Waking up excited

[mini0991]

Ever have the experience of getting up, remembering your intention to LD, and then all of a sudden, you get this rush or excitement that spoils everything and wakes you up too much? And what do you do about it when it happens?

I think i know what you mean, you get yourself too pumped up and you feel like you have had about 40 cups of coffee so you then find it very difficult to get back to sleep right? I used to get that. you have just got to calm yourself down, though its not as easy as it sounds.

This happens to me occasionally. Try just thinking of your "happy place". Sounds like what a hypnotist would tell to you but it helps when you want to relax. Sometimes when I wake up I automatically have these thoughts about an island or something similar, to relax myself a little while still thinking about remaining lucid.
