It sounds like you are trying too hard. Remember, you have to fall asleep to WILD. Try to trust yourself a little more. Get comfortable, and try to let yourself slip a little closer to sleep. Let your mind wander a little more before bringing it back to whatever you were doing to hold your awareness. See if you can bounce in and out of that dreamy state of mind, hanging right on the edge of sleep.
