I'm going to try out using a timer, but im going to have to set it really late lol when I was very young, I remember I used to have a timer on the tv, exactly when the t.v. turned off no matter how late, I would wake up instantly. @_@

However, I have been able to remember my dreams, and I've been recording them, the only thing I can't get used to doing is the RCs. But I understand that I've got to practice.
