The secret to learning CW is "conditioned response", just like Pavlov's
dogs. The mistake being made here is that you are remembering previous
letters, and letting yourself go to sleep. If you continue to remember
previous letters received, you'll make all sorts of mistakes. If you
hear "thes", think "these", and the word is really "thesis", you'll miss
it for sure.
What you should be doing is training your hand to write "E" whenever you
hear "dit", without your brain getting in the way. There should be no
memory of previous letters being received. Yes, it's tougher than it
sounds.
Only after you've learned all the letters does the objective change to
reducing the time between the sound and writing the character.
