When you WBTB how do you feel?

**Arch** · 09-28-2011 05:57 PM

Ok, I'm just collecting some information for a guide I might write, so tell me:

When you WBTB, upon waking how do you feel? Answer in the poll above, or give a more detailed answer below!

Thankyou!

Edit: Made the poll public, I'm interested in individuals answers.

Also please only vote if you know you are doing WBTB right!

I think you meant "public".

For me, at first I'm quite tired and I often struggle to get out of bed. Once I'm up for a few minutes, I really start to wake up fast, so I don't keep my WBTBs for longer than around five minutes.

Wow, glad I caught that one fast, thanks.

It happens to everyone.

Somehow, ever since this week i trained myself to wake up naturally a few times a night.(getting more sleep too) It's much easier to remember dreams this way than using an alarm clock. And i'm never too awake/tired. I can just fall back asleep.

It all depends on how much I've slept before the WBTB. Usually a bit tired but I'm used to going up at 5 AM, and the excitement of soon becoming lucid gets me going. Unless I haven't decided to get out of bed, then I'm just tired.

I sleep 6 hours before my WBTB so I am very rested. But I don't WBTB for long I just go right back to sleep so it doesn't really matter how I feel

But if I do stay up I am really tired.

Good luck with your guide!

Thanks, I just wanted other peoples opinion, I have been struggling to get back to sleep after WBTB recently! It's quite annoying (and I do it after 4.5 hours -.-).

Believe it or not, I feel the same way during my WBTB as I do right before I fall asleep.
I base my WBTB's off of how I feel when I climb into bed that night.
I usually do it after 5 hours and 30 minutes and occasionally 5 hours.

I answered Awake (Not too hard to sleep).
I wakes up 4 am after 4,5 sleep. I'm sure I'm doing the technique right. The only thing I could do better, is to walk out of bed. I use to sit up, maybe walk a little bit, and write dreams down and read a little bit on DV.

Good luck with the guide!

I feel miserable whenever I do WBTB and upon waking always think "fuck this I'm going right back to sleep".

Haha, that's what I'm always like, but recently I haven't been able to get back to sleep, I'm sure it will wear off though.

When i WBTB i just stay up for about 40 mins. and an able to do a WILD after about 10-20 minutes of trying to go back to sleep.

I normally have a hard time returning to sleep. I don't normally set an alarm, so my WBTB starts during a natural midnight awakening. I feel fully awake after about 30 seconds of looking for a light or flashlight.

I wake up really tired, hard to keep eyes opened. But I get up to use the restroom so staying in bed is not an option, hehe. I usually get up after 3.5 - 4 hrs of sleep for 30 - 60 min. and most of the time don't feel like staying up at all. But then I remember I got lots of lucids this way and that keeps me going. Once I didn't get up for WBTB and I got a lucid at time when I would be WBTB - something like a CAT.
