Thread: Having trouble with WBTB- Help appreciated

Hey everyone! New to this site.

Okay, so I've tried to WBTB. Last night I set my alarm 6 hours after I went to sleep. I woke up, when to the bathroom, had a sip of water and got in the mindset for having a WBTB.

I stayed awake for 32 minutes The problem I had was I could not get back to sleep. I Layed down for an hour trying to fall asleep but still no luck?

My attempt before however was different. I didn't have a LD but I woke up about 5 hours after sleep. I was awake for about 5-10 minutes. I went back to sleep, It felt like my body was sleeping but I was still awake, I could see this image of a dream or something? After that I thought to myself, what if that was my chance for a LD?

So what I'm basically asking is- Do I have to stay awake for 20-60 mins or is it specific to each person? Any tips for relaxing and falling asleep?
