Thread: Insomnia after SSILD

I tried ssild combined with wbtb for the last few days and got some pretty good results. I wake myself up after 4.5hours of sleep and stay awake for 10-20mins. But every time i performed ssild, its very hard to fall asleep..
It usually takes me 5-10mins to fall asleep but every time i tried ssild i just found myself thinking about random stuff and lying awake for 30mins to an hour :/ I tried staying awake 5-10mins but either i fell asleep while performing ssild or i couldn't sleep after the technique.

Should i try meditating after ssild to calm my mind or would that mess up the whole technique?
Or does anyone have some other advice?

Thanks!
