I tend to have two good windows. I go to bed around 10:30pm or 11:00pm. If I wake naturally after my first set of dreams around 2:30am, I can normally return to sleep immediately and get some good lucid dreams. This is tricky, since I have to meditate through some NREM stages to reach my next set of dreams.
If I am doing a full WBTB, I will normally wake around 4:00am. I will stay up for 30-45 minutes, and return to sleep before 5:00am for a WILD. This one can be hit or miss. Sometimes I will be in a dream within 5 or 10 minutes of returning to bed. Other times, I will have to wait for an hour or more. I think it depends on my recent sleep habits. My REM cycle from about 4:45am-5:45am is very flexible. Sometimes I will get one long one, other times I will get two before my alarm goes off at 6:30am.
