I keep falling asleep before I'm lucid when I WILD.Anyone have any tips on staying awake?

Falling asleep is what you're supposed to do, just make sure to have a good anchor to keep you conscious

If you're too tired when you do it, you will lose consciousness. Also if you're trying to do it at the begining of the night, you will most likely fail. Try it 4½-6 hours into sleep during a WBTB.

Also, here's two tips
1. Stay up longer, read, go to the bathroom get some water, this way you won't fall asleep as fast
2. Have a fan or type of white noise in the background. This will help you focus on reality and maintain your conscious mind while you are entering the dream
