Hey Hell,

I think part of it may be that you're a bit too anxious to have a lucid. You might be trying too hard to keep yourself awake and WILD.

Another thing might be the hour at which you wake up - is "very early morning" more like 3-4am or 6-7 am to you? For me, anytime around 4am has been ideal. Getting up too close around 8am makes it hard to fall back to sleep because by then my mind and body will have had enough rest to wake up for the day.

Try playing around with the different times you wake up to WBTB.
