she kept asking non-related things which I can't remember.
After finally asking the question I had wanted to ask, she
answered, "Eating". She said this and nothing more after
that. That's when my phase ended (M.R.: no maintaining and
re-entering), after about 10 minutes of being in it.

My break from the phase was still on, so I decided not to
try indirect techniques. I found myself awake after about 6
hours of sleep but without using an alarm, although I ignored
this and went to sleep again. Then, I had a conscious
awakening and it already felt like I was in the phase. Indeed,
a very strange feeling. I thought, "Well, I should try using a
separation technique". And I did. It worked and I separated.
I was standing in my room, but my body was not in bed,
so I started doubting if I was really in the phase, even though
separation had felt very real. I immediately pinched my nose
and I could breathe in through it. I rubbed my hands and
touched everything around me. Once I felt that my phase had
good quality, I started acting as planned. In the end, it was
very nice phase experience , but I had forgotten to do
maintaining and woke up after about 10 minutes.

The alarm clock on my phone broke (don't ask how that
happened), so lately I've been trying to wake up after 6 hours
of sleep without any kind of device to help me. And I
succeeded today. I woke up, went to the bathroom and went
back to sleep. The thought of conscious awakening was going
through my head as I drifted into a dream. I managed to exit
that dream, and so I woke up without moving (M.R.: no
separation). And then I had to face my biggest difficulty loud noises (my family was up very early preparing to go to
work and they were shouting for no good reason). I decided
not to let this chance slip away and performed observing
images. It worked immediately and there was no need to
perform separation technique. I ended up in the phase.
