I have had a couple of random LDs during the night, but most of my LDs are induced during 1-2 hour naps just after work.
When i decide to have a LD, i use my time at work to look forward to the nap i am going to have when i get home, and the lucid dream that follows. Experience tells me this helps greatly in becoming lucid since the "daytime residue" that often occurs in dreams reminds you of the day you spent wanting to have a LD. Atleast, that's how it works for me.
When i get home, i initially start out doing WILD, if i get to the "entry sensations" 2 times without succeding, i roll over and sleep normally. Most times i then become lucid by a mixture of hightened awareness from my WILD attempt and daytime residue somehow reminding me of lucid dreaming and then triggering lucidity.
I recently returned to lucid dreaming and i have discovered that my success using this method has decreased dramatically, but this is likely due to my lack of dream journaling and general dream awareness which i will have to practice again. ^^
