Alarm after: 6:15
Brief description: Woke up right out of a VERY vivid dream. Vision was clearer than it is in real life, but I forgot to write anything down and have now forgotten the dream. I felt good since I'd gotten right out of REM, and laid on my back and started counting. After a while I had an urge to shift and shifted onto my side. I didn't hit lucidity though, but also didn't fall asleep even though my thoughts drifted a bit.. I rolled over once more after a while, but nothing happened and I went back to sleep.
Why it failed/succeeded: Not enough patience? I should probably stay on my back for longer before rolling over. Maybe I'm doing something else wrong? It's odd that nothing ever happens. No SP, no HI, nothing...
6:15 seemed like a brilliant time. I guess I take around 10 minutes to fall asleep, and after 6 hours of sleep my best REM period probably kicks in, which I'm awoken in the middle of. At least I can use that knowledge tomorrow. A problem was my lack of tiredness after 6 hours, though.. I just couldn't fall back asleep easily.
