You could obviously choose to take the pill one night, and not in another. But if you had to choose between having lucid dreams or having 20 extra years, what would you choose?
I'd choose dreams!
DREAMS FTW!
Even if you had the maximum amount of lucid dreams possible 100% of the time, that would still amount to something like 4 hours of dreaming per night due to REM sleep only taking up a percentage of sleep. Then as you say, one can choose not to take the drug if they wanted to experiment with lucid dreaming.

As someone who finds it extremely difficult to have lucid dreams (something I find ironic given the level of control I have over them them when I do), I'd gladly take never having to sleep again unless by choice over the alternative.
