I went to sleep at 10 pm and woke up at 8am because of my cat.. I've never been a fan of WILDing but now I like it (I was scared of sleep paralysis)

So I lay down on my back without moving.. controlling my breath counting 1-2,1-2,1-2 in my head. After a while I think I entered in SP (i'm not totally sure). My hearth started beating faster and faster. I could see shadows moving when I had my eyes closed.. It was harder to move. I tried to imagine myself opening my "dream" eyes. I felt like it was gonna work, well i was close. I finally gave up and opened my eyes lol it was all blurry (no I wasn't in a dream I did a reality check!) I moved my arms and legs it felt really strange! And went to type this on DW

Do you think I was in SP? and What could I improve to make it work? Do you think 8am was too late?

thanks for answering
