Lding on school nights

[shaftmonkey]

do you guys (who go to school) ld on school nights? im just curious. i mean i havent had many ld's and im trying to get better at lding in general, but if im trying to WILD or wbtb i just find it hard to do it on school nights.

Well, i don't goto school any more. But when im working the next morning and i wake up in the middle of the night i always attempt to go into a LD. A lot of the time i fall back to sleep however. Sometimes it works and i WILD or just have a normal Lucid Dream. If theres a difference? When i first goto bed however, i find it very difficult to LD. Its always best for me to try and LD after i wake up a few hours and have already been dreaming. I'm assuming your having trouble on school nights because your not able to relax well enough. My suggestion, Stop thinking about school. in the middle of the night when i lucid dream, the last think im thinking about is work in the morning... hehe

Well, I'm a senior in highschool and I try to everynight. Just a good ol' DILD. I haven't achieved it yet (I'm new to it) but thats all I try to do. When I leave early (senior privelages) at 1:45, I nap until 3:00, trying to do a nap induced lucid dream. So yeah, I do it because it's a constant schedule. go to sleep at the same time every night, wake up at the same time every morning.

I try to do a WBTB every day, especially school days. I'm a junior in highschool and I find it doesn't interfere with my schedule or anything really. I get to sleep at 11, wake up at 5, get ready for school, and go back to bed a half hour later. I get back up at 6:50 ish. I have yet to DILD or WILD on a WBTB (except for my previous three) but I do try.

I had my first DILD over the summer (woot), then went back to school and didn't have one for weeks. Then I just had my second one...on a weekend (aha!). So... yeah, I think that school interferes by filling your mind with thoughts of school and thereby making you forget to do RC's and stuff. [School]

I have two alarms on my alarm clock and one is set for 4:30 and one is set for 6:30. I get up at 4:30 and attempt any technique as a WBTB. 6:30 gets me up for the day.

I am in college. I've actually found my best LD success rate to be the night AFTER an exam. Must have something to do with stress, sleep schedule being screwy, and all the crap I eat to keep myself up and studying. After an exam I'd go home, take a nap from about 4-7. Then I'd go to sleep from about 1 and wake up at 5 having amazing LDs. Sometimes chaining up to 3. Over the summer I had an 8-12 class, I'd come home exhausted and nap in the afternoon and usually get about 3 LDs there, too.

When I was in school I did, of course I only need about 5 minutes to get a WBTB done.

[shaftmonkey]

thanks. yeah i mean i sleep late. im a junior so like i usually sleep around 11-12 and wake up like 6:30 to get ready. so like i dont have any time, and i've only had like 2 ld's one of which consisted of me being lucid only for a few seconds. So i want to get in to wbtb everyday but it just doesnt really fit with my schedule. w/e ill do weekends.

[drewmandan]

Luckily, most days I'm able to sleep in because of my hours this term, so I'm able to do WBTB without losing sleep.

I go to school. And I try every night.

[lagunagirl]

just go to bed early enough. you'll get the same amount of sleep, just at a different time

[Pastulio_]

I almost always do, unless I'm dead tired and don't want anything to disturb me in the night.

[DarthDallas]

its tough. i have to get up at 5:50 every morning to get a shower and breakfast and when i WILD i usually feel a little more tired in the morning, so usually not

I do LD on school nights, but because the pattern of my LDing is so random, I answered no.

[JET73L]

I do LD sometimes on school nights, but I typically don't WBTB, whtether it's a school night or not, because it always takes me hours to get to sleep, if at all. I do have more success on days class doesn't start until 11, or days I don't have class at all, probably the alarm interferes with recall. But I do lucid on shcool nights, just not WBTB.

[DarthDallas]

JET73L that's pretty cool that u managed to pull off half a MILD. -_-

[JET73L]

Yeah... It was supposed to be if I used multiple strategies resulting in a single dream... Not one of my better ideas, I'll never be able to sort it out.
