      WBTB - How does it work for you?

      I find that if I go to bed fairly tired about midnight and set my alarm for 5:30, I dream and have much better recall. The WBTB tutorials on the site say to stay awake for 30-60 minutes. Whenever I've done it successfully I'm usually only awake for 1-5 minutes. As long as I don't sleep through the alarm I remember the dream about 60% of the time.

      My only ever lucid was a WBTB although I went to bed exhausted (4 hours sleep previous night) and woke up at 8am, falling asleep until 10.

      How long do you stay awake and how successful is WBTB for you?

      1-5 min. is the usual for me. It works great.

      But I'm not very disciplined about WBTB. I won't set an alarm; instead I'll just go back to sleep after I wake up in the morning.

      some people say u should stay up for 15min to a whole hour so your conscious enough to succesfully complete the WBTB WILD. but my experiences have just been like AlexLou's. i actually try to WILD when i first go to sleep, and whenever i wake up (i dont need perfect darkness and silence to complete it, since im a teenager and at this point in the morning i can fall asleep real fast) i just take a sip of water from the bottle next to my bed, and work out a math problem in my head. usually using a quadratic equation. nothing too straining. i never even get out of bed. then i attempt it when im done solving for X.
