I started trying to have lucid dreams and was successful after about a week. Since then, I am not able to get up. I'll go to sleep, set my alarm clock at a high volume, and still sleep through it. The first night I had about 6 hrs to sleep before my alarm went off. I end up waking 12 hrs later and still tired. The next night, I get 8 hrs of sleep before I have to get up. I wake up about 12hrs later again. What is happening? Why can't I get up anymore? I've been trying to get lucid dreams after my first one, and cant help but keep trying. I dont think I'm making myself tired by trying to "overwork" my brain, but something is definitely happening to me. Its not like I can just quit trying to have lucid dreams because it is somehow a part of me now. I cant quit trying if I wanted to and right now I want to (at least for a time) so I can start waking up like normal again. Has this happened to anyone before?

Thanks,
Ryan
