Thread: Need A Few Answers

1. Doubt it!
2. Listen to some relaxing music, sends me right off. Before that I used to leave the tv on and listen to it as I fall asleep.
3. if you did it for 45 mins, I'd say that's too much, I'd avoid screens all together. Get yourself some relaxing music

any nice examples of some you like?

From my understanding of the SSILD technique, the idea is to enter this "trance" state where you fall unconscious and then catch yourself a few times. Watching videos after this will probably diminish the effect of the trance and thus the technique.

A lot of people say that using a computer/tablet/whatever is bad for your sleep, but I don't think it has much to do with dreams.

2. I would love some tips on how to fall asleep quickly without watching videos and such
3. When i do a SSILD with WBTB i watch videos (again) to fall asleep, does this affect my chances of becoming lucid?

#1 No, you might still have a lucid dream. It might, however, effect your ability to fall asleep. Light is the enemy of sleep.

#2. Visualize a relaxing scenario while progressively relaxing your muscles from toe to head.

#3. See Answer #1. Anyhoo, good luck to you!

I don’t think that after doing all this then you can have a lucid dream.

I thought i had sleep problems. It felt like hours before i lost consciousnesses. I read a post here somewhere that helped, about giving away your consciousness instead of letting sleep take it, and it helped. Also, i have a set playlist of music to play. Around 10 songs, and then it stops. When i wake up, I remember only hearing 2, which always surprises me. And its not relaxing music, it's Red Hot Chili Peppers haha.
