Last night (which was the second night of the Competition #16) I tried SSILD and I felt it was better than other times I've tried.
My problem with SSILD (the few times I've tried) is that I either lost focus completely and could not do the cycles or --usually-- I did the cycles properly but couldn't go back to sleep (no FAs, I tried RC) Then I realized that the instructions say one should do the cycles in a position that one usually does not sleep, so last night I did it right and felt that I was having that lazy state of mind in which you can do the cycles even when sometimes my mind started to wander and I brought it back to the cycles... I think I was still erring on the side of too much focus but I felt I would have a chance of falling sleep after the cycles. Then when I felt I needed to do just one last cycle my wife turn around in bed and dragged all the sheets totally waking me up Although I tried a few more cycles I was too alert and couldn't sleep in a while

I don't know, I want to give SSILD a chance, but I understand better how MILD works, so MILD will be my main technique for now, even if I try SSILD from time to time.
