Thread: How to improve skills during inregular sleeping?

Soon I will go working on ship so my sleeping schedule will become unstable because of more or less random hours of working. My question is what can I do?
Mastering directly any technique may be difficult if not possible. For sure WILD, SSILD and WBTB is very limited, CAT is impossible, so maybe instead of technique I should try to improve side skills like dream memory or general awarness?


My plan is as follow:
- ADA everyday as much as possible
- Meditation 2 times per day (after lunch and before sleeping) 5 days per week
- Describe at least one dreams in DJ and put tags for all remembered dreams per day

Is there something more what can I do? Excluding MILD bc I’m already have long sleep latency and MILD is making this longer

You could try to identify awakenings faster after waking up. After you're good enough at anticipating the awakening where you are able to identify the awakening in under a second after waking up, you can start to build a DEILD practice or you could continue trying to anticipate awakenings better to the point where you are able to anticipate awakenings while you're still dreaming.

You remind me my old experimental "exercise" - Everyday trying to recall the last thought before drift off and first thought after waking up
