I could sleep though an earthquake...

[cyanidebaby]

I can do WBTB, it's my favourite technique for getting lucidity...I WBTB when I naturally wake up in the night, but for the optimum chance of getting lucid I need to wake up at the best times in my REM cycle BUT alarms don't work because I sleep through anything, once the fire alarm at uni was sounding and it took ages to wake me. Any advice?

Um, when you wake up naturally at night are the best times when your REM cycles have just ended/will start a new so use that lol I personally have slept throug several 5+ quakes and a few 6+ ones, so you aren't alone. So yeah, I would say. Stop trying to mess up your sleep cycle, if you wake up naturally during the night then use those times as you can't get a better chance than those for a WBTB. Why do you say/think the optimum time is reached through alarms? Alarms are nothing more than a way to try and catch the cycles ending/starting so if you don't need them thats much better.
