I'm not sure what you mean by "sleep pattern", but I know that I have more dream recall when I get a decent night's sleep, so for me more than just a few hours. I also notice that if I use substances before bed (in my case MJ or alcohol) that my dream recall is significantly weakened, to the point where I can't remember a single detail about a dream. Like last night, I had two beers before bed and although I wasn't drunk I still cant recall my dreams from last night.
Are you a particularly light or heavy sleeper? I have read some research on how those who are more of "light" sleepers have more of a chance of recalling dreams or becoming lucid because they seem to teeter on the edge of awareness while they sleep.
Also, stress is a huge factor, so if you are stressing about life, or even stressing about dreaming, it will affect how well you can recall dreams.
