How do I stop myself from falling asleep when doing WILD

Ello, I’m trying to get back into lucid dreaming and Im trying to attempt to do a WILD. Im following, https://community.ld4all.com/t/wild-...rial/31684.The tutorial says that a WILD is best to do after you wake up. I wake up a bit early. (4 - 7 am). But when I attempt a WILD, I always fall asleep when counting or will get too tired, stop counting and just fall asleep. And when I try to do it when I am trying to sleep in the night, I cant fall asleep or stay still! Is there anything I can do to combat either or both of these problems?

Your goal should be falling asleep , so I don't really understand why it is a problem. How else would you dream?

I don't think falling asleep is the issue , but your anchor is. Experiment with different anchors and find something that will retain your consciousness. There is loads of info about anchors but the truth is to each their own , the best anchor for me could be useless for you.

And to your second question, You shouldn't attempt WILD when you fall asleep initially. There is bunch of reason why you shouldn't do it but it's irrelevant, all you need to know that it is not worth it and likely won't work.
