Help with astral projection. Questions.

[Astralkm8]

Hello, I just recently discovered astral projection and quickly became very interested in it. Just the idea of being able to leave your body sounded taboo to me, yet intriguing. I looked up several methods on how to enter Astral projection and here's what I've came up with recently. I'll tell you what I do every night to try and finally reach it, tell me if i'm doing anything right or wrong.
1. I lay down in a dark room when I'm deciding to go to bed (not necessarily tired at this point.)
2. I find a comfortable position and stay there for as long as possible.
3. while doing so i control my breathing and count backwards from 100 slowly. Inhale...... exhale..... 99 and so on.
4. I start to feel like I am spinning in my room and i get the sensation of your arm or leg falling asleep, but everywhere, and less annoying. It's actually pleasurable.
5. I can't feel my body much at all, it actually feels as if I don't even have a body at this point the tingling may happen once or twice more, and then I either fall asleep or become disappointed that nothing has happened after 30 minutes.

I heard that to astral project you need to enter sleep paralysis first, and I can't even seem to achieve sleep paralysis. Whenever I think I'm in it I try to "roll out" an end up moving my physical body, ruining the whole process. Can anybody help? I'd really appreciate a detailed step by step guide to get there, or even get to sleep paralysis. I'm so eager to try it out, but can't even get close. Also are those tingling sensations I mentioned what I've heard as "vibrations"? 
Am I close? Do I just need to do what I'm doing but longer? Any other techniques? Much appreciated.//
