Wake-Back-To-Bed Technique (WBTB)

After little success with the Cycle Adjustment Technique (CAT), partly because of my lack of commitment to waking up 90 minutes early everyday to adjust my sleep cycle, I've moved on. I've read that the CAT is an effective way of inducing lucid dreams, however, one must go to sleep everyday at the same time and commit to it, but with school and other things it is hard to do that. Anyways, I'm moving on to a similar technique as the CAT called the Wake-Back-To-Bed. It involves waking up after 6 or so hours of sleep, in order to create awareness in the brain during peak REM cycle sleep. After performing many reality checks during this time to increase alertness, one goes back to sleep after 20-60 minutes. Then visualizing a lucid dream while relaxing and using some form of autosuggestion as you drift back asleep with ensure that one has the greatest chance to experience a lucid dream.
