      Thanks to school, I get to awaken at 5:30 in the morning to make the bus. On the weekends I remember 3 or 4 dreams per night, over the week I remember none. I have found that it takes a rather loud alarm to get me up at five thirty, and the alarm kills my dream recall. However, I think the difficulty in awakening enlies in my sleep rem cycle. I think I am in stage 1 or 2 sleep when the alarm goes off. Last night I set my alarm for 5:00 and had no problems getting up, and felt rather refreshed, I believe I awoke during REM sleep and my alarm killed my dream. My plan is to find out when this last rem period starts. Once I know what time it starts and ends I will get up about 10 min before with my loud alarm, then roll over and go back to bed (WBTB), hopefully cactching a rem period after falling asleep. Then because I will know when the rem stage ends (~5:25) I can set my more humane alarm to go off just before the end of the dream, and my mammoth sized alarm in reserve if I still don't get up. This way I figure I will be able to remember one dream a night and have plenty of time to WBTB/WILD.

      My question for you: Has dazed lost his marbles or is this worth a shot?

      Thanks,
      D&C

      It worked last night, I got up at 4:50 and went back to bed, which got me a dream lasting from when I went to bed until I had to get up at 5:30. I am going to see how long I can extend this rem bubble without dropping into nrem sleep at the beginning or end. Last night I just went to bed after the alarm went off, however, tonight I am going to get up at 4:40 and try to WILD. I am just happy I found a way that I can remember one dream a night.
