Easy WBTB method for lazy guys!

**yaya** · 01-20-2015 04:32 PM

Well, if you are a heavy sleeper and you hate to even open your eyes for doing WBTB and getting out of your bed, then this might help you:

you just need to have an alarm to wake you up or just simply do an autosuggestion before sleep that you will wake up spontaneously after some hours of sleep and you WILL...

you don't need to get out of your bed or read something or using bathroom to increase your awareness and to decrease your drowsiness.

JUST, stick your tongue out of your mouth. that's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to fall sleep in that situation.

even you may feel hyper-awake by doing this simple work.

you can stay awake as you as want by sticking your tongue out of your mouth....even after backing to your normal situation, you will be awake for extra minutes while you will feel fresh and awake. falling back to sleep is not hard too because your muscles are already relax as you have not moved them a lot.

I hope this help!

Yaya, I will try this tongue-sticking method tonight! I'm not feeling so well, so a proper WBTB does not sound appealing. Thanks for the idea

I think that might be a good WILD anchor too. What do you think?

WILD requires you to be able to fall asleep

Love this idea though, quirky and effective. I'm always running the risk of falling back asleep when I'm doing the whole "lie-still-and-recall-your-dream" routine, so I'm looking forward to trying this out.

Good call, Yaya!

Oh whoops, I read the thread wrong. Shouldn't be doing that in the early morning.

What induction methods do you guys use after WBTB? Mainly WILD?

I never really use a method, just DILD.
Maybe I should look into some methods to get more lucid dreams.

I need the opposite. Guaranteed way to fall asleep, fast, during visualization/mantra. I have the will to get up for WBTB, I've shown that this month. I just don't want to do it because 50% of the time that's it, no more sleep for the night which is a disaster.

now as i practice WILD, i need this type of WBTB to keep me enough aware and awake to be able to not fall sleep during WILD attempt. WBTB is great for every technique as it increase the awareness during next sleep and help us to remember more dreams too.

yes bro! this WBTB is for those who are deep sleepers! so light sleepers should not do that.

I remember one time (post-wbtb?) where I must have done a relaxation exercise whilst on my back. I must have started to drift off into a hypanagogic-type state near to sleep. Thing is I must have had my mouth open a touch because the next thing I noticed my jaw must have (involuntarily) tightened as I suddenly felt and heard my teeth slam shut! (I don't think it was a hallucination either.)
It startled and worried me quite a bit at the time. I found it very disconcerting to say the least.

If you don't mind I think I will sit this one out.

I'm in the same boat! If I do more than go to the bathroom I risk being awake for hours. This morning's WBTB took me ages to fall asleep since I knew the sun was rising, but luckily I stuck to it and fell asleep probably around an hour later. Only non lucid dreams ensued but that is ok.

if you want to fall sleep very soon, maybe doing SSILD in a very lazy and careless manner would help. but be careful, if you do it with high focus, it will give you insomnia too. so the key is to do it in a way you really don't care it. then you will fall sleep in less than some minutes. i have tried this way of falling sleep so fast, and every time it works.

When I need to combat sleeplessness I perform a type of meditation I guess you could call it. I release all muscle tension and try to picture blackness to lessen my racing thoughts. It sometimes helps.

The tongue technique is definitely worth noting though in the infinite knowledge of lucid dreams one can absorb.
