Hi! First of all, learning how to Lucid Dream isn't achieved over night. It takes years of dedication and practice to master this fully, but only days or weeks tops if you want to have your first. Relax! Know it might take a while for some people. If you're already riled up after not being able to achieve lucidity your second try then you will most likely lose motivation soon.

What you did is attempt to WILD when going to bed for the night. That's not ideal and if you do succeed in falling asleep, you won't end up in REM which is the part of sleep you dream in. Try the same thing after 6 hours into sleep. Set an alarm, get up and stay awake for a minute or so, then go back to sleep and attempt it again.

I consider myself to be pretty experienced when it comes to dreams, and even I doesn't always recall something when I wake up. This happens to everyone and even the masters can have dryspells.

Go to sleep with the intentions and perhaps repeat that mantra of yours. With only 2-4 hours of sleep you're up for some heavy dreaming tonight, that I guarantee you.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!
