ok, im fairly new to lucid dreaming but ive actually had some decent success becoming lucid, however, my biggest problem is this,

whenever i wake up and attempt to write in my dream journal i am simply always too tired to start writing first thing in the morning, ive read articles that say you must write down your dreams first thing when you wake up but i find this very difficult.

ive also heard some people say if you are too tired, just write a few words down then write down more of the dream when you are awake and fresh, while this is good advice, i find myself forgeting some of the dream even when i have written a few words down.

i have also tried using a tape recorder to record my dreams but it just doesnt work for me.

does anyone have some suggestions to help with this problem? i would appreciate it.

thank you.
