I'm new to the forum (but not to lucid dreaming), and I was wondering...when you lucid dream, do you lose or gain sleep? What about in states of sleep paralysis (sometimes I can be in a state of sleep paralysis for hours at a time without reaching the lucid dream threshold)? I would like to practice all nights of the week, but if it makes you lose energy I would only want to do it on the weekends or something like that.
