(Skip to end if you don't wish to read the little back story)

So I've been attempting lucid dreaming for about 6 weeks now and I have had 5 within the first month mainly doing mantras and trying to be more aware with reality checks etc..

For the last 2 weeks nothing no lucid dreams even though I have been doing consistent reality checks the whole 6 weeks. The reality checks have only caused me to become lucid once all other times have been from noticing somthing odd.

I have been trying to deild by setting an alarm at 2am, I go to sleep at 8pm because I have to be up at 4am.
So the alarm goes off and it lasts only 1o seconds and turns itself off so I don't have to move.. I then keep my eyes closed and remain completely still. On my first attempt I started to get a tingly sensation and it kind of gave me a fright so I moved

All other times I've either slept through my alarm as it's quiet or I've moved etc, last night I didn't move after the alarm went off but I heard what sounded like someone in the house which could have been hypnogogic state? It caused me to jump up and wake my wife up Haha.

So what I am wondering is if you attempt a dream exit initiated lucid dream from waking up from a dream and you feel 'awake' in your mind and remain still if this fails to produce a dream re entry within minutes like it's supposed to can you just do a normal wild? Because every wild tutorial says that you need to get up out of bed and be awake for a while like a wbtb..?? And how long roughly would a normal wild take from just waking up and not moving to going back to sleep consciously?

Sorry if it's a kind of stupid question I just want to see any one else's view on what I'm attempting here if I'm on the right track.
