Lately, I've been practicing maintaining focus at night. I know it's an uphill struggle to try and WILD when going to bed at night, but I do it to practice focus.

Lately, I've been noticing when I'm starting to slip into sleep. Where I will realize I can't remember what happened in the last 30 seconds or so, or I will hear a random noise that I know is part of HI. I'll even start HI and see landscapes or other scenes etc, and remind myself "You are starting to fall asleep, focus on staying awake."

My goal is to reach SP. I've only had SP once on accident when I awoke from a nap and experienced the old hag, despite it being scary as hell, I enjoyed the experience and want to reach it again.

On to my question....are there any advice on staying awake at this stage? I know I am nearing sleep, and it's hard to stay focused on being awake. Is it simply more practice that is needed or what?
