Question about sleep paralysis.

[QTom]

I know everyone who attempts WILD seems to ask similar questions, but I wanted to ask my specific one. So I have been trying to WILD for the last week or so (I did have a short random DILD just from thinking about LDing so much though), but I have always found the WILD technique more intriguing. I have never sucessfully WILDed, and have only had about 2 short lived DILDs. I have been waking up after about 4 - 5 hours of sleep. I then relax a little, generally just by sitting up with my eyes shut and thinking about lucid dreaming for a few minutes. Then I lay down again and try using Yoshi's WILD technique. When I try to get into sleep paralysis, I lay still, and wait. I always get a little numb and I get the urge to move, itches etc and ignore them. But thats it. Nothing else happens. I tried the count your breaths thing to keep focused, and I got to 300! with nothing happening. What am I doing wrong? Why does nothing happen. I think I am probably not relaxed enough. Basically: 1. Nothing happens, what am I meant to do to reach true sleep paralysis 2. Can you reach sleep paralysis before any sleep as easily (I know it is harder to WILD, but what about just reaching sleep paralysis, as sort of practice) 3. Should I try getting more sleep first (6 hours or so?) 4. What is it when I get numb. Is it SP beginning? Or what? Also, I turn over after 7-10 minutes as suggested in Yoshi's technique, but when I do, I feel like I lost all progress I had done. I loose the numbness etc and it feels like I just got into bed. Is this normal? Thanks. P.S Sorry this turned into a longer post than I intended.
