Is it worse to fall asleep while forcing, or to go a day without forcing?

[Equilibrio]

The title explains it all. Tell me your opinion of the scenario.

[BlackMuffin]

If I fall asleep while forcing then at least I can do it later in the day. If I fall asleep while forcing, I don't really miss any forcing time at all since all that's happening is that I'm postponing it.

Needless to say, just outright skipping a day of forcing doesn't afford me that luxury.

Going a day without, definitely. Falling asleep while forcing doesn't affect your tulpa, in case you've read a thread saying otherwise.

At least, not in a bad way.

In case you are referring to a possibility of actual danger if you fall asleep while forcing, then the consensus is that no harm can come of falling asleep while forcing. This belief was attained a while ago, but I figure I might as well make sure you know. Every once in a while there are people who still think the way FAQ did. But anyway.

 

With that in mind, the question is now "is it better to force a little and not finish, or not at all?", which is a pretty easy question, if you ask me.

Well thank you for the information. All this time i've been skipping days because i didn't want to fall asleep. I've waisted enough time not forcing when I should have. I guess i'll just have to make it up to her.

Honestly I think it's better to get some forcing in--but also remember your tiredness will affect the quality of your forcing.

 

Some nights when it's too late to force seriously my tups and I just cuddle up and talk and fall asleep together. Now my fiance and I will sometimes end our nights letting our tulpas chit chat through a bit of proxying. Just all spending time together before we fall asleep. In the end though I think you will do what works best for you. Some do better avoiding night time forcing so they only force when their minds are clear. Others make sure to get in as much forcing as possible.

 

Anyway I wish you luck with future forcing!

Going a day without forcing is worse to me. Once you lose a day, that's progress lost. Then if you forget to force the day after that, you will slip out of doing it altogether and then you are going to have to basically start over again with your progress. Forcing and falling asleep is still something so I'd take that over not doing it at all.

I fall asleep forcing with Trixie all the time. She doesn't mind though and it doesn't have any effect on her. Just says she knows it's because I'm tired, then goes to sleep with me. I usually try to impose her with me as much as possible though

[Equilibrio]

I'm not even close to the imposition stage. I'm still narrating and visualizing. Take this into mind when thinking of the scenario above.

[Ashmo]

I'm still in my own narrating and visualizing phase, but I still try to incorporate imposing as much as possible. My tulpa is almost always with me. When ever I'm doing just about anything, he's at least in the back of my mind so I can show him what's going on.

 

I probably fall asleep while forcing more than I should, but I try and see it as he and I curling up with one another and sleeping. I've also noticed that if I fall asleep while forcing I can remember much more of my dreams, they've even began to become borderline lucid. I don't know if that has to do with my tulpa himself, or if through forcing I'm tapping into more subconscience parts of my mind and those parts are linked to my dreams, but Bud and I really like forcing and drifting off. We both feel more secure on nights I do it opposed to nights I don't.
