Tip for WILD!

Hello guys!

When i first started WILD, i had problems keeping conscious while lying down. I always drifted of to sleep and the WILD failed. I know a lot of you WILd'ers have or had this problem. I've found a simple technique that tells you when you are falling asleep and so it tells you to be more conscious!

1: Lay down after a WBTB.
2: Bend your knees so you're lying like this: o-^
3: When drifting of to sleep, your legs will drift apart. When this happens, you are losing consciousness! Put your knees together and start over. Doing this will train you to feel the moment of falling asleep and getting used to it. After some time, you are used to the feeling of falling asleep and you can remain conscious without the leg technique and just lay down flat without bend knees.

I find that if I try to WILD while on my back I can't get to sleep. But if I roll onto my side, I just fall asleep and can't stay awake.
I'll have a go at this technique, but I'm fairly sure I will stay awake.

Another very old idea to remain conscious while in the transition to sleep is holding an upright forearm while you lay on your side ( or on your back ).

Another option is to hold a spoon with your hand near the border of the bed, specially with tile floor.

And an interesting idea i just found out: to create an app ( what could it be ? ) that detects when you stop pressing a button, ie: when you fall asleep.

hmm how long u stay awake in your WBTB? Maybe you should stay up longer, then you'll fall asleep less quick

I would be for ever grateful if that would work. I'll try and post the result here. I've been drifting into sleep way to soon for ages. Tks.

Anything is possible if you remove your doubts.
I used to do a method like this, and because it made so much sense to me i had no doubt it would work. It really helped. Some of the best techniques are simply the ones that make the most sense.
