Set your alarm clock early

Here's a little lesser-known trick about the lucid dreamer community. Set your alarm clock to wake you up about 5 hours after you have fallen asleep. This is when your REM cycles start to kick in and you start having the most vivid dreams of your sleep cycle. This is one of the lucid dreaming techniques to try at least once because if you wake up during a dream you are more likely to remember it. Try this when you are trying to have your lucid dream. It's not good to always try this every day as it will leave you restless from having woken up every night during your REM sleep cycle.
