I would say lucid dreaming is somehow similar to lottery. Everything you do for lucid dreaming is like buying another ticket, so the more tickets you buy the more chances you have of wining. |

I have a hard time with my sleeping pattern but I did once have a whole week sleeping at a certain time and waking up at a certain time. But it's been months trying to get a sleeping pattern a few things will happen to me like going to sleep in the afternoon (not intentional) or as it gets to 6-8 at night I will not feel tired anymore. Also on my days off (college) I always turn my alarm off and make a new one for hours later. |

No worries my man, a sleep schedule isn't the only thing to get you lucid. Definitely agree with Bharmo though on WBTB, probably the single most effective technique for me. |

Life is but a dreamm
Bro, a consistent sleeping pattern does so much for you. Not only does it help your recall, but I feel that it improves your overall success with LDing. Whenever I stick to a consistent sleep cycle, I wake up remembering everything, even the first dream of the night and my level of awareness in that dream. On the other hand, when I sleep whenever and give in to my tiredness, my dreams reflect that. I only remember certain dreams during the night and fragments. |

Goals:
-Become Lucid in every dream every night
-Perfect the time dilation watch
-Continue to have a dream plan for most of my lucid dreams
As everyone else has said having a regular sleeping pattern will really help you! Just speaking from my POV it definitely helped me when I changed jobs which had irregular shifts to a 9 to 5 job, I definitely knew the differences and it really has helped me. Since I have alot of experience lucid dreaming I just stick to DILDS since I can have lucid dreams on command now. |

Overall sleep and mental conditions are incredibly important for dreaming and LDing, at least for me. Being well-rested, in a positive and relaxed state of mind, and having a regular sleep schedule can mean the difference between a few poor LDs/month vs. a dozen awesome LDs in a single week. Because this is exactly how it happens for me. |

A regular sleeping pattern definitely helps, but I wouldn't know, I don't have one either. I don't think going to bed at a certain time every day is a big deal though, what matters is getting that full amount of sleep. Regardless of the time of day/night. You wanna hit all those REM periods, after all. |
