8-9 hours?! Nice sleep man! Lucid dreaming I assume?
I've always had to sleep a lot to feel my best, frankly i cannot relate to all these other students who routinely get 4-5 hours of sleep. Yes, I am doing a lot of work with dreaming and lucid dreaming...as soon as I gain some more proficiency and mastery I have full confidence that I will be able to use the dreamstate as an ideal medium for creativity, and problem-solving. In addition, dreaming is a vital process in learning about oneself, and can be quite exhilarating. Lucid dreaming happens in REM sleep which only reaches usefull duration AFTER 4-5 hours. REM periods last especially long in the morning hours...a few weeks ago I had a continuous lucid dream which lasted for an entire hour in physical-time. This is one of the reasons I take the effort to schedule more sleep-time and why I'm a bit dubious of poly-phasic sleeping, although I will give it a shot and will keep youu updated as to any success.
