I am going to try my first lucid dreaming tonight (I am not expecting it to work the first time) and I'm just wondering can anyone give me any tips to lucid dreaming?

I also heard of this method if you lay on your back perfectly still when you are very sleepy and you close your eyes for 20-30 minutes you will enter deep sleep paralysis and you will enter a lucid dream. Has anyone tried this method and if you did did it work? This is the method that I'm going to try.

One of my main concerns is waking up. Do you wake up automatically when you panic or get too excited?
