I know the feeling modoro when I did my WILD attempts before bed I also gave up after about 40-45 minutes and I thought that all I needed to do was to wait 30 minutes or at the highest 50 minutes more! And one time I managed to wait for 30 minutes more and by then my body was getting so hot that it was painful it was literally torture, then I fell asleep and got a DILD and woke up 00:15 which is basically the first REM period. So I thought about this and then asked myself what's the point of trying to WILD 1 hour and 30 minutes before it's even possible when you can just fall asleep and either become aware in the dream or wake up and chain it and DEILD in a few seconds.
I know how you feel you want to learn to WILD so you can get lucid at will, and even though you can do that with DEILD as well, you still rather want to learn it the traditional way.
I wouldn't be able to convince myself to stop when I did so I guess I can't convicne you. So if you later on find that WILD is more challenging that you thought remember that DEILD is still available to you. However it should be mentioned that I still kind of do a WILD attempt at bedtime, not because I expect to succeed, but because I notice that I am more aware of my dreams that way.
But just remember that everytime you do a traditional WILD attempt at bedtime, you are basically declaring war with your physical body.
So arm your mind and metaphorical speaking as Neo would say "We need guns lots of guns.."
Good luck soldier!
