Thread: Is it possible to lucid dream with such a horrible sleep schedule?

I spend lots of time on the computer and I force myself to stay up until about midnight. Maybe a half-hour earlier. Sometimes I'll take a nap as soon as I come home but then I'll stay up all night. You could say I'm not the best with time management.

Uh, why are you on the internet so often? Do you want more sleep? It sounds like you're staying up intentionally, and if that's the case, you're going to have to make a choice.

Of course, I may be rushing. Your body may have adapted to a six-hour schedule. But I have my doubts; such a thing is rare. To be sure, try getting your recall up with your existing schedule. Set a soft alarm (a quieter alarm, or a vibrating alarm) to wake you up at 5:25, and dedicate the first five minutes of waking to recalling your last dream.

I'll try. I'm probably going to have to end up buying a watch specifically for alarm though. I don't have anything I can use for a vibrating alarm.

Cell phone, perhaps?

You could also try for lucidity through the lucid-nap route. Of course, the key to success here is to be consistent.
