I stayed up late with my boyfriend, watching documentaries about conspiracy theories, and couldn't fall asleep. It got to be about 4am, and since I knew I had to wake up at 6:30a, I decided that I wouldn't try to LD and just used the relaxation techniques to try and sleep. All of a sudden I saw sparkly lights fluttering in front of my eyes and felt like I was going through a blurry tunnel. I realized what was happening and said, "OMG it's happening!" In my head. Then I became fully awake I'm positive that if I had calmed down, it would have happened!!!
