Thread: Testing SSILD for a month

I'm in. Let the record state that I will be doing vipassana meditation for 40 minutes before bed, will wake up 4-5 hours after going to bed, do SSILD, go back to sleep, wake up 1.5 later and do it again. My sleep schedule is very stable so no issues with rem rebound for me.

I'm thinking that it will get easier once we build the habit of getting up in the night to do it. I expect the first week to be the hardest.

Also we have to keep a very sharp eye out for false awakenings. I'm going to be using the nose pinch technique every time I wake up.

I might as well give SSILD a serious try too. Right now a WILD-like technique is the main thing missing from my regimen, so this should be good.
