Thread: Problems geting SP... Seems almost like I black out?

So funny story. I don't think I got SP last night, but I did use what I had learned to get back to sleep this morning when I woke up, and couldn't get to sleep. Just a bit of relaxation and slow breathing Worked like a charm, so I must be getting better at this.

Congrats, friend!

I woke up for the alarm for WBTB last night but fell asleep too fast. Well, there is always tomorrow morning to try.

I tried WBTB But I found it made me too tired the next day, and was hard, considering there are other people and noise carries. But I did manage to always make myself wake up at like 1am somehow, by training my mind. Really just affirmations, of me telling myself I was going to wake up at, such and such, time. It worked for getting dreams, but I never really found much else in it than that.... maybe I was doing something wrong. I never got SP with it. only falling back to sleep. I had woken into SP once with it, for only a split second, and then fell back to sleep. Hmnn Oh well now i'm trying WILD and the one thing I like is not waking up in the middle of the night. But whatever works best.

I used to be able to train my mind to wake up but then I got lazy.

Hahaha, It just comes naturally for me, I don't know why. Just like how once I have a dream, I can never forget it, and can visualize it happening at any time. My mind is weird xD

lol Oh well, I'm off to bed. I'm so tired I have headaches, and feel like my brain is a brick. Post results in the morning again.

Same with me.

MEh last night all that happened was my hands got a little tingly. I eventually just decided that I needed the sleep and went to bed, because I honestly couldn't see me falling asleep that way last night. Almost too tired, although I don't think it works like that in this predicament.... but still.

Last night I didn't hear the alarm.

Haha Yea that was one of my fears of WBTB, along with the fear of it being to loud and startling me, and along with the worry, of waking up others.

Wait... Was not hearing it a good thing?

Nope. I slept right through the alarm when I was supposed to get out of bed and wake myself up.
Sometimes the alarm startles me so much I'm out of bed even before I even know what is happening. ( reflexes )

Perhaps your mind got used to hearing it, that it is infective now? Maybe change it or something? So I got some Chamomile tea and am going to see how that works out before bed tonight!

Should be interesting!

I know what you mean with reflexes. One time while doing WBTB "although I never used an alarm" Would force myself up fast so I wouldn't fall back asleep. I got up a bit to quick and only after I got out of bed, realized I was actually awake xD

Chamomile tea? Is that just a spice or a flavor of tea?

To fix my alarm problem Ill turn it up higher and maybe change the noise that it makes.

While we're on topic, my main problem seems to be when I wake up for WBTB I never seem to be at a good medium. I'm either so tired I black out, or I'm so wired I can't sleep at all. I only got SP when I went to sleep at 12 at night, and I was out the whole night at a party far away and I didn't get good rest the night before

It's a type of tea. Chamomile is known to be a very mild relaxant due to the glycine it contains. It also helps the immune system. Its known for many other things as well. So, heres a link that lists benefits!

apparently I can't post links because I have not been here seven days..... Just copy and paste.

Have you tried waking up at different times? It could be that either one, your not sleeping enough, or two, are sleeping too long. Is there anything you eat or drink before bed? If so could it be a direct connection to you being to wired?

That would make sense though, how you got SP because your body was so tired it probably sent a sleep signal faster that it normally would, and shot you straight into REM.

Thanks for the link. Turns out I may actually have it!

That is awesome!

Last night I used two tea bags in one cup, it actually worked great! Still haven't gotten WILD to work... but In due time. Once I practice a bit. Something was bothering me yesterday. Not sure what. But it kept me from my meditation, and caused me to not be able to relax much... Also my dreams have been a lot more violent as of late... Hmnn. Oh Well these problems with me normally fix themselves anyway, no use worrying on something I can't change because I never knew what the problem was in the first place.

Makes sense right? xD
