That being said, getting out of bed and staying up a bit will be more effective. You just have to experiment with the right amount of time up so that you are still able to fall asleep afterwards.

Regarding NREM wild - you can definitely have a lucid in this state, it may be a bit less encompassing though, since there likely will be fewer visuals.
Okay, thanks! I usually don't get up at all when doing a WILD, and thus loose awareness super quick, like in 10 seconds, however, last night I tried getting up, going to the bathroom, setting my alarm, and then trying a WILD, it all took about a minute to do, but I couldn't fall asleep then. It is not like a problem of falling asleep though, but of maintaining awareness, as after about 20 minutes I realized the WILD wasn't going to work, and relapsed into a CILD, where I fell asleep in about 20 seconds. It seems that when doing a WILD, I do something that makes it so I can't fall asleep, but I can't figure out what that might be.
