      Keep accidentally falling asleep!

      Ok so i have been trying to WILD for like a month now and one of the main reasons i have never succeeded is because when i wake up at 4a.m. i always pass out and accidentally fall asleep. Any advice on how to keep this from happening. (Besides advising that i stay awake longer)

      Maybe you just need a different anchor. If you've been counting your breathing and it's not working, switch to perhaps listening to the ticking of a clock. I know it keeps me awake, even if it may annoy me from time to time.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      If you have an mp3 player or speakers, you always could download an mp3 that plays the ticking of a clock, or something similar.

      You NEED to fall asleep to have a wild, its the anchoring part that your having trouble with.
