I've found that I've always had my best lucid dreams on weekends (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night). I can almost never do it during the week, when I'm busy and have plans.
In regard to tiredness, I've found that I can still get lucid when I'm tired, regardless of the number of hours I've slept until that point. However, my dream control, ability to think straight, and ability to recall my goals is very impaired when I'm tired.
One of the biggest things, for me at least, is trying too hard. If I'm actively making an effort to lucid dream, it will never happen to me. I just reality check when I see something strange, and move on. This has been my technique for the past few months, and I've had some pretty good results. Keep in mind, none of this necessarily applies to you.
If I spend some time before I go to sleep looking at this forum, I'll certainly fail that night. Another thing to keep in mind is that trying and failing is disappointing, but unexpected lucids can be a wonderful surprise.
Just my two cents,
Jelly
