Do these methods totally ruin the wild?
I'm sure that we swallow in our sleep so it shouldn't stop you from WILDing, but if you pay too much conscious attention to the act of swallowing, your body will know that you're truly not asleep.

Don't move your finger as a test as that will likely cause you to have to start over. A member here once posted that they simply try to envision themselves "falling through their bed" to see if they're asleep. I thought this was a great idea as it doesn't involve any movement by your physical body.
