What I keep wondering is, are lucid dreams truly tiring? I wish there was some sort of research on this. Because whenever I talk about lucid dreaming to people, they say all they want to do when they sleep is black out, they are tired and want to regenerate their energy. And I don't know what to say to that. I wish I could refer to a scientific article and say, yes, you're right, don't lucid dreams on nights you're tired or, you know what, it's the same to lucid dream than to non lucid dream energy wise.

And if people do say it tires them out, I wonder if it's the preparation and inducing techniques that are tiring or the lucid dream itself.
