One reason might be because after several hours (and cycles) of sleep, you enter REM stage more quickly, and for longer periods. Part of the idea for the WBTB/DILD (and MILD), is that you'll be closer in time and to that period of consciousness where you were focused on becoming lucid - i.e. the time from when you fall asleep until you enter dream state is much shorter than after you initially go to bed that evening.

Of course, that doesn't mean it wouldn't suck to have your alarm for WBTB go off while you were already in the middle of a DILD.
