Hey everyone,
a while back I started trying to pick up lucid dreaming and soon I was having success with dream recall using a journal and within a couple of weeks also lucidity and prelucidity using mostly DEILD since it came natural to me to use that (dare I say quite simple) technique.
I use nootropics like aniracetam that I believe to be a factor in my successes.
However I have been having difficulties with my sleep/wake cycle for years now, with not sleeping enough or oversleeping (the latter of which can be pretty useless of course and you cannot just compensate like that)...
When I attain lucidity it destabilizes the dream architecture's coherence and there is already a chance of being 'kicked out' (waking from it), which indeed can be a cue for DEILD. But then if the lucidity is used to act all godlike and rewrite the Matrix code of everything that happens... this is more and more detrimental to the stability and coherence.
So far, I am positive I am not saying anything that sounds novel, right?
My question is: do you know if destabilizing your dreams like that is bad for the quality of your sleep? Is learning to attain lucidity AND keeping it stable a sort of investment that may improve sleep quality in the long run?
Is there a middle ground in your opinion, where lucid dreaming can be trained but 'going Neo' is left for the weekends? 
And when you give answers, do you base them on your own experiences or is there research to back it up?
(Because I basically put lucid dreaming on hold for a while until I feel more confident about sacrificing sleep quality every now and then).
Thank you.
