I used to have a big issue with this as well. My best advice is to try not to think about it, try not to worry about what time it is, whether you'll fall asleep etc.

Just treat the whole thing as an experience. Observe as passively as you can, stay relaxed, and focus on something like calm backward counting. Keep your mind on a slow, relaxed pace. It may still take some time, but if you don't let this worry you, you should hopefully be fine.

Good luck!

Thanks for the information! I have still been trying it off and on during the work week. I think it keeps me up a little more on those nights since I have to be up a decent time. I have been less stressed about it. Laying there relaxing and thinking about dreaming. I realized that even if I don't have lucids I have some pretty kick ass and crazy dreams. I still get surprised when I wake up thinking I hadn't slept and then remember that I just had a dream. Its pretty strange. I enjoy it though. 2mg does it for me though for sure.

Another Lucid last night but again just a short one. Once I gained lucidity I came out. Still forgot to stabilize. I am going to lay off sleepy meds during the week. I may do a 5htp and G with C but no melatonin and valerian. I think I need to work on a different WBTB routine that really gets me in the mind set. I need to really set the goals.
