I do as well. Or sometimes longer . Hey it's my Summer holiday

That's true I suppose. This method wouldn't work too well during the school year, eh?

It didn't work for me

Probabaly because I took a 5 hr nap yesterday and forced myself to go to bed when I wasn't tired, though I DID wake up after 6 hrs like I told myself to.

Had a hard time trying to get back to sleep. Going to try again tonight.

Yeah there's no doubt that the nap you took threw you off. That's why I try to steer clear of naps even when Im tired; I hate it when I fall asleep during the day b/c I know that Im going to be up all night!!! lol

Yea me too, hahaha.

I do! Every single night (pretty much). I'd do more, but my job keeps interfering. (No, not depressed or anything--just need lots of sleep and feel great when I get it.)

I meant to try this technique last night--read about it yesterday--but the only time I was aware I was awake during the night was pretty close to the time I get up in the morning, and I was too awake.

I'm gonna try. I'm not that great with this kind of stuff, but it won't hurt and seems easy enough.

Me again. Meant to do this last night, but same problem: I wake up immediately, fully awake, and then I either a) toss and turn wide awake for hours; or b) fall asleep again before I know it. (I go to sleep at 9, and have alarms set for 1:30, 3, and 4:30 a.m.) I'll keep experimenting. One dream I had last night was loaded with dreamsigns and state testing (I kinda prefer "state testing" to "reality testing," since dreams aren't unreal; they're just another type of reality). Anyway, I noticed something definitely amiss and inquired of a DC (my treacherous sister!), who said, "Oh, that's just such-and-such," which I took at face value. However, two minutes later in the dream I told her, "You know, if I hadn't been so credulous, I would actually have realized at that point that I was dreaming," but STILL didn't realize I was dreaming. :-)
