Thread: Why You Fail at WILDs

If I can WILD every night without passing out in the middle of class, I'm all for it!

Every time I've done it, I certainly don't feel any more tired at all the next day. Then again, that's also because my WILDs haven't been excursions where I've had to act like a mummy for 2 hours. They were just like falling asleep normally, but with a little twist.

Certainly WBTBs don't make one more tired, assuming that you're not missing out on large amounts of sleep.

Also, if anything, I felt revitalized after my lucid dreams. In some ways, they made it much easier to shift between a sleeping state and a waking state, since you're kinda halfway there. Waking up felt more natural -- like simply awaking from a daydream.

So I don't think it's a problem.



Unrelatedly, I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey last night, and I finally understand your icon, Mzzkc. I swear I'd been wondering what it was since I posted in this thread.
