Got any tips/advice for me?

So my friend induces sleep paralysis quite often. I've never actually induced it, just sort of experienced it. Well he told me if I would try WILD tonight, he's gonna do it aswell. So we kinda made a pact xD. I've read some great WILD guides, so I know exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna wake up at 6.30am, I'll be staying awake for 30 minutes. I'm gonna drink some orange juice, go to the toilet, read in my dream journal,.. And I'm gonna count + say mantras in my head while inducing sleep paralysis. My main question is: Is Sleep Paralysis less scary in the morning when it's light outside then when you do it in the middle of the night while it's still dark? I'm terrified of sleep paralysis. But I'm gonna stay positive, and hopefully the experience will be positive aswell. Got any tips/advice for me how to stay calm and go with the flow while experiencing it? And when do you know when you should start visualizing in SP?

This will be my last thread for a while about WILD btw, I know I recently posted something related to this thread but just a bit different. Thank you for reading!!

If you do find yourself in Sleep Paralysis the only thing that can harm you is your fear. If you are afraid it will be scary. If you aren't it won't be.

Day or night would only make a difference to you. If night scares you and day does not...well, there it is. If your eyes are closed at either time it shouldn't matter.

There is a lot of debate on sleep paralysis on this forum. I suspect that since you have experienced SP before it shouldn't be all that scary and you will figure out the visualization process as it happens. Just go with the flow.

If you are not naturally a calm person the mantras are likely the best tool you have for staying calm.

Just remember that nothing can harm you.

Thank you! I guess I'll have to use mantras then, cause I'm not a calm person haha.

My alarm didn't wake me up last night, so I'll be trying WILD tonight.
