What time do you guys usually go to bed? Does it make more sense to talk about target REM periods as X+4.5, where X is bedtime and 4.5 is 4 hours and 30 minutes after falling asleep? Because 4:30 is just meaningless to me :(

That's about right. Somewhere between 4.5 and 5 hours of sleep.
It doesn't seem to matter when I go to bed, somehow I'm always in REM at 4:30 :?
Ok, so I've gone through most of the post. It doesn't seem like anybody's getting any success from this.
i will give it a try when i can. :) I usually fall asleep at around 5:00 in the morning though, so i dont know how it will work out.
I did get very tired during the 3rd or 4th awakening, but I worked too much the night before and was simply too tired to attempt a WILD.Quote:

A little confused... The audio file, how long does it take before the initial alarm goes off after you start the file?
Yeah see that's what was confusing the hell out of me too, :?Quote:

But it definitely sounds like a promising technique.. I'd download the audio file if it wasn't for FileFactory telling me it's server is full and to f*ck off. How annoying.
I'm going to start a full scale study when the new research forum is built. Full scientific results will go there.
The first alarm is about 5 seconds into the audio file. I did that because some alarm systems have to switch the sound system on, which takes a second.
Had a lucid dream during the technique last night and another one a few hours later.
Dangit, Ninja, I still can't download the file for this!!! :damnit:
I sent it to your email. :)
Ooooooooooooooooohh.....
That would explain a lot of things. :oops:
EDIT: What day did you send it?
EDIT 2: Nevermind, I found it. :)
EDIT 3: GAH!! It STILL won't play. :damnit:
WMP won't play it, download iTunes from apple.
Humm , Sounds very interesting. I will gave it a try in about 2 weeks during my school break( it will last for 2 weeks).
Is there any way to put the computer in some kind of stand by mode but still allow the audio to be played? I've never comfortable with leaving my computer on 24/7...
Yes, alarm clocks should be able to wake your computer up from standby mode.

The official experiment will begin tomorrow and the thread for it is here.
