Should i stick to my sleep schedule?

[Waitwhat]

So for the past week i have been falling asleep at about 10:20 then i wake up at 3:30 and i use the SSILD technique. It usually takes me till about 3:50 to fall back asleep. So far the technique hasn't been working and i actually have difficulty remembering any dreams at all although i remember the dreams i had before the alarm went off and i have a second dream in between the snooze alarm for my second alarm at 6 o'clock. I used to wake up for school at six but lately i have been so tired i just ht snooze and go back to bed. 7 hours of sleep usually makes me feel alert for the whole day but since i started doing WBTB I've been groggy and tired in the morning and most of the day. Is this my body getting used to the new schedule or should i try a different technique? Will SSILD work with more practice? I guess i am mainly wondering if i stick to this schedule will my body get used to it and will i have more success and be less tired?

I think the problem arises because you are waking up at the wrong time of the cycle. It's good to have a sleep schedule but it has to be timed properly. Since it's obvious that this hasn't worked for you try moving all you waking times up by 30 mins and see how that works out.

Like dutchraptor said, experimenting with sleeping schedule is way to go if you feel like something is wrong with current one, especially for the techniques like WBTB. Also if you are not used to sleeping like that, it might take some time to get used to, but it will work even better once you find good timing. I have no experience with SSILD though, so i'd suggest to wait for more input on that. here's tutorial though: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...eam-ssild.html *Moved to Attaining Lucidity*

I guess I'll start adjusting my timing a little bit and see how that works out. I'm glad to hear that my body will probably adjust to the new schedule over time! I can't wait to get into a good schedule and start lucid dreaming more often!!
