The only times it works as you suggest it might is when I happen to go to sleep at the particularly right moment when my body is exhausted but my mind is in one of its up cycles, so that I am able to stay aware as my body falls right off to sleep. This is not a reliable method, however unless you are also pretty good at reading your own consciousness cycles and timing everything perfectly. You would be better off exercising vigorously before going to bed in order to induce the same body tired/mind awake effect.

Agreed. Also better for your health.

It does work for most people and the reasoning behind it is REM-rebound.. If you miss out on REM for a day, or 2 days, or even 3 days, you will have very long rem periods, thus, very vivid rem, however, and the biggest downfall of all these intense vivid experiences is that you will be too tired to ever remember them, or most of them at least...
