Thread: How many hours of sleep does it take for lucidity to take effect for you??

I'm just wondering how you are gauging hours. Number of dreams before or forcing yourself to wake after a lucid, me being a newbie?

Every night, I automatically wake up after 3-5 hours. At this point I'll remember 0-2 dreams which are not lucid. All of the lucids that I have recorded have happened after that first waking (with one exception).

I can LD very little sleep, especially if I'm sleep deprived and my REM phase starts eariler than normal. Often my first dream of the night (if I manage to wake up after it so I can remember it) will be lucid, even if it isn't a REM dream.
