I was reading the home page and it said to wake up multiple times at night to get better recall. If you're getting up and doing stuff 2 or 3 times every night, do you ever feel rested at all? I'd be totally willing to get up but I'm not sure if it'll interfere with the rest of my day.
trying it for a day wont hurt u know ;)
and you wont feel any tired , i mean ull feel a lot more energetic and happy when you start recalling dreams specially if it was a lucid one :D
It is suggested to get up after 90 minute cycles, because one sleep cycle is 90 minutes, and each sleep cycle has one dream. Waking up after each cycle increases the chances of remembering each dream. You do not need to do this; just try to remember 1 dream per day. The only time I would wake up in the night is for a WBTB WILD (or whichever technique you would use to induce LD).
Yeah, I still feel rested, so just try it out!
I wake up several times a night, and usually can remember at least something from multiple dreams. I don't have many problems with feeling un-rested.
When I'm practising with good motivation, I wake up up to 5 times per night to write my dreams down. You feel as refreshed as always. it doesn't effect your sleep.
I used to wake up two or three times, but for the past few months I've only been waking up once. I find my recall is worse when I only wake up once, though (dreams are more grouped together that way which makes them harder to remember), so I'm going to start setting an alarm to wake up twice. As long as you still get enough sleep, there shouldn't be much of a problem. I find that if my lights are off while I'm doing stuff, like journaling or walking around the house to get a glass of water for a WBTB, I'm less tired. It's probably because lights signal your body to wake up, which makes it harder to fall back asleep.
i wake up now about 3 times a nighty simply by drinking water, and lots of it, around 12 oclock at night, and let me tell you it will help you dream recall beyond beleif, i dotn know if one can have a natural talent for recalling drems but i would be dissapointed, after doing this technique, not to recall 5 dreams at least, last night i recalled 10, last july 17!!! or maybe it wass more like 10 and i mixed bits up, but seriouly, getting up intermittently is simply essential to great dream recall!!
I wake up around 1-2 times every night. I would wake up more, but my huge concern is that I'm setting an alarm that will steal me time from a lucid. I look at that possibility with terror :panic:
