SO when the alarm clock woke me up i turned it off started moving my fingers then did a reality check i was still awake. it didn't work so i went back to bed.
You have to do FILD exactly before you fall asleep. It's quite hard to know when to start the process because if you start to late the risk is that you fall asleep.

Just try a few times more, and try to start moving your fingers just when you start to get real close to sleeping.
