Thread: The least number of waking hours whilst still having lucid dreams

I still got a lot of WILDs when I was well into uberman sleep
The only problem I have is that my WILDs aren't very vivid or deep

My old post from back in the day.

From my experience (I have a crazy sleep schedule I know it's everywhere) here is what I have found.

Duration of Sleep: (Note that I have achieved Lucidity with all hours of sleep)

1 hours: Wake up tired, feel like I didn't get enough rest, easy to get going.
2 hours: Wake up tired, feel like I didn't get enough rest, easy to get going.
3 hours: Wake up feeling ok, feel a bit refreshed, easy to get going.
4 hours: Wake up feeling ok, feel a bit refreshed, a lil' hard to get going.
5 hours: Wake up felling sleepy, feel a bit refreshed, hard to get going.
6 hours: Wake up feeling sleepy, feel refreshed, once awake good to go.
7 hours: Wake up feeling good, feel refreshed, easier to get going.
8 hours: Wake up feeling good, feel refreshed, easy to get going.
9 hours: Wake up feeling well rested, very refreshed, easy to get going.
10 hours: Wake up very rested, very refreshed, a little groggy.
11 hours: Wake up very rested, very refreshed, a little groggy.
12 hours: Wake up very rested, very refreshed, a little groggy.
13 hours: Wake up very rested, very refreshed, somewhat groggy.
14 hours: Wake up very rested, very refreshed, somewhat groggy.
15 hours: Wake up very rested, very refreshed, easy to get going.
16 hours: Wake up very rested, very refreshed, easy to get going.
17 hours: Wake up Extremely Rested/Refreshed, easy to get going.
18 hours: Wake up Extremely Rested/Refreshed, easy to get going.

So from this it seems to have some lapses as in to little sleep feels like you havn't slept at all. Insufficient sleep not to little, but not enough feels just like that didn't get enough sleep. Recommended sleep leaves you feeling pretty good and ready to go. A little bit over the recommended leaves you feeling well rested, but you could go for some more sleep possibly. A lot of sleep leaves you well rested, but you might wake up and be slow moving. And a lot a lot of sleep leaves you well rested and ready to go for a while.

Now lets say sleep for 8 hours I will also you give you my experiences upon when I fell asleep and the quality of sleep I got.

Time Falling Asleep:

12:00 AM: Pretty easy to go sleep, but wake up tired.
2:00 AM: Pretty easy to go to sleep, not as tired.
4:00 AM: Very easy to sleep, not tired when waking up.
6:00 AM: Very easy to sleep, not tired when waking up.
8:00 AM: Very Very easy to sleep, not tired when waking up.
10:00 AM: Kind of easy to sleep, somewhat tired when waking up.
12:00 AM: Kind of easy to sleep, somewhat tired when waking up.
2:00 PM: Easy to sleep, not tired when waking up.
4:00 PM: Easy to sleep, not tired when waking up.
6:00 PM: Easy to sleep, not tired when waking up.
8:00 PM: Kind of easy to sleep, somewhat tired when waking up.
10:00 PM: Kind of easy to sleep, somewhat tired when waking up.

Now their are many factors that play into the time that you fall asleep. These are Room Lighting, Duration Of Sleep, and Random Factors that play in, as well as activities performed during the day. If your room is dark you will have a easier time getting to bed, but if it is light then it will probably be harder. If you played a sport or did an strenuous activity you will get a better rest. So as you can see this is not a very good way to bring up an argument as when you go to sleep and the kind of sleep you get to many factors play a part.

I myself have quite a reversed sleep pattern and I have a cover over my window so it usually dark in my room. I go to sleep from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM, and I usually wake up around 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM. And from this I usually have 3-4 dreams which 2/3 or 3/4 of them are lucid.

These are just my own personal experiences and I know that everyone is different I am just giving what I have experiences. Also the amount of time one has spent awake affects sleep as well. The longer you are awake obviously the better you will sleep.

Does that much sleep really help though? Your higher ours I'd assume would make you tired since I noticed anything more than a few hours over 7-8 I start to feel overslept and bad in a way.
