I don’t see why it would not work. You are basically just doing WBTB which many people find effective.
As for getting back to sleep:
After you wake up try not to move around too much. Just try a simple breathing meditation. That should help you get relaxed enough to fall back to sleep.
hio u may want to look at the HILD tec… it is a bit like this…
tried the hild…but i couldnt go to sleep tapping fingers.
U dont have to do the finger thing. it is jus a way to stay “a wake”
then what do you do?
When i succed whit the HILD i just lay down and after some sec i did a RC.
how can you perform a RC if you are laying inbed with your eyes closed?
do you open them or something 
Jup i did but u don have to… some people like the nose RC
no…u do a nose test…[hold your nose shut and try and breathe]
late to put this…but after i plug those in to my method…should i still do a RC? or r u saying not to do one…
well, when I fall in a dream via WILD, I dont need a RC 
It may be a good idea to do it after 5 min tho
hehe ok. i hope this works. i havnt had one in forever! i excited.
Why not do a RC just to enjoy the sight/feeling of a positive RC? 
wait…Ev…can u explain exactly what you do 
it would help me. or is what u do the list that u gave me up top.
The list on top was almost the same thing I did before to achieve WILD.
basically every time you wake up in the middle of a dream and fall back asleep you will have a WILD.
Thing here is to become as conscious as you can during short time you are awake and relax completely as you are falling back to sleep…
That’s how I got most of my WILDS. (just dont feel like laying there awake for 30+ minutes)
thx Ev
I suppose you’ve tried both ways? 
nah…his is just more reserched
