I got the app "Alarm Clock" from the app store from iHandy-- and those aren't the same options that are showing up in my appQuote:

That's because were talking about the app called "pro alarm"Quote:

On page one he talked about the app called "pro alarm" not "alarm clock" I'm only trying to help others out so there's no need to be a smartass. If you don't like my advice or information then don't take it. It's not my fault you downloaded the wrong app.Quote:

Problem occurred! I remained conscious for awhile, waiting in bed to feel the SP kick in, the sound wound't stop though, so after awhile, i gave the chord of my earpiece a gentle tug, so it wouldn't be so loud. I didnt have a LD, could that slight movement been the reason I didn't feel the sleep paralysis to kick in? and does it matter how loud the alarm is?

Hmm I tried this last night, I had the EasyMp3 Alarm Clock thing running on my computer, I didn't know how loud to put the volume however, I am a deep sleeper so I put it high, it woke me up and I managed to stay still but my eyes instantly shot open. So it must of been too loud I guess?
Problem is this being 4 seconds long I'm worried if it's too quiet I just won't awaken at all.
Huh, strange I've been attempting this for like a week now, but I always I mean literally almost always wake up before the alarm. Sometimes 10 or 30 minutes before it goes off. Its irritating because its almost impossible to fall back to sleep while acknowledging I'm about to DIELD.Quote:

My suggestion to you is to try to set the intention to wake up at a certain time, without setting the alarm. That way you'll be ready to WILD without even needing the jarring alarm. If I didn't have to get up early for work or classes, I would try that myself.Quote:

I've been practising this technique even before I read about it - Wow. Didn't know it was one. I've just been plastering free mp3 files together to make something that will wake me up within that amount of time. My only issue is since I stopped practising, it's been hard to wake up without opening my eyes and moving around.
I'm sure it will come right though.
This is a very neat idea that I might try sometime soon. For now I'm testing out the FILD technique due to a lack of technology needed.
Try and do some autosuggestion before you go to bed saying you wont open your eyes when the alarm goes off. Its worth a shot .Quote:

From personal experience, you might want to just find an MP3 that suits you. I think I remember what the original MP3 file was: imagine a whistle, getting louder and higher in pitch for three seconds. It may end up jolting you rather than just awakening you, so I'd recommend finding a sound that's loud enough to awaken you, but serene enough to keep you from being startled.Quote:

I had the same problem when I tried it. Thinking back to it, I don't think I ever actually succeeded... :shock:Quote:

hah any helpful hints are welcomed
well I failed this last night because I was to excited that I couldn't fall asleep. Anyways, I will try again and we will see.
Thanks, I'll be sure to do that.Quote:
