WILD attempts log

If you are reading this journal and you have experience with WILDs, then I hope that you might be able to see what I'm doing wrong or what I could do better. That's one of the purposes of this journal; to get help from other, more experienced individuals. The other reason is that through lots of data I might be able to better analyze my failures. By keeping track of them and never failing for the same reason twice, perhaps I can reach success faster.

I'm going to do a quick outline of my technique so you, the reader, can be aware of what I'm doing (wrong). Maybe I'll notice things too, as I write things down.

- Set alarm to 4-7 hours after current time
- Tell myself that my intention is to WBTB, and then perform a WILD
- Wake up by the alarm
- Sit up for 5-15 minutes, until I'm thinking clearly again. Grab water or go to bathroom if needed
- Lay down in usual sleeping position, try to relax. This is done by relaxing tense body parts one at a time, and just feeling the relaxation
- Start counting from 1 and up, while I see the digits scrolling through my inner eye

This is as far as I have reached so far. What has happened is that I either fell asleep during the relaxation phase, fell asleep again before I could WBTB, fell asleep during counting or got tired of counting and fell asleep in frustration.

So if you have any thoughts on why I don't have success WILDing, please post a comment. It would be very appreciated.
