time, before my alarm even went off. I did the relaxing technique where you build up tension and then relax several times, but then when I tried to lie still, I couldn't stay still enough for SP so I just gave up and went to sleep . I've been having a bit of an issue lately, in that for the past few nights I can not remember a second of my dreams. Should I try going to sleep blindfolded so I don't get distracted when I wake up?
