Like i said above, if you fall asleep really easily, make your WBTB time a little longer. If you find you're not falling asleep quickly, but you're falling asleep, you need to put more awareness into your anchor. Ontop of this, you need to find your sleep cycles. This will be for example, if you sleep at midnight and wake up at 6 (assuming your cycle is about 1.5 hours) then set your alarm to about 5:30, or however long you need to prepare yourself for the WILD. The aim of this is to be awake before REM finishes. Keep in mind you also have to WILD into REM.

I have a problem with finding my sleep cycles; I do not know how long it takes me to fall asleep. Sometimes, it takes 30 minutes, 1 hour, or even 1 hour and 30 minutes (or more). As such, I do not know when to let my alarm clock go off (after the 4-6 hours of sleep).

Before you go to sleep, drink a cup of water. Whatever time you wake up at is safe to assume that is after one of your REM periods. For example, i just woke up after 3.5 hours of sleep. So my first REM period is around after 2 hours of sleep and then my next REM period is approx. another 1.5 hours of sleep. If you wake up any time after 4 hours of sleep, you should attempt your WILD then.
Sorry about the loong awaited reply xD

No problem about the waiting.
Thanks for the tip.

I have the same problem. Sometimes, it takes me an hour of tossing and turning even if I'm already so tired.

will be trying this tonight (:
