I hate to say this, but there is no real method that can guarantee you a lucid without much time or work. Most everything requires some amount of time, practice, or a combination. Most of all, patience is needed for DILDs because it can take a while to start having them no matter what you do.

Having said that, MILD should not take an hour before bed every night. Try it for maybe 10-20 minutes instead. Like I said, MILD is a method that will take days or weeks no matter how long you spend in bed each night--your mind needs time to internalize the information you are giving it, and time to respond accordingly. Be patient with it.
