Dream Recall, knowledge of sleep cycles
I've just started to improve my dream recall and I have a question for some before I start about a method to see if it's worth doing. I've read up on sleep cycles as I'm trying to learn everything I can around the subject.
We know a sleep cycle is roughly 90 minutes long and REM occurs at the end of this cycle, so based on that information and how long you may sleep for during that night, you can work out how many dreams of rem stages you have during that night.
My question is if it's worth waking after each REM stage to recall the dream in that particular REM phase. This would create a very disruptive sleeping pattern which is why I'm asking this.
