Thread: Could Lucidity Be Connected With Sleep Position?

I usually find that sleeping on my back with a extra pillow works well, the slight incline does seem to improve awareness. But i think as long as you are steady and comfortable things should be fine.

That's interesting. A similar approach is used by Tibetan Buddhist Monks, and they use the slighlty reclined posture for their 4th cycle of the night (final 2 hrs). They say the same: it's great for increased awareness during this phase.
During the other phases they actually sleep on their right side though as they say it helps with 'energy channels'. Taoist dream masters do the same.

Hmmm...this bears investigating (for all the reasons stated) and is easy enough to test. I like it!
