Some people say up for about half an hour before going back to sleep, but some people, like myself, wake up for maybe <5 minutes. In these 5 minutes, i lay there for about 30 seconds letting my dream come back to mind clearly before writing them down. After writing them down, i might have a sip of water (I keep a drink bottle by my bed) or grab some apple juice from the fridge, have a wizz and then get comfortable back in bed before attempting to WILD or just going straight back to sleep.
Just find out on what feels comfortable for you.
Good luck!
Thanks, fOrceez, and everyone else, for the tips. I basically tried what you did, but even with the TRYING to stay up for five minutes, I just COULDN'T go back to sleep. I don't know what it is, my body was aching, every muscle HURT, I wanted to just close my eyes and sleep. But I just, couldn't. I was wide awake. I was up for two hours before I fell back asleep for three hours after that, then woke up again. . . I just don't know what to do
