Times I naturally go to bed and wake up

10:30pm I attempt to sleep. I spend about an hour before that trying to relax.
---- I often wake up every few hours during the night naturally ---
And I wake up at 5:00am.
It seems that I can recall dreams almost every night if I wake up at 5am.

I have never done a reality check before. I am starting now. - I am going to use my tattoo on my hand, which is a set of 3 unique stars.

I am going to seriously question my reality before checking. I want to say in my head.. "hmm, I wonder if I am dreaming. This could be a dream. *looks around* I think I will do a RC!"
"no? not dreaming? Hm, if I was dreaming the tattoo on my hand would be something else, or missing. And its clearly there right now."
