Am I Doing The WBTB Technique Wrong

I started doing the WBTB Technique a couple of weeks ago because a lot of people say it's the best Technique. I didn't get much results the first week, but the second I began to have very vivid dreams, but none Lucid. I don't know why, but, here's my theory. I've always had a problem with going to bed. I usually finally go to sleep at around Eleven or Twelve and I set my alarm clock at around Three because I usually intend to go to bed before Eleven or Twelve. But since I keep going to bed at around that time, wake up at Three, and go back to sleep I think I'm getting only half the effect, getting vivid dreams but not Lucid. I don't really know though. What do you guys think?

Better to set your alarm for 5-6 hours after you sleep instead of 3-4 hours. That way you'll be closer to the longer REM cycles.

As for the lucid thing: What other techniques are you doing other than WBTB?

It's important to combine wbtb with another method like mild or wild.

I WBTB quite a few times throughout the night. WBTB is good for increasing how present you are in a dream, dream and your recall, but without some mild or anything it will have little effect. I would recommend having short WBTBs throughout the night and a long one later in the night. Short being about 5 minutes. Long being about 15-20 minutes. If you are behind on sleep, I wouldn't recommend the long one, because getting enough sleep is better than doing well WBTB. Instead of WBTB being something that you try, try making l a form of WBTB that you can do each night.
