Last night I went to bed at 11, layed in bed for at least 15 minutes then fall asleep. I remember 3 dreams then I became lucid and woke up. I checked the clock, it said 12 am. I thought this was odd because I was under the impression that NREM was the fist part of sleep -- that's why you can't WILD first thing at night.

Am I wrong? How long does the first NREM stages take before you hit REM typically? I can't find this in wikipedia.
