One of my favorite methods of lucid induction is the FILD method, however lately I have been having problems waking up naturally. Now I am trying to find a way to do FILD without having to rely on waking up in the middle of the night spontaneously, and have an idea.

What I want to do is to wake up from an alarm, and then going to bed with the intent on waking up 5 minutes later, with the intent to FILD upon re-awakening.

This sounds like it should work, and if anyone has done this or wants to try it tell me your results.

Also, I do things like this on occasion when I turn my alarm off instead of snooze and want that last 5 minutes, but I feel like I can improve. Sometimes I don't wake back up, sometimes I do, and sometimes I take too long. If anyone has their own way of waking themselves back up after they fall asleep, please tell me. It can be a position you lay down in, or whatever. Right now what I am doing is slightly embarrassing and I'm not even sure how well it works.

Anyway, though I have used this to wake up before my buss pulls up, now I will try to use it to get lucid. Good luck to anyone who tries to use this.
