Great question here, your not alone. Falling asleep quickly and resting well is a good thing. I would suggest going to bed even one hour earlier and dedicating the early morning hours to your astral projection from a well-rested state. There’s a common misconception that we learn lucid astral projection from our sleeping states. When in fact, we stand a much better chance of learning to leave our body if we start from a relaxed waking state and then train the body to move down into a deep focused trance. The boarder land of Theta is where we accomplish the separation, but we want to get here from a waking state, rather than trying to come up from a sleep state.
Meaning that, lying in bed at night is not the best time to actually achieve a lucid astral projection. Early mornings from a rested state are prime times.

How are your other spiritual practices developing and are you still involved with the Theosophical Society? Please share, it’s been some time since we spoke.

Buenas dias Joseph,

and sorry for letting you wait so long for a reply.

Your suggestion is really good and makes sense to me too, so will try that. Is there a particular technique you would recommend for the morning?
I am so out of this kind of work, I hardly remember anything other than relaxing and then trying to get the body to vibrate and having a certain place
in mind where I want to go. I need to find the time to read up on things here, guess there are enough techniques and ways and means one can
practice.
Apart from that, yes I am still a member of the Emin Way (a philosophical not theosophical society) and the only regular practice I do at the moment is
going to the beach and doing what we call 'Electrobics', which in simple terms is cleaning your aura from electrical pollution.

So will now take some time and explore this website and am pretty sure will come back soon with some questions.

All the best to you and everyone else on this board, Richard

Buenos Díaz Richard,
Thank you for the feedback. I'm in the states and enjoying the day in the south west today.
To get right to it, within your early morning sessions, begin with some light stretches and segue into a 15 to 20 minute meditation. From here, use one of the three AP training session videos found on this site under the AP training menue. Work with these 30 minute sessions for a few weeks and then share your progress. We can move on after this. These sessions are quite effective as trainers and have produced results for many.

I'm glad to hear your soon well in the states am happily married. It's a beautiful existence we are given here indeed.
A beautiful hand happy new year to you dear friend,

Joseph

Here's the direct link to the training sessions. You can work with these from a lotus meditation, reclined chair or a full savasana. No matter which posture you choose, the trick here is to remain more awake than asleep.

Nice to see this question and advice! Very helpful for me. I too have had this problem many times. Its like im waking up before i even realized I fell asleep. How much did i miss?? lol
But great advice here. Im working with the Astral Projection training vídeos here and getting some awesome results.

Just wanted to say that Ive been sleeping much earlier and the morning out of body activity has picked up nicely. Its hard to actually go to bed sometimes at night because we need to do so much in the day. One thing that they mention in the L*B*T astral projection mastery curriculum is to set an alarm at night to let you know its time to go to bed. I found by doing this, my sleep is restful, and when it comes time for morning spiritual work, my astral body is ready to step out and fly. It really works!!
