Exactly. Everyone's different and if something works for you, then just keep doing it. Just don't switch around your reality checks and techniques too much. Try to stick with one for a while and see if it gets you any results.

Though it sounds like you have everything under control, and you are making progress every night. Good luck! I'm sure you'll have your first lucid dream soon.

I think it's because you get so used to relying on it that somehow it just stops working on you [that's the best I can explain it but you have to admit, people's biological clocks are pretty accurate so maybe that's what dream time begins to base it on instead of random times?
It's true that sometimes clocks in dreams behave exactly like they do in real life. I usually have a good sense of the flow of time, so clocks behave normally for me in dreams for the most part. But this technique can work very well for some.
