So I've been using a self hypnosis recording for a while that takes me really deep then installs a trigger word that I can use any time to return to that deep Theta state. It works! When I'm in that state, I can make my hands cold and numb by thinking about them being in Ice water. I can make them float by thinking about balloons tied to them. It's really deep and peaceful. I'm thinking that being in this state will help me get into at WILD. Have been practicing at night before bed planning to try again after WBTB.
I spent an hour there last night then came out and tried to go to sleep. The problem is that after time in that state I often have a hard time going to sleep. It feels like I'm in some kind of twilight land where I'm neither asleep or nor awake. Not awake enough to get up and clear my head, but not asleep either. It's not pleasant. I wasted half a nights sleep last night, and afterwords didn't even bother trying to LD.

I'm wondering if anybody else has had a problem falling asleep after deep meditation or self hypnosis? Any suggestion?

Thanks
