Best time for WILD or WBTB?

I'm curious as to how long before bed I should turn off electronics and TV. I heard they affect LD results. When is the best time for attempting a WILD and WBTB?

I had a strange WILD attempt last night. The hallucination was that I felt as though I was sleeping on the other end of the bed than where I was originally and the noise from my fan helped to enhance it to the point where I heard my fan as if it was placed differently in the room.

What can I do to clear my mind to LD? To make things worse, I just got out of rotator cuff and labrum surgery. Is there anything I can do to become comfortable? My shoulder is in a sling until Sunday and it's uncomfortable to try and WILD.

I don't have problems with watching TV late and then going to bed... for the WBTB/WILD I would recommend atleast 6 hours of sleep before you begin.

It depends on you. Most people will say that 6 or more hours are good for WBTB or WILD, but it really depends on how you sleep. This timing works best for most people, but if you find that you aren't getting the results that you want, try scheduling your WILDs and WTBTs earlier in the night, such as 2 or 3 hours after you sleep. This actually works best for me (but also, I sleep biphasically so it just depends).
