This is something I'm struggling to really get information for. I've been trying a basic meditation when I go to bed for a couple of days for about 10 minutes so far as I'm still getting used to it, by focusing entirely on breathing (I have no danger whatsoever of falling asleep while lying on my back). If nothing else it helps me sleep afterwards as I don't sleep easy when I first go to bed.

I'm wondering if/how well it combines with WBTB. I have a problem with WBTB in that I go straight from being able to sleep again immediately to not getting back to sleep at all, I have no middle area with that. I've been attempting SSILD and FILD and while these produce lucids I almost always fail at the method itself because I fall asleep or cannot sleep after.

My current plan is to be woken in the night, and go straight to this meditation on my back and hopefully fall asleep while doing it, or at least being able to sleep straight after, perhaps even try and sneak a FILD in at the end. I believe I might be able to sleep on my back in this circumstance, if I'm not that awake I sleep again very easy. I don't really know much about the ideals on all this though. Am I achieving anything by trying this? Does meditation even help during a WBTB? Any input would be appreciated, or even more information on what exactly this meditation is doing and how it helps with lucids. Or tell me off if I'm doing something wrong! There's no point me chasing something that doesn't work.

Thanks for any help.
