First, what time are you attempting a WILD? Is it during a WBTB, or a nap? If it's not during either one of those, you'll find it difficult to get to SP even after lying down for a while. Also, half an hour isn't considered that long to be lying still. If you feel as if you're never going to get to SP, well, remember that your mind is a powerful thing - don't doubt yourself.
Another thing to consider is that people don't always get HI, or even any hallucinations whatsoever (besides the paralysis itself). You could be in SP without practically any warning or knowledge, and then suddenly find yourself in a dream. Most people do experience something, but who knows, you may be one who doesn't.
Don't focus on your body when you're trying to induce SP. Forget about your eyes; if you keep moving them around and focusing on the back of your eyelids, they will end up opening. Listen to your breathing or heartbeat, or even use an anchor like a ticking clock. If your eyes just won't seem to relax, dim the lights half an hour or so before lying down. The real goal is to fall asleep (consciously), so you have to relax deeply - that's another reason to dim the lights. Try stretching beforehand, too.
