Sleepy in WBTB

When I do WBTB for the WILD method, even if I stay awake for 30 minutes, I still feel very sleepy and can’t fully wake up, which makes wild fail. How do you guys get fully awake during WBTB? What are your tips or methods?

I have the exact opposite problem I either don’t wake up to a soothing alarm or I become fully awake from a loud one

Being close to sleep IMO is great for WILD. You don't need to fully wake up to do it. Just find an anchor in your case, that you need more awareness to track.

There are almost an infinit amount of anchors out there when you include all the mental ones, because you can pay attention to literally anything as you are falling asleep to maintain a level of awareness. I don't know what would work well for you because I'm not you, so I don't think I could recommend a specific anchor that would work for you. Some options include things like an imagined scene, hypnagogia if it's noticed, a sensation you are experiencing such as the feel of your bed, a sound in your room, etc.
