For the last few nights I've been trying to WILD.

Last night I got further than before, possibly because I was doing it at 2:00AM. I lay down, completely still, and then after about 45 seconds I felt an itch on my forehead. I was about to scratch it before realising that this was my body checking if my brain was asleep. I ignored it, and it went away (if only more things acted like that ) I then started to feel like I had pins and needles all over my body, and also the feeling I get when I meditate that all of my muscles are relaxing, and assumed this was the SP stage. I however did not get any HI, and soon after fell asleep.

I have yet to LD, and I'm wondering, is this a good way to go about it? I do feel I'm making some progress with it, as last night I got further than ever before. How can I make sure I don't fall asleep before I want to? And what happens if the HI don't come?

Thanks
