      Hey guys.
      Its been awhile since I've posted a tutorial, so I figured I'd fill you in on some of the stuff I've learned about WILD over the past few months.

      I hope you find it as useful as I have.

      That pain technique is not "the way to WILD." It is just an example of how to use an anchor to keep your consciousness up.

      Other anchors could be anything:
      • Passively noticing your breathing
      • Turn on some white noise
      • Make the room colder/hotter than usual
      • Buy something that vibrates and tie it to your leg/let it vibrate there as you fall asleep.
      The reason I used pain as an example is because even the person that has almost zero willpower will be able to hold onto it as they slowly drift off.


      The pain method will NOT work for everyone. As someone in this thread mentioned, some people have a low tolerance for pain and will not be able to properly fall asleep due to it clouding the forefronts of their mind's (much like normal 'long' WILD methods do with breathing/etc).

      There were two things I wanted you guys to take out of this tutorial:
      the five step process.
      1. Sleep beforehand
      2. Get up for a little while
      3. Calm your body/mind
      4. Use an anchor
      5. Fall asleep
      And a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanics of "WILD."

      If pain doesn't seem to work for you, try low volume white noise. If that doesn't work, use your breathing. Think of FILD and DEILD, they work for some people but not for others. Now that you know what to look for, you can choose the method that is right for you (or easily create one for yourself).
      With any anchor you use, use it passively.
