      Night of March 13, 2013
      Dose: 100MG
      Supporting Supplements: none
      Bedtime: 10:00PM
      WBTB wake time: 3:30AM-4:00AM
      Dose Time: 4:00AM
      Technique: SSILD
      Lucid: No

      Well I'm really confused and disappointed. I went without caffeine since Sunday morning. I woke naturally and did a 30min WBTB and took 100MG Caffeine pill. (I forgot to make coffee) I woke up an hour later with zero recall! I had mild wakefulness for a few minutes and woke to the alarm an hour later with zero recall. I am not sure why. I usually have a very vivid dream at the least that first hour and then awesome recall after. Did I just have a weak REM cycle? Was it bad timing? At least I was lucid just before my WBTB.
