Thread: Messing up sleep schedule gives LD's?

Cycle Adjustment Technique

sort of, but that's about waking up earlier on some days, while this regards going to bed later.

I think the clue is in the name of that method (cycle adjustment techinque)
You can use CAT to adjust your sleep cycle in any way.

The sleep schedule in the tutorial is the original schedule for the technique, but in reality CAT was designed with the principle of adjusting your sleep cycle for optimal lucid dreaming.

I've read that the author of the technique actively encourages people to experiment with the CAT sleep schedule to fit their lifestyles and to find what works for them. The method as described in the tutorial is a template, to give people an idea of the principles behind the method. A lot of people use the original method, but it's still CAT if you change the schedule to suit your lifestyle.
A cycle adjustment is a cycle adjustment

so any change to your sleep times falls under CAT? Well I guess this is CAT. Thanks for clearing that up.

I have found the opposite in the last couple of weeks.

I used to go to sleep fairly consistantly around 2 AM. I started staying up until 6 AM, until as late as 10 AM, and found my dreams less vivid, and I remembered fewer(this is my only basis though, as I've yet to become lucid)

I have stayed up all night, does this count as CAT?
Is there any other way I can use this to (possibly) achieve lucidity somehow?
