Thread: I cannot stay awake!

The thing is, I really am motivated to get a WILD, but my body just can't comply with my mind! I try, really hard sometimes, but it just isn't good enough! What are some ways that I can boost my will power?

I have the same kind of problem. I can stay awake for quite a while and start seeing something like dreams.. I know that if I do fall asleep that I barely am sleeping because somebody could be walking on the first floor of my home and I wake up. Any suggestions?

what are you doing when trying to stay awake? If you are laying in bed then you have no hope. What if you sit in a computer chair? Worse comes to worse just stand, you probably wont fall asleep then. stand there and watch tv or do stuff on your computer.

You aren't supposed to use electronics. Or else I would have had like 15 WILDS by now.

is that true? I feel like people on here are always suggesting to go on this site or watch movies like Waking Life for a little bit before WILD attempts.

I think the problem is sometimes this wakes people up too much but you seem to have the opposite problem so it may be worth a try.

If you dont want electronics maybe stand or sit in a chair and read.

what does everybody else think. Are electronics a bad idea?

Electronics wake up your brain too much. That is why they shouldn't be used.

That's right, electronics DO wake your brain up. Maybe just reviewing over how to do the WILD, and reading your DJ if you have one. You're so lucky, I always wake up too much when waking up :p. Try just opening your eyes and if they get heavy, remember your intent to have an LD. Best of luck, and post results
