Once you get to the point where you get 'lost' in a cycle then you know thats the right track. I hope this helps
But you should complete most of the cycles before falling asleep and have a little focus to really do ssild and not drift Away in thoughts and fall asleep unconscious.
If you fall asleep to early or with not enough focus you won't have any success.
