Thread: I cannot stay awake!

This is my biggest problem! Any time that I wake for WBTB, I can never stay awake! It is bugging me soo much, and I feel like I have so many missed opportunities because of this stupid thing!

How do you stay awake when you wake up? Please! I really need to know how soon!

You should do something to quickly arouse yourself. If it's a WBTB, just get out of bed I guess? Will power plays a great role here. If you really aim to get up, it won't be as hard as you think.

You're actually very lucky, it's way easier to get over being too sleepy than being too awake.

Just REFUSE to go to fall asleep, if you can just keep your mind going your body should fall asleep pretty quick.

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.

Is this a problem? If you do remember wakeups during night AND go asleep fast then you is set for WILDs. Just use some easy tech like DEILD, FILD or "cellphone" tech.

Actually I had to experiment all the previous week and still experimenting to find right time to go to bed. If I go too soon, then I am too awake during night wake ups and cannot do WILD fast enough (within minute or two). If I go too late it screws my sleep as well and incompatible with my job.
