Currently I also can only LD when I don't work the next day (with one ever exception), and like you if I get up every day
at like 6 I lucid dream only at just after 6 on the weekend, if I got up all week at 5 instead then I LD just after 5.
However I am great at detecting dream exit, I use Melatonin and my (mind's) eye flashes like mad when I exit a dream
I am able to detect nearly 90% of the time, but I have never succeeded in DEILD (or WILD), but once I learn I should
be able to do it quite often (If I ever learn). Usually I am lying there thinking, I'm falling asleep, my dream already gone
from my mind, then I realize I'm actually falling awake, eyes a flashing, I try to hold still, but full paralysis never sets in
I swallow or some such and then give up, next I recall my dream and journal it. Then pop another 10 or 15mg of Melatonin
and try to get back to sleep. (I wouldn't recommend it for females tho) I never get headaches (ever, not since 1990 or so)
and I don't have Melatonin hang over either. But realize that at this dose (30-75mg per night) your sleep will be disrupted
and you will get insomnia. Of course I want the disrupted sleep, how else can I hope to learn to DEILD, I wake after
every dream.
I have only been using the Melatonin for about 1.5 months, but I LD about 1.5 times per weekend.
(I also have been adding things like 5HTP early in the evening long before sleep, and recently 25-75mg of DHEA)
My Melatonin is usually 10Mg half fast acting / half slow release, and another 5Mg fast acting.
Tonight I don't think I'm going to bother with Melatonin until about 2:30-3:00am then take this 15Mg dose per
attempt cycles 3 and 4, I don't expect success tho because it is Tuesday morning, see if I still wake without it
after every cycle and if I have and easier time falling asleep for cycle 3 at least.
The other night I fell asleep right away every time, I think the DHEA might have been helping. If I LD during
the week or manage a DEILD it will be a miracle tho (I also take a fair bit of B-6 both in the Melatonin and
also additionally 100 or 200mg)
