Thread: Mancon's In Depth WILD Guide

Seems like a nice tutorial, but I have a question.
I don't have the ability to perform a WBTB during the night at any time besides summer, so I want to get used to being able to perform the WILD without the WBTB. I also can't attempt to do the WILD in the afternoon, since it would A- I can't fall sleep due to school and other things like that, and B- If I somehow managed to do it, I would have an unimaginable hard time falling asleep later that night.

So my question is, how would this technique work if I tried it after waking up 5 hours after falling asleep and say, going to get a glass of water and returning to bed? Would I have to adjust the technique in anyways?

And also, I once tried this technique a while ago. I lied down, turned sides every 7-10 minutes, tried to focus on my breathing and things like that. However, the most I got was my arms and part of my upper body feeling numb before I decided to give it up. Was that a sign that I was nearing Sleep Paralysis?

If you don't have the ability to WBTB, then I don't think WILD is the right technique for you. You have to find a technique that will work with you and your lifestyle. WILDing without a WBTB (Or nap) is very hard, but if you are really determined to do this click here.

Yes, it can work if you did that. That's fine.

Numbness is a sign you are entering SP or in SP. You should only turn if you really feel like you need to move or want to move. If you are fine staying still, then just stay still. It isn't required to turn every 10 minutes.
