Ideally, you want either the mantra or something related to the mantra to be your last thought before falling asleep.
Also, don't forget that mantras aren't the only component of MILD; it will be more effective with reality checks and high dream recall.
As for consistency, I recommend continued use of MILD for at least another week or two. If don't end up any closer to your goal at the end of that period, I would pick a different technique to try for 2 weeks or so. Perhaps returning to MILD afterwards will allow you to approach it at a different angle than before, getting you closer to your goal. On the other hand, if MILD does in fact work and you achieve your goal, there's no reason to stop using it.
