I've recently started practising SSILD and with great success. However, more than 50% of the time I can't fall back asleep after waking up from my alarm/mantra.
I have this issue with any sort of WBTB techniques and I don't stay up for too long, because all I do is go to the toilet downstairs and go back to bed, then do the SSILD cycles.
I think it might have something to do with which part of the sleep cycle I wake up from. I think that I fall asleep easier when I am feeling groggy. Any tips?
Could I maybe combine a breathing technique (e.g. 4-7-8?) with SSILD? And/or maybe listen to white noise or something? Or would this interrupt with SSILD?
Also another question: when I have trouble falling back asleep after a WBTB and nothing seems to help, could I in theory just stay completely motionless and let my body go to sleep (even though my mind is still awake)?
Could I use WILD as a cure for insomnia like this, I mean?
