Very interesting. I'll have to give this a try. I have tried LD'ing for a long time and had a few DILD's that lasted a few seconds to ten at most. I never feel up to getting up in the middle of the night because I am very busy and usually don't get more than 7 hours of sleep. If I were to wake up 1-3 hours prior to my usual wake up time should I be able to get sufficient lucid dreams in?

I also wake up in the middle of the night fairly often, is this a good time to attempt to initiate a SSILD if the timing is right?
