Hi all,

Recently I've been trying to combine my practise for both DEILD and standard WILDS, and was wondering if anyone could see any downsides to my methods which my stunt my progress.

In terms of DEILDing, I am trying to convince myself to keep still whenever I wake in the night, but so far I've had little luck with that as I always stretch before I realise I'm awake. The couple of times I succeeded in staying still, I kept still for a good few minutes with no SP/LD. I have DEILDed a few times, but usually its due to chaining my LDs.

For my WILDs, I have been getting up 4-6 hours after falling asleep, sometimes staying up for a while, other times just going to the loo then back to bed. What I've been doing in terms of combining the techniques is trying to WILD when I get back into bed, but setting an alarm for about 45 minutes later in case I fall into unconscious sleep, in which case I can attempt to DEILD when the alarm wakes me up (it turns off after a few seconds by itself).

So does anyone see any downside to my technique, and if so, where would you suggest I make the changes?

Cheers in advance for any help,

Lucas
