most do WBTB or direct trance induction, if some try to do it when going to bed they are tired but not 'dead tired', the technique is to stay up and keep yourself awake by force, till you have this state almost naturally and then lie down to phase ... I'd call it a strategy rather than a tech if you ask me though
I tried this once but then I fell asleep to fast because I could not hold it up
