Questions about my last night's attempt

Hi all. Last night I tried to WILD, after a long time; about 2 months or so. I got up (naturally) for WBTB I think a little too late (about 7 hours). I then went to the bathroom and got back in bed. I layed on my back with my arms at my sides. I then just focused on not letting my mind wander too much. After a minute or so, I started to focus on the sound of my fan blowing. I did this until I got really uncomfortable (about 5-7 minutes in), but tried to bear with it. Eventually I don't know what happened. I think I fell asleep, but I woke up for the day in the same position. I was really stiff, so I hadn't moved. Just thought I would add that bit in.

I guess I need help with being focused. Any tips?
Oh and also, how long does it usually take you to transition? I've never gone through the transition, actually only once. But it was so hazy.

Oh and, any tips on how I can form my WILDing technique into something more helpful? (ie, something that'll boost the success of my WILD)

Thanks!

Try one or some of these things:

1. Mantras-Chanting things in your head such as "mind awake, body asleep", or "I am dreaming"

2.Counting-Whatever works for you; imagine a pen or piece of chalk writing out the numbers, counting up or down, or (my personal favourite) imagine the numbers scrolling down your vision in such a way that you can see the next and previous number

3.Simple maths-that requires a little thought, but not too much

4.Watch the colours behind your eyelids-for some people it is just swirling, formless colours, for others, an entire scene that is moving and changing sporadically. Make sure that you don't get lost within this and fall asleep. This can be used to form dream scenes as well
