Hey Omni,
If your lifestyle has limits, work with them. I guess, there is an ideal of discipline, of practicing LDing every night. But if you feel restrained for sleep, find the right balance.
What kind of sleep schedule do you want to have? If you are not sleeping enough, can you find that time? Otherwise, is there one night or a few nights in the week when you can dedicate more time for sleeping?
If you can have a longer sleep night on Saturday, maybe that can be the dedicated night for using an LDing technique such as WBTB. The other nights can be different, relying on DILDs. Dream Journal, RC, set intentions before sleep.
We often talk about using different techniques for different people. But it's also relevant to choose different techniques for different nights.
What's important I think, is know why you want lucid dreaming to part of your regular experience. What about dreaming? What about sleeping? If all these are things you value, you can feel a sense of success even when you don't lucid dream. It's good to have specific attainable goals. I also encourage having a thematic goal (Sleep/dreaming) so that if you wake up remembering your dreams, if you wake up feeling rested, if you have a day where you look over your dream journal, etc, you can feel aligned with your goal. I say this so you can feel a sense of consistency with the practice even if you are not lucid dreaming every day/week.
