So I have yet to achieve lucidity in any dreams

And I'm trying to WILD a lot, as I have not had enough preperation for a DILD.

I'm curious, is the WBTB method required for a successful WILD? I mean, I understand that after sleeping for 3-6 hours it'll help up the chances of you jumping straight into REM, but I want to know if it's possible without.

For instance, after a normal week-day at school (I know, "lulz he's young"), is it possible to lie in bed at your normal time for bed and succesfully WILD; and in turn achieve SP and possibly a LD?
Thanks
