I can never consciously falling asleep while focusing on something. I'll usually just sit in bed for hours on end. I think I'm focusing too much. Sadly the only time I can fall asleep that way is when I unconsciously do it.

Isn't this essentially what the WILD techniques do? I mean you don't actually stay conscious and focused the entire time do you? While you perform the various techniques you ease a lot of your focus away but still remember your intent? Or am I really confused on this?
