Thank you very much for your suggestions Sageous. I have taken all you said into consideration and will be following your advice.

For what it's worth the last few nights I have been extremely tired so have put off the night time practice for a few nights. Last night I had a false awakening on its own without having done any techniques that night.

I dreamed all the plants in my outdoor garden died overnight. When I was examining them I noticed their was some strange auto watering system in place that I had obviously not installed. I realized I must be dreaming and before I could do a RC I snapped awake. I rolled around in bed for about 10 minutes and couldn't get back to sleep. So I got up and decided to go check my garden just out of interest. When I went outside all my plants were dead and that weird watering system was there. I got really confused for a second and then thought "ohhh $%&*$ this is a false awakeni...." and woke up for real before is even finished the thought.
