      How do you get LDs during the day?

      I'm aware this probably a very stupid question, but what methods are there of LDing during the daytime?

      I've heard napping, which is 100% an impossibility for me, even after an all-nighter, and meditation, which is next to impossible for a guy who can't sit still for more than five minutes.

      If anyone knew what else I could do, I'd really appreciate it.

      If napping is 100% an impossibility for you, then LDs during the day are 100% an impossibility for you. Need to sleep to dream, man.

      I suppose you could work on perfecting your day dreaming: close your eyes and visualize stuff and use your imagination to imagine scenes that you would like to someday reenact in LDs when you are dreaming. How about that? That would not require actually falling asleep.

      The only way i can think of other than naps is to become nocturnal, but i am not sure if that will work out for you...

      Sorry, but if you can't manage a nap, there's no real way to LD during the daytime. You can always prepare for LDs during the day by reality checking and planning your goals, reciting mantras, etc., but as JoannaB said, you have to sleep to dream. Here's what I'd suggest: keep practicing LDing during the day so that you can have them at night, and if you ever do feel tired enough to fall asleep during the daytime, take advantage of that. But don't try to force yourself to sleep during the daytime when you're not tired or you'll just end up wasting your time.
