I've been wondering what time of day is best for acheiving Lucid dreams. When you go to bed at night or naps during the afternoon? I get sleepy around 4 and sometimes take naps when I have time and get about 3-4 hours of sleep. I use MILD and still attempting WILD(thanks to lucius help). Anyone? Opinions are welcome.
Oh and if this is in the wrong board then I apologize. I wasnt sure where to put it so I stuck it in here.
I've found what works the best for me is to keep a regular schedule. In bed around 10-11pm.
Up for a call of nature around 3am. Affirmation and intention fo have an LD.
Then 3-6 for dreaming. Usually will have one around 4 or 5.
The key is in getting in the most REM you can, but I'm stating what you already know! :)
It seems if I take afternoon naps (rarely happens) I have vivid LDs. Byt I mainly seem to be most lucid about the same as Seeker... from about 2AM to 5AM.
i have read, and it is true for me, that afternoon naps work really well.
Yup Im with Tim on the afternoon naps most of the time I take an afternoon nap Im Lucid, more so than my regular night schedule.
SLEEP IN SATURDAY MORNIN BABY! oh yeah (drum roll please :lol: )
actually what works for me is to go to sleep friday night, wake up saturday mornin at like 7-9 AM, stay up for 15 minutes, and then go back to sleep for a few hours.

yeah that works for me too
I go to bed for 4 or 5 hours, wake up for about 15 minutes and then go to sleep using MILD. I think this works for everyone :)
im not such a good WILD'er. usually i'll wake up and stay up for 15 minutes, and try a WILD, but end up in the dream world, and a couple dreams later i'll gain lucidity.

My early afternoon naps tend to contain vivid and occasionally lucid dreams; if I were to take a nap late in the afternoon or in the evening, it would rarely contain any dream content.
it seems that only in regular night time sleep i have to wait a couple hours for REM to start before i start dreaming. any time other than that, i can go right into a dream.
