I fixed your title from "DEILD" to "WBTB". |

So I have it set up to where I've been using a mantra to wake myself up from every other dream per night. Well, a few times I've had issues with waking up after the dream, and not being able to fall back asleep afterwards. I think the problem is that a lot of thoughts flow into my brain as I wake up, because I'm usually the kind of person that once they're awake, they can't go back to sleep. |

Hey man! I understand you so much!! I used to fail my 1st wbtb like this. I know the feeling when you do wbtb then wake up but it feels like you would wake up after a 9h sleep. I fixed this by making the time of being awake shorter. I usually only stay up for 5 minutes and the other 5 mins I lie in my bed wating to fall asleep. So i suggest shortening the time of being awake. It helped at me and i had a succesfull lucid dream! |

Soo - do you try to WILD after WBTB? |

TuroAzai, you could perhaps try not doing a WBTB (or DEILD, for that matter), after every dream. Consider instead reserving your effort to LD for one period, preferably very late in your sleep cycle (after 5-6 hrs). That way things are a lot less complex, and you might have a better time clearing your mind, preparing yourself to dream, and, of course, fall asleep. |

I have the same problem and I was able to fix it and I am horrible at going back to sleep. Here are things that I found worked for me |

As Darkswerk noted, don't stress over the not sleeping, as that's a guarantee of not falling asleep. |
