Thread: Combo: DEILD --> FILD

I believe that FILD is based on SOREM (Sleep Onset REM), so you need to directly enter in REM sleep if you want it to work.
That's why FILD is more a DEILD technique than a WILD technique.

Hey,
Uh... What?
What you're saying is, if you wake up, then go back to sleep, you won't enter REM sleep but N-REM? So how should be able to enter directly into REM?
And what is SOREM? Looking it up on the internet tells me that it's linked to narcolepsy, a hypersomnia disorder?
Thanks.
