hey all....my question is this:

I always read about people who have a routine like this:

wake up 5/6 hours
do "X"
go to sleep
Lucid Dream.

for some people, "X" is a self-affirmation procedure...some people use reading about dreams as part "X"....others do entirely unrelated things...

Basically, Im begging for those of who you use any WBTB (but non-wild) method....to describe your WBTB procedure in as much depth as possible so I can try to create my own simple induction method.

One night...I got up...spent 20 minutes walking from my bed to my door and reality checking (proper checks, not lazy ones). I thought this would incubate a scenario. Then I relaxed on my bed and used self-affirmations. Went to sleep....and nothing. I thought it was fool proof....maybe I should repeat it...

But if anyone could please share their WBTB procedures It would be a great help for me (and maybe other people with similar lack of success)

(btw...I could MILD...but I've only succeeded by having a 45minute WBTB and that leaves me really tired)
