I think I got to sleep pretty quickly... I'm pretty sure I stayed up too long and off topic.

If I don't go out, I'll give it another try tonight doing it better.

The only problem with staying up too long is that you might have trouble returning to sleep so if you don't have trouble with that then staying up for 20 minutes won't be a problem. You would have a greater chance if you done dream related stuff but i don't all the time so it's not necessary.

If you fall asleep too quickly your intention might not be set so it is necessary to make sure you are awake enough before going back to bed. What i do is walk around my house which i find helps wake me up.

I'll try that.

Alright, I'm off to try your technique for the second time, hopefully with better results.

Wish me luck.

How did you do it wrong?

I stayed up a teeny bit too long, which made it hard for me to go to sleep
