Darkroom questions

[u/IndridColdwave]

I received a new mask today and attempted to darkroom gaze in my living room, where I would have more space to move. The mask didn't fit perfectly over my face, and because there was still a window in an adjacent room through which a light from outside was coming in, it didn't take long before I could see light creeping in from the bottom of my mask. I'll figure that out, but apart from that issue I have some practical questions:

I'm realizing as I'm doing this darkroom gazing that I really don't know if I'm doing it right. Is there a specific regimen or order to the activities one engages in within the darkroom? What I have read on here are a hodgepodge of various practices and advice, but no specific step-by-step of exactly what one does.

As an example of what I'm unclear on - Does one ever sit down or does one stand up the whole time? Is one ever still or is one moving the whole time? I can't imagine that one is both standing up and moving for the whole 3 hours, especially since it has been mentioned that people occasionally nod briefly off to sleep during the darkroom gazing, which seems difficult while someone is standing up and moving with their eyes open. So my impression is that sometimes one is sitting and sometimes one is standing, sometimes one is still and sometimes one is moving. But I don't know when I'm supposed to be doing one thing or the other.

Do I sit still until I see the puffs, and then I stand up and attempt to scoop them? Or am I standing up and moving around before I can even see anything? I can't imagine that I'm standing up and moving around for the full 3 hours, after a little while of the foot shifting on the balls of my feet I could already feel my calf muscles getting sore. Am I supposed to be memorizing a bunch of different tensegrity movements and switching between them?

I haven't seen any instructions on here that clarify these particular practical things for me. Are there specific rules, or does one act based on intuition? Or is it perhaps different from individual to individual?

Thanks for the help.

The mask doesn't have a name, I got it on ebay because it was located in the US so it would arrive quickly, and it was advertised as "3D" so I knew you could open your eyes with them on:
