You do not want your full attention drawn to remembering your place.
I've never thought of doing it this way before, I'm going to give it a try tonight. This sounds much more intuitive.

In the first week I was attempting to WILD I one time counted straight to 450, never losing my spot. I just kept thinking "when the heck is this thing going to kick in?" I think that might fit into the category of "too awake"
