Lucidity early in the night

[DreaminNow]

Has anyone had experiences with lucidity during the early part of the night, that is, NOT after 4 or 5 hours of sleep? I know that we have a short REM period early on, but people don't usually talk about having lucidity then. Last night, I had a lucid experience less than an hour after going to bed. It was brief, and not very stable, but it was definitely lucidity. I had just enough time to do a reality check and to try to get grounded by rubbing my hands together and running my hands over the floor. But then it evaporated. Weird!
