Trust me, maintaining lucidity through every phase of sleep can be exhausting
Sivason, i donīt have much personal experience and surely no authority, but these are my thoughts on this, which are still in a very young and maturative stage, so i am not claiming anything, and my mind is hopefully open.


I often think that if i doze off during a good massage i lose many interesting relaxing sensations, but if i keep a thin thread of awareness, i might actually enjoy it much more.

Sivason, i have also heard other people say it is the most relaxing state you can get. For instance, when i close my eyes in a lucid dream, it often blacks out and i am left with a sensation of atonia and relaxation ( Alan Wallace says this is the easiest technique to go into dreamless sleep ).

Another recent source attesting the replenishing effect of midfulness of sleep, and rejecting the idea that it is unpleasant, is Charlie Morley in this interview ( sadly i donīt remember the exact time, but it is an interesting interview if you wanna check out )

Finally, is this the same thing as yoga nidra ? is this the same as clear light sleep ? Isnīt it supposed to be relaxing most of the time?

Interested to see your thoughts and everyone else.
