Sleeping Problems

[maciuncio99]

Im sick of this. Since I started LDing I try to wake up 3 times during the night, and I set an alarm clock. When I do this I have trouble going to sleep, sometimes it would even take me 2 hours. Its not that my mind wonders, its just that I cannot fall asleep like a normal person! And when I do wake up those 2-3 times at night, I have trouble falling asleep then too! TOday it took me an hour to fall back to sleep after waking up at 5am. Now, if I dont set an alarm clock, im usually asleep within 30-40min. PLZ HELP!

Maybe you need a break. Stop setting your alarm and waking up in the middle of the night. Get your body back in a normal cycle.

I think it was here that I read this, that it was a bad thing to disrupt your sleeping patterns. I had the same problem when I began. I stopped thinking about lucid dreaming for about 2 weeks then started again and the day that I began was the night I had my first LD.

I already had my first ld though lol I know for sure I cant wait another 2 weeks!

How am I going to Lucid Dream then?[/b] There is such a thing as spontaneously becoming lucid, you know. I don't use any techniques besides keeping my DJ, and I have DILDs very frequently. Believe me, screwing up your sleeping patterns will not be beneficial in any way. Lucid dreaming is supposed to be fun and supplement your currently dreaming adventures - not keep you up all night and mess with your schedule. Just give yourself a break for a little while and try again in a couple weeks. Sometimes trying too hard can be counterproductive.

[/b] may be the reason you cant go to sleep is because you know you are going to wake up your body isnt letting you sleep , this can happen baecause your expecting it to happen. then your mind will wonder because your body is to tired to take what your trying to do. i would suggest cutting down the times you try and wake up because its clear your bodies rejecting what your trying to do. it may effect your LDing but think about it whats more important?
