Actually Avian, my hours are pretty similar to yours. I'll share what I've adapted to. What I've noticed is that I tend to get lucid more often on workdays. I'm even lucid a more frequently during the year than during my break in the summer. Hopefully some of these practices may fit well into your schedule! :
-I voice record all dreams during all of my micro-awakenings, trying to get as much jam packed into it.
-I do a 10 min WBTB with SSILD which is very time efficient for me, and gives me a lot more lucidity
-I get up at 6:10 or 6:20 and *immediately nose-plug RC every time I'm transition out of bed. I go right to jump in a cold shower
(see sivason's Dream Yoga Course: Immunity to Shock & Energy Flow Simulation). I do 7 mins of yoga balance poses with my eyes closed (building vestbular sense & field independence). I focus a lot on 'Illusory Form' throughout my whole morning routine.
- I discuss my dreams and lucids with my fiance during breakfast. I eat most of my calories for breakfast and smaller meal for lunch and notice I don't need as much deep sleep. I make sure I'm getting a lot of B vitamins, choline, and overall healthy diet).
-I listen to all my dream recordings as soon as I start driving, then switch to any LDing podcasts/audio I'm into. Get to work and really practice awareness and scrutinizing everything as I enter. I practice awareness and Illusory Form throughout the day, and do many 'clock' rcs, as well as hand RCs, and noseplugs during anything 'weird' or anytime I enter a bathroom.
-LDing audio on car ride home
- DJ every night, Dream Yoga meditations every night with emphasis on vippasana or mindfulness meditations. Some time browsing DVs usually and occasionally sublims in the background.
- I do a 10 min visual/tactile/mantra incubation meditation right before bed with a lot of positive emotion for LDing. I also do along with a LD goals journal and gratitutde journal in which I always make sure to incorporate things about LDing.
At this point, I feel like most of this doesn't really take much additional effort during my day, aside from the Dream Yoga exercises and sometimes a lot of DJing.
