Thread: having trouble falling asleep after mild?

No, that is a DV misconception. If you read LaBerge's description of MILD, you'll realize it's not the same. MILD is substantially more complicated than just repeating a mantra.

To the OP: if MILD is waking you up, then you are probably doing more right than wrong. What I have found is that if I drop the exercises and just lie without really thinking about anything (paying attention to breathing or doing SSILD) I normally fall asleep faster than if I let my mind wander or if I continue MILDing.
