I have not experienced tiredness after a WILD, or even after a long chain of DEILDs with FAs. What I may experience is my body being so comfortably relaxed after I wake up, that I don't want to get up from the bed. But thats a pleasant feeling : D |

Occasionally after WILDs I have been subject to a persistent state of mental tiredness and lassitude, which can last for 8 hours or more. |

I've encountered a similar lethargic state or mood many times, Valis, but I've never actually blamed it on the WILD itself, but rather on the quality and length of the LD. |

I would actually expect that a long, ultra-high awareness LD where you're really engaging your mind would be mentally taxing rather than restful. I don't see why it would be any different from extended periods of wakeful concentration... Which is not to say that I don't desire such LDs...I can hardly wait for them in fact! |

Interesting. I find each hypothesis likely, I agree it is a most likely a mix of over mental exertion and mixed up sleep patterns. I am relieved to see at least it is not highly uncommon. I am going to try to time my next WILDs better, make sure I am not sleeping too little or too much. It is pretty uncommon for me as well, but when it does happen it is annoying because it throws my day off, but even then it is a fair trade for a good lucid dream. Thank you all for taking the time to respond and for the insight. |
