Try repeating a phrase or word in the back of your mind AND falling back to sleep. I use 'thank you' or sometimes 'thank you for this dream.'
Do not focus on it enough that you will not sleep, just casually repeat the phrase, get comfy and fall asleep. The idea is that a small bit of awareness may be kept for a few minutes after you fall asleep. If you enter a dream during that window, you can become lucid.
For some odd reason I really thank you for this bit of advice because I feel like it will be the key to my success in WILDs.
I have no problem with falling asleep but maintaining awareness is my biggest issue upon lucidity.
