I have to wake up around 7am because I'm taking a summer course to get ahead before I go off to college, so using an alarm is manditory for me right now. Tomorrow is my last day of class for the summer, so I suppose I could hope for more success after that. However, I'll be going off to college toward the end of the month and once school starts back I'll be right back to using an alarm again. If alarms inhibit me from remember my dreams, I don't see any way I'll ever be able to lucid dream.
