Only the first one should be a jarring awakening, your mind should expect the next one so it shouldn't increase your heart rate.

I tried this and didn't get lucid tho I did have a really cool, vivid and easily recallable dream later on that morning.

I didn't find it hard to go back to sleep after the alarms went off but I think I had a lot of FAs.. wondering how many times the alarms had gone off or what alarm this one was of the 4.. it seemed like they kept going off.

One thing I will definately do the next time I try this is to reality check after every alarm!

But still, I don't think I could manage to get back to sleep within 40 min, let alone 16, so the alarms might just prevent me from dozing off again. I guess I could use a softer alarm, like just a vibration. Also then my dorm-neighbors probably won't hate me . Like I said, I'll give it a try and experiment til I find something that works
