You can try but it would almost be a waste of your time.

REM sleep is when your most vivid dreams occur. Your first REM stage will occur in roughly 90 minutes. And even then, it only lasts for about 10 minutes. If you wait till later in the night (a good time is 4-6 hours after sleep) it will be easier to become lucid. In addition to that, REM stage will last about 5 times longer then your first REM.
