^^ All good points. Mastermind, but...
Shouldn't you keep in mind that you are a very experienced LD'er, and the fact that you've WILD'ed at bedtime might not translate immediately to it becoming fact with a beginner? I too have had successful WILD's at bedtime, but in no way recommend it to someone just getting started with the practice. Yes, bedtime WILD's are possible, but there are better times to do them, I think.
That said:
The rest of what you say is of course very sound advice, as going to sleep with thoughts of LD'ing in your head is always a good thing, and attempting a WILD is about the same as setting intention before a night's sleep. But why not just practice MILD, which is essentially equals a "failed" WILD that results in a LD? Might as well go straight to the point, don't you think?
Bottom line, TheInShaneOne: If you are very interested in doing a WILD, WBTB towards the end of your sleep period is the best bet, and I recommend you follow Gab's advice. However, if you are only interested in becoming lucid and cannot change your schedule (or hate sleep masks), then you might want to look into MILD, as it seems a better fit. Keep in mind also that MILD doesn't involve transitions or dealing with the "noise," so it might be a way around the issue. But, as Mastermind said, even failed WILD's can produce LD's, thanks to your mindset, and that's all that really matters, right?
