I'm new to LD but have suffered from FA and sleep paralysis in the past.
It was long before being lucid or even knowing about it. I used to have trouble sleeping. I would get up in the middle of the night repeatedly, look at the clock to see how much sleep I was or wasn't getting. I would be exhausted during the day. After months, maybe longer, I noticed the times weren't quite right. I'd wake up at 2:30 am - 3:30 am, then 11:30 pm - 12:30 am, then 1:00 am - 1:30 am. Something was quite wrong. Finally I figured out that I was dreaming about waking up(FA). Since there was no real way to correct it, I got rid of my clocks and stopped looking at the clock when I woke up. After a while I started sleep a little more through the night. I stopped worrying about how much time I had left in the night to sleep and actually got some.
