What do you usually do to have an AP?

Well, answer for this is, I don't use a single technique :)
Whatever technique I use, It works perfect for 5 days to 1 week, after a week that technique will not work for me.
So I will start searching new techniques. Right now I'm using Enraged Master's Devastation technique :)

You started the thread so, even you should mention your technique here ;)

well, i usually lay down flat on my back and close my eyes. them i relax every part of my body by noticing which muscles are tense. I kinda forget about my breathing so it doesnt keep my body awake. my body usually gets half asleep, then either wakes back up (or half of it does) or i get the urge to move. If my body half way wakes up it wont go any further in to sleep, so i just roll over and go to bed. If i get the urge to mov, i just ignore it and dont move because i know sleep paralysis is coming on. I usually wait until sleep paralysis kicks in, but it never does. That is as far as i have gotten in the past year i have been trying...  :-\

Well & good so far, Do it this way.
Just lay down in a comfortable position, concentrate on your breath, count your breath. Try to visualize something or just stare at the blackness behind your eyes.
I hope you have read the Enraged Masters - Devastation Technique :)

Ummmm, look , when you visual something you will keep your mind busy , counting keeps,it busy , there are alot of things to keep your mine busy , but all you need to do is concenerate on one thing so you dont sleep and it will work! , oh one more thing , did you know why you are not achieving it! Because you are failing on last step! Look what you are saying! (( i just roll over and go to bed )) , it means you are on your final step for the paralysis , this is why you move, yes i admit it myself even i fail on ignoring this step sometimes! , but if you dont learn to ignore it then you will never progress :)

The reason i roll over is because my body halfway wakes back up. Then, it takes the same amount of time to get it to fall back asleep

Because you are making wrong progress!
