What I do is, I repeat that affirmation when I'm in bed last thing at night and I try to catch the point when I'm falling asleep. I can usually spot this because I start missing out words in the affirmation or replacing the words with the wrong words. At the point I'm falling asleep, I open my eyes for a couple of seconds. This makes me wake a little. Then I close my eyes again and start saying the affirmation again until I reach the point where I'm falling asleep and once again open my eyes and repeat.
Sometimes I "lose" and the next thing I know I' waking up in the morning. But on the times when I've repeated this procedure several times my recall is good.
