Haha sorry CosmicIron.
It goes something like this:

I wake up for my WBTB after sleeping for about 5 hours and 30 minutes. I get up, use the restroom, and then get back in bed. All of this happens in about 2 minutes.
I do the technique, but it seems like I take 25 - 35 seconds on each rep (sight, hear, feel) because my mind keeps wandering and I need to start over, or I'm not real sure how long it has been on that rep. Eventually I do about 3 - 4 cycles and then try to fall asleep.

And sometimes I find myself doing the same rep over and over again.

That's pretty much how it goes every night.

Hows your recall? perhaps your forgetting the dreams and event from the night?
I would try going to bed earlier to notice every awakening and so on.

It appears to me that you may need to stay awake a bit longer. Try staying awake for 10 minutes next time so at least the first couple of repetitions can be done without interruption. After that you can allow your mind to wander and enter the trance.
