Thanks! Trying hard.

As for last night's progress, recalled absolutely nothing. Slept at 11:30 PM, awake 9 AM. Moving forward, practicing awareness to maximum of what I could do. For dream recalls, of course. Tonight will be the night.
My personal recommendation with awareness is to start out slow. Begin with trying to recognize times that you've "zoned out" and gone on autopilot. Try to hold on to that "tuning back in" moment for a little bit, but gently, don't force it. Be happy when you "come back "to yourself and start paying attention again. Do not be frustrated when you lose attention/mindfulness, as it is normal. It's OK to have "maximum effort" days once in a while, but not all the time, you don't want to burn out. Generally, one of the key words in LD practice is "balance," finding the balance that works for you.
