I'm currently attempting the Cycle Adjustment Technique to induce lucid dreams. For the past week, I've been going to bed at 10:00 PM and waking up at 5:00 AM to do reality checks every 2-5 minutes. I've generally stuck to these times, but have had some problems on a couple of days.

On day 2, I woke up at the set waking time and performed the reality checks; however, I accidentally fell asleep in the afternoon for two hours! So that night, I ended up falling asleep at about eleven o'clock, thirty minutes late, and waking up for a while at 3:30. Fortunately, I eventually fell back asleep and woke myself up at five o'clock to do the reality checks, as normal.

On day 5, I had a lucid dream by simply stopping to question my surroundings and do a reality check, which woke me up at 4:40, twenty minutes early.

And finally this morning, I was sleeping in a tent with my parents so when I woke up I couldn't turn any lights on or get out of bed, or I would have woken them up (they don't know I'm trying to lucid dream). So I lay in bed and did the reality checks, but I was really sleepy. I closed my eyes and saw hypnagogia constantly, struggling to stay awake. And I fell asleep just after the ninety minutes!

Now I'm week 2, finished the initial cycle adjustment stage and ready to alternate between my early and normal waking time.

Will my CAT attempt be damaged by aforementioned events, or is it still likely to induce lucid dreams?
