Reality Check Timer

Hey, been a while since I've been up in this janx.

Ok so I programmed a very little app for windows that beeps three times every five minutes, and everytime I hear the beeps I do a reality check. Im hoping that this gets me into the habit of actually checking my reality more often.

I'm going to see tonight if it helped haha, I think its been helping me remember to reality check more when Im afk, but Ive only been walking around the house today so it's hard to test the scope out just yet...

Do you think this will help me at all or should I scrap it and save the little 1 mb of RAM being used to run it? Is a timer defeating the purpose? haha

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    while (true)
    {
        std::cout << "\a\a\a" << std::endl;
        Sleep(300000);
    }
    return 0;
}

Hmm and I see in when I preview this that I have a dreamjournal here... been way too long xD

And it has yet to help me out rofl

IMO, reality checks serve the purpose of leaving the impression that you want to lucid dream in your mind which is an important part in lucid dreaming. So if this purpose is not defeated using an alarm (which I dont it does), then I see no problem with using an alarm beeper. This also helps you to make reality checking a habit.
