I know that you need 5-6 hrs of sleep for a WILD, but it it possible to achive one after a 2-3 hour nap (ugh, a looong nap)? Since it's really hard for me to hear my alarm when it's in the middle of the night, and I'd like to at least try WILD, it would be nice to do one in the afternoon.
Therectially, it should be possible. But if you do have a LD, it will be low-quality and short. All REM periods before 5-6 hours are usually like this. Not every time, but usually.
Try using your cell phone as an alarm. Set volume to high, and there's no way you will not wake up :D

A cell phone would be a good choice - if the sounds doesnt wake me up, the vibration against the table does ;)Quote:

If your alarm doesn't work I always try altering it just a bit with mine I was so used to the exact tone and time it woke me up that I would subconsciously turn it off before I was fully awake, many times resulting in me waking up 1-2 hours after the designated alarm (missed many classes ;-))
Try setting the volume just a bit softer/louder, or even a few minutes earlier/later, that has worked for me in the past. You could even get a new alarm clock I now have 3 for important days when I desperately need to be up.
