I could be wrong here, but I don't think it's the masturbating that is getting you lucid. I think it's the fact that you woke up, stayed up a bit and then went to sleep or WILD. That's called WBTB - wake-back-to-bed.

It's crucial for a WILD, because it wakes our mind up. Just enough, so it's still sleepy, but not gonna fall asleep immediately into unconscious sleep and will be able to stay awake with you till a dream is ready for you to enter.
