Nap Time?

I heard a lot of people say that the best time to try WILD is about five hours after going to bed or in an afternoon nap but no one ever elaborates on WILDing during naps. When is the best time to try WILD naps and how is WILDing during afternoon naps any easier than trying to WILD when you first go to bed?

Any answers would be really helpful

Hey there,

I don't think there's a real best time to take a nap, though I wouldn't do it too close to awakening, or too close to your regular sleep time. Whenever you feel like you could nap would be good, I guess. In some cultures midday naps (like siesta's) are very much a part of daily life. Certainly, after a meal the body often gets a little tired for many people.

The reason why napping works is, in my opinion, that you tend to sleep a lot lighter. Your body doesn't go into deep sleep, so your consciousness isn't quite as deactivated as it normally is. This in turn should allow you to recall dreams much easier in naps, and indeed have an easier time become lucid as well (whether its DILD or WILD).

Good napping!
