Does lucid dreaming really take away from the experience of sleeping? One of my past school teachers said that anytime she had a lucid dream she would wake up tired like she didn't really sleep a whole lot. Is this true?

Hello SS:

It is more likely that the periods before and after her Lucid dream (which probably only took up a small portion of her night) was restless, which may have actually contributed to her having the Lucid dream in the first place. Lucid dreaming would actually contribute to, rather than subtract from, the amount of energy a person sponges up during the sleep period. Same for OOB experiences. As we travel, we collect energy like a magnet.

We also need a certain amount of deep Delta to really have a good restful night, and if she was restless enough to induce a longer Lucid dream period, she probably didn't get much Delta.

Cheers!

I give myself extra time when I want to be lucid. Nine to ten hours of sleep a day is normal for me, and the more rested I am the better the quality of my dreams is.

Melatonin helps, too.

One of the techniques I know of is to sleep in a box. The uncomfortable position triggers lucid dreams because it impossible to sleep deeply.

The research also show if you want to have lucid dreams you need to sleep more. It' becomes easier to remember your dreams when you are in a lighter sleep. This also makes it possible to have lucid dreams. They also recommend you do it on days when you Don't have to get up.

So if you haven't finished your natural sleep cycles when you start lucid dreaming then it's probable that you wake up feeling like you haven't slept enough.
