It's a thin line you have to learn to cross when it comes to achieving lucidity with WILD. On the one hand, you shouldn't be too sleepy as then you would fall asleep immediately and miss the transition. If you're too sleepy then I would recommend undertaking either mental or gentle physical activies - get up, read about lucidity, repeat mantras.
On the other hand, you don't want to wake yourself too much as to make it impossible to fall asleep. In general, it helps to try to feel as much at ease in such situtations. I tend to sometimes become extra nervous about not being able to fall asleep which doesn't help the situation at all. To remedy that I focus on relaxing instead of fighting hard to fall asleep. Sometimes I would just focus on the pleasant darkness behind my eyelids or the feeling of my body, gravity, etc. This can be a good anchor for WILD as well as it helps you both focus and relax at the same time without forcing anything.
