Am I too tired to induce a lucid dream?

[Slick]

I'm currently trying to get my DILD/MILD techniques working, but I've had no success. Once in awhile before I fall asleep, I'll try to repeat mantras and use a recall scenery for like a few minutes but then I always let my mind foolishly drift away to some other imagination. Are there some other useful techniques I can use while I drift away to sleep? I just can't start off with any induction techniques that has to do with the process of simply laying still and remaining conscious. I get really nervous about what I'll see and the only way I can easily fall asleep is by watching TV, lol. Also, if you guys have some other suggestions, that'll be great too. I'm trying figure out why my LD is not kicking in. The only time around this year I was able to become lucid was from a short 15-20 second DILD which was like a couple months ago, but I couldn't even remember what proper training routine I was using around that time.
