Well, first of all - just so there's no confusion - "DRILD" is a term I made up. To my knowledge, there's no technique actually called that.

To answer your question: DEILD, by virtue of necessarily happening part of the way through a REM cycle, is likely to be somewhat shorted than, say, a WILD. But that's only a general statement, however. They are capable of lasting quite some time. So 30 seconds is definitely on the short side and can be improved upon, especially when the event happens closer to the beginning of a REM period.

Thanks, and I said DRILD cause it does sound better.

I figured as much. I just didn't want anyone getting confused by what I said.
