WBTB not helping

I wake up, and I am still unable to reach any form of sleep paralysis. I have experimented with different waking times as well.
What should I do?

How do you go about your WBTBs? Everyone has a certain amount of time they can stay up without becoming too wide awake for WILDing. I stay up for ten minutes, because any longer and I wake up too much; for others it's more or less time. The best time to WILD is from 4 - 6 hours after waking; I'm assuming you've tried that already though, so moving on.

Have you tried any relaxation techniques, such as reverse blinking or deep breathing? Jeff's free-falling WILD technique is also great for inducing SP.

Another thing to consider is maybe you'd enter SP easier during a nap 5 - 6 hours after waking up. You could even try a time earlier than that - sometimes, I wake up early and then go back to bed within two hours, and I can hit SP just like that, because I'm sort of tired and still "waking up".

This.

WBTB has always been an issue for me too, but most of my dreams occur during naps and lazy mornings.

I seem to dream more during my naps too, especially if I just had a late night. I actually took a nap a few hours ago, and had one of the longest dreams I've ever experienced. :P

You just reminded me how tired I am. NAPTIME. :D
