Hey guys. I found out about CANWILD- waking up an hour before sleep via an alarm which turns itself off, not moving and DEILDing- about ten days ago. The first day I tried it, I woke up, thought I'd woken up too early and set the alarm (it's my calendar notification on my Blackberry) half an hour forward. I woke up then and went straight into a LD. It was short- a few minutes long- but as it ended, I got my first dream chain DEILD, which was interrupted by my alarm to go to school.

I've been trying since then and it seems either I get the timing wrong or I don't wake up.

I've also tried FILD and got a lucid from that at around 5 hours after I fell asleep (woke up naturally) but it ended really fast and I forgot to DEILD.

I go to bed around 11 and wake up at 7, so should I start going to bed at 10 instead? That's what I did when I got my first CANWILD. Also, should I set 2 alarms- one for FILD and the other for the CANWILD?
....Or, should I stay up till 2 AM or something and immediately try FILD as I'll be tired? Then it's 5 hours sleep till 7, which I've heard doesn't make you feel tired.
