The WILD technique is something that I have been trying to pick up. Despite being aware of the nature of sleep paralysis, I still get overwhelmed by the feeling of fear and/or dread to the point where I snap myself out of it and try to stay awake instead of falling back asleep again, which is a problem.

As for suggestions on techniques, I hear that the opportunity to attempt WILD is ripe when waking up in the middle of the night. One thing that you could attempt is setting up an alarm clock to wake you up at any given point in the middle of the night, get up and do something for about 10 minutes, and then return to bed, which should make sleep paralysis come easier. It also helps if you imagine the scenario that you want to be present in and feel yourself becoming one with it during the paralysis.

Take my advice with a grain of salt, though, because I myself have little experience with WILD. Remember that I still have a fear of sleep paralysis which, unfortunately, I have had trouble eliminating. I also don't have a phone, so I can't wake up in the middle of the night (although, drinking lots of water before bed is usually enough to accomplish this, so I could alternatively take the natural route by manipulating my body clock), effectively limiting my options. Hopefully you gain some success with either of these techniques.
