One factor is that I did a very early WBTB. For whatever reason, this is just when I naturally woke up. It's sort of hard to predict since I rely purely on natural awakenings.
Raising the caffeine levels slightly might help but I would hate for you to suffer insomnia on a G night. However, I do find that if I wake after an hour of ingesting caffeine, I am not usually awake more than an hour. So It seems, for me anyway, that there is an hour window for the caffeine to kick in and hopefully get lucid then an hour wait to try and pull off a WILD.
As you know, I use an alarm but the few times I have had a natural WBTB have been the most pleasant so I understand going with the early one. But, I have found that the longer I wait for WBTB the better results I have. 5 hours seem better than 4 hours (I think I even did a 6hour wait before) but there is always the problem of my son waking me up too early or having to get up at certain time for work. That's also why I use the alarm but that's not always fool proof. Like last night I was too tired so I thought I hit the snooze but I woke naturally 30min later. I'm looking forward to see how you wake naturally in the podcast by the way!
