      As often as you remember, but try for every hour.

      If you do it more often than that you may just end up generating obsessive tension that would actually be detrimental to LDing.

      Every 10 to 15 minutes is just stupid. If you did every RC properly (taking 30-60 seconds on each one) you'll burn out by the end of the first day.

      I agree with JadeGreen that the quality of awareness is what matters more.

      You can't just glance at your watch every 15 minutes, you have to stop and really observe your surroundings and state of mind, otherwise you're not training self-awareness (which is actually why we RC during the day).

      This is the best DILD guide, check it out to find out more about using RCs for self-awareness: http://www.dreamviews.com/wiki/Puffins-DILD-Guide
