Thread: Forgetting how to sleep

Like FryingMan said, make sure you are on a normal sleep schedule, if you aren't and you try to WILD it's hard to fall back asleep especially if you went to bed early and don't really need anymore rest.

Try not to use WBTB if you can't fall asleep easily, just use the classic DEILD/WILD approach. Which would be waking up and catching yourself before you move or do anything, lay perfectly still, and just let sleep paralysis hit you again. It should be pretty quick. Also I find that using mantras while trying to go back into sleep paralysis isn't worth it most of the time, just use the void don't let any thoughts, pictures, or sounds come into your mind. If you use mantras just do it a few times before you go to bed or during the day or maybe just a few times before you try to fall back asleep, whenever I try to use mantras while trying to sleep I just lay there for 30 mins+ Try to keep your consciousness at a minimum. It's also important to keep your breathing very slow so your heart rate is slow enough for you to fall back asleep easily. (If you are still going to use WBTB this will help)

Sorry if none of that helps I'm just coming back from a long break from this Forum, I'm a little rusty with my words
