Difficulties Going Past Sleep Paralysis when WILDING

[corranhornchamp]

I've been trying to WILD every night for the past month+. Last night I tried WILDing as I went to bed, then I tried WBTBing after I woke up about 3 hours after falling asleep. Or that was the plan. I set 2 alarms. One for 3 hours after I went to bed. And another 2 and a half hours after that. I laid back, got comfortable, starting my attempt. Long story short, my body went into SP, but I didn't get to the HI/HH stage. After awhile, I would roll over. I'm not talking every 10 to 15 minutes, like after 45 minutes I would roll over just because, after that long I'm thinking F-it. But I can't fall asleep. Even when I give up, I start out tired and comfy, but as I start drifting off to sleep I become aware every time SP starts setting in. It's like now that I recognize the signs of SP, I become hyperaware of them, awakening my conscious mind and preventing sleep. This has continued for many weeks. It's starting to interfere with normal sleep. I laid in bed trying to fall asleep but becoming fully conscious when SP set in all the way up until the first alarm went off. I got up, turned off the alarm. Went back to bed and finally I fell asleep. The second alarm woke me around 3:45am. So now I'd been asleep for a little over 2 hours. Immediately I roll over and my body WHAM goes into full blown SP and I can feel it, maaaan I can f'n feeel it. Not this partial shite I'd normally feel while trying to WILD. I start to see faint, very very very faint glowy lines over my eyelids. Nothing heavy like I'd associate with a hallucination, just normally what happens when I get close to sleep. No weird sounds or sensations. But I am trying to stay aware of my anchor, which is feeling my body comfortably sinking into my bed. The SP was so intense. I figured of any times I could have WILDed this would have been it. But again same problem. Even as my mind started into sleep, it's like, remembering my anchor made me come awake. Or awareness of an anchor let other awareness spill in, the awareness of SP perhaps, I don't know. At first I lay in bed for about 10 minutes seemingly coming more and more awake, then eventually just fell into full blown sleep until morning. Ugh. What says you all? Similar experiences? EDIT: Topic typo- "Passed" I believe I meant...
