Fild

So I've been trying the FILD technique for lucid dreaming, yet I can't seem to catch myself right before I fall asleep to start. I've woken myself up with an alarm clock right after my REM period, and I've tried to use FILD then, but I'm not sleepy enough. Any suggestions?

Use an alarm that auto dismisses so that you don't have to move to turn off your alarm. If you already do, make the alarm time shorter.
