Staying awake consistent nights, thoughts?

**modoro** · 08-01-2012 05:35 AM

So far this is my 2nd day and it's almost 9 pm.
Been thinking, that It's pretty easy, as long as you constantly pay attention to how you feel and make sure to eat and drink water.

I'm thinking about going another night, but I'm making myself try to wild every night.
Last night I was too anchored in HH, this night I'm going to spend another hour cooling down my anchor.
Maybe try to spend a few hours practicing / Meditating so I can get some Nrem sleep.
I'm also splitting this goal with wearing 5 ib weights on my wrists and ankles. and will be intensifying my stretching/exercise .

I was hoping for thoughts on this, and how it may affect my Ld attempts?
mostly I will get your assumptions, from the knowledge you know about sleep and the body rather than your common sense. Common sense does not seem to rule the realm of my mind, only my social mind ;p
and hopefully I can receive feedback on a few of your experiences

Well I stayed awake for 2 nights in a row once, then when I finally slept, I was so tired I ended up sleeping for 17 hours. But during that time i had about 3 dreams. Each of them were exceptionally long. Although I only have one of them written in my dream journal. Really long dream O__o - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

So yeah, I'm pretty sure that staying awake for long periods of time can help have longer dreams when you finally do sleep. The longer the dream, the greater the chance of becoming lucid... Or at least that's how it is for me...

So I guess my the goal is to practice Lding until I get it, and no sleep until then. xD

Altering your sleep schedule can cause you to have varied success. It may prove that you easily become lucid.

Keeping track of your habits (eat, drink, sleep) may help you track your progress and find a combination that works right for you.

Another forum member reported being up for like 3 days/nights but he was using a supplement that prevented him from going to sleep. I recall he reported some odd dreams.
