So I've been trying practicing WILD before I go to sleep and i manage to stay still for a couple of minutes. How long should you stay still for example before trying to attempt like say a WILD anchor such as FILD? |

I timed myself and I can manage to stay still for almost 15 minutes, could that help in my lucid dreaming? |

Staying still isn't likely to do you much good if you don't cultivate the right mental state. Once you cultivate the right mental state, you induce the WILD by falling asleep. Obviously it is hard to fall asleep if you are actively tossing and turning, but that is the only sense in which staying still is helpful (and learning to fall asleep when you want to is a skill in itself, one that can be developed through practice). |

The whole "recommendation" to stay still is just to make it clear that you're trying to fall asleep normally. While falling asleep normally you find a nice position and "stay still" and fall asleep, right? So this is exactly what you should do here. Fall asleep just like you normally do. |
