Thread: Setting multiple alarms one after another in the mornings = easy lucidity?

Alarm clock extreme works very well. Would highly recommend. I set it around 4 hours after I go to sleep. Have around 5 alarms that will go off increasingly louder for 5 seconds. Then it cuts off. Usually 30 minutes inbetween each alarm. Amazing lucidity. Seriously some of the best lucid dreams I've ever had.

Wow we use the same method almost to the dot (Alarm Clock Xtreme, alarms 3-4 hours after going to sleep, 30min between alarms ). You however use autosnooze which is something I don't but want to use. My phone doesn't seem to get loud enough for the auto snooze to wake me up reliably and what usually happens is I'll sleep right through it. Do you happen to be a light sleeper?

I'm not really a light sleeper, but my phone gets really loud. So the first couple seconds it goes off I don't hear it, but by the end it's almost too loud. I train myself to not move to the sound of it when it wakes me up. Then I just sit there and fall into a dream. So fun to do.

May I ask what type of phone do you have? I have a Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 and while the alarm does get loud, it's just not loud enough to wake me up reliably if I set it to auto snooze itself which is why I have to manually snooze because at times I'll just sleep through the alarm for a few minutes. I plan on buying an external speaker to connect the phone to at night so that the alarm will be louder as it will be coming from two sources, hopefully that will solve the problem.

I've never lucid yet. But i'm practicing dream recall and jounalling. You said 30 minutes in between.. My question is how do you even go back to bed in 30 minutes and i'm guessing that means your sleep periods are small.

I'm having problems seeing how you go back to sleep so quickly. In my cause i do 1:30 , 3:00, 4:30
and everytime i get up and want to go back to bed. it's hard. takes me alot of minutes,.. when i wake up at 1:30 i try and try to go back to bed and at 2:20 i'm still awake. So i usually give up on the 3:00 alarm cause i havent' even succeeded at sleep.


Anyways, you seem to be a pro. How do you go back to sleep so quickly?

I know you were not asking me, but it must be something specific to each person. In my case after hitting snooze I am back asleep within a minute or two. Being able to relax your mind probably helps too.
