So since school has started I have had a pretty inconsistent and crappy sleep pattern. Does this mean I won't be able to LD? Also, I wake up at 6:30 AM and there is NO time for DJing. Is there any method you guys know of that I could use to still at least be able to work on my recall a little bit when getting up at such an early time and so abruptly? I barely make it to the bus stop each morning so anything that I need to do right after getting up won't work. I have a good 20 minutes of bus time though, so I could potentially utilize that if there are any techniques any of you know. |

Writing down keywords to jog your memory later would definitely be a good idea, as Sensei mentioned. |

Sounds like good advice but as for the tags part that won't work. I am within a minute of missing my bus almost every day and the seconds it could take to write those tags could mean missing it. |

Well it doesn't matter how early I get up, because I will always somehow manage to waste the exact amount of time so that I barely get to the bus and eat breakfast. And breakfast is important to me, if I don't eat it I get really grumpy and stupid throughout the day. I could get up 10-20 minutes earlier but then that would just be a waste of good sleeping time. I never wake up during the night so I am hoping to improve that by getting a consistent sleep pattern going. |

If my sleep pattern is messed up, I force WBTB through drinking water, so I would recommend that. I do multiple WBTBs a night through micro WBTBs, since I think that this is more effective, you will have to experiment for yourself. |

Well the problem is my morning schedule is extremely rigid. I need every last minute of sleep I can get, and for me staying mentally healthy is the top priority. I don't think I mentioned this, but I do VERY badly with sleep deprivation. If I go for a week without good sleep, and then stay up late at the end of the week, I will start exhibiting schizophrenia-like signs until I go to sleep. These include huge mood swings, paranoia, altered world-view, etc. It is basically a whole bunch of mental problems compressed into 15min - 1hour cycles. Also I get minor hallucinations when tired, along with decreasing happiness until I reach depression. So, unfortunately, sleep loss is an extremely slippery slope for me, and I can't afford to slip. |

Oh, ya, sorry about that I forgot about the problem with going to bed earlier. Ya, I will give it a shot. One thing I have observed is that how much I care about lucid dreaming usually has a direct correlation with how good I am feeling in life. |
