Well I guess it would help us if you could provide us with information about your sleep schedule and such. You know, what time you go to bed, how many hours of sleep you get, ect.

Personally, I think the best technique is WBTB. I don't need to be up for too long and it doesn't require me to do much during the normal waking hours, and it can be applied with just about any technique.

Have you checked out the tutorials?
