Thread: Hours of sleep..

more sleep=more dreams, you are right. I would try for a good 8 hours a night. During the last two or three hours you are almost constantly dreaming.

In addition to the wise words of Seeker if you do get a good nights sleep and you can wake yourself up early. Stay awake for at least a half hour and then go back to sleep. This prooves to be a good method for inducing Lucid dreams aspecially when acompanied with one of the many tecniques you can find in the tutorials.

do you people practice EVERY night? where you wake yourself up after 5-6 hours of sleep.. and stay up for 30 min.. or is there a max number of days you should try it each week.. like.. only 1-2 times a week..

I practice this almost every night when I am getting enough sleep. Maybe not WILD, but I will use a variety of techniques like MILD after my nightly bathroom break. Seems I always have to go at 4 in the morning =P

That is so so true. at least for seeker and I it seems. regularity. It seems as if I too always have a "bathroomroom break". Milds are for me much more proficiant than wilds.

WBTB works really well. I found out that when I sleep longer with WBTB, my chances greatly increase yet its harder to fall back asleep.

works exactly the same with me. ive been doing it the last few nights each night getting longer and clearer dreams last night finally lucid for a little while.

Cool stuff. Im new at this and Ive only had one LD. I been concentrating on recording my dreams but lately Ive been trying to do MILD. So far I havnt yet done the WBTB thing though. So staying up for like half an hour really doeas dramatically increase your chanced of LDing? Does anyone know the scientific reason behind that?

The reccomended amount of sleep here is about nine hours, I think...
