I haven't personally run into this problem, but the usual answer to distractions like this is just to ignore and not worry about them—just let your body do the natural things it wants to do as you fall asleep and stay focused on your mantra and/or the dream you're about to enter. In fact, it's possible the eye opening may not be real—I've had cases where I've felt my eyes opening but it was actually HH or even my dream starting. It's a good idea to always do a reality check after you think you've failed a WILD attempt, because they can often make it look like you've simply woken back up in your bed.

Thank you for your answer! I was just wondering cause I'm thinking of saying in my head "in, out" when I breath cause I'm thinking of breathing deep so I dont get distracted, and relax my muscles
but im not sure if it'll ruin the WILD progress
