 What's up ladies and gentlemen now firstly, I'd like to apologize for being away for so long I've been recovering from the flu Which if any of you have had the flu before it's not actually that nice. It's not exactly fun So I've been up for a few weeks. I've then had a few other things going on I've started a new job and I've been very busy, but that doesn't really matter. That's probably boring to you So I'm gonna jump straight into today's video. Okay, which is about a question Which number of you've been emailing me with which is where you've tried techniques such as the finger-induced lucid dream Okay, the wake up to bear the waking juice lucid dream And you find that when you wake up in the morning to try this technique, whichever one it is You find that you're not tired enough to go back to sleep. Okay So the vast majority of these techniques involve waking up early say 4 a.m. 5 a.m. And then going back to sleep With the hope of becoming lucid so either by doing the finger-induced lucid dreaming technique Which is the one I mentioned where you pretend not pretend But when you sort of act as if you're going to move your fingers The wake back to bed technique, which is pretty much all of them So it involves waking up early and then going back to bed and the waking juice lucid dreaming technique Which is where you keep your mind awake as your body falls asleep. Okay, they're very similar all of these techniques Okay, they involve basically setting your alarm for after you've had your deep sleep And targeting your rim your rapid eye movement sleep, which happens in the early part of the morning Okay, and so the vast majority of these techniques involve being able to go back to sleep after you've woken up at that time Okay, enough for most people. This is fairly easy. Okay at 5 a.m. In the morning You're usually fairly tired and so falling back to sleep is not difficult Okay, but for some people and apparently for quite a lot of people actually They're finding it difficult to go back to sleep So this is this is a video for you. Okay, so the first thing I would suggest Okay, is that you need to be tired enough the day before. Okay, so say if you go through your day and you don't really do much Maybe for example, if you have an office related job a sedentary lifestyle where you're sort of sitting around not doing much physically Then you're gonna possibly find it more difficult to go back to sleep when you wake up in the morning Because you know, you won't have done much. You won't be tired Okay, you won't take well you will need to sleep But you won't need it as much as if you had been doing exercise, which is the next thing I'm talking about So exercise is important for a number of reasons. I'm sure you've heard before everyone You know Suggests that you do exercise to improve your mood to improve your energy Okay, so improve the physical, you know the actual look of your body your health overall But it's actually great for dreaming as well. Okay, and the reason for this is because when you exercise You obviously make yourself tired your body needs to recover from the exercise, especially if you do something like Cardio followed by weightlifting. Okay, so this is what I found is really useful what you should do Okay, or what you should at least try if it's if you're having problems with this is to try and incorporate exercise into your lifestyle more So say if you normally work out or exercise one to two times a week try and increase that to four or five Okay, and it doesn't have to be really intense exercise But as long as you're exerting yourself for between 10 minutes and 30 to 40 minutes Okay, so the thing I found works the best with this is to Start off by doing say if you have a gym membership Or even if you don't actually just start off by doing some light cardio. So doing a brisk walk cycling swimming Rowing this this sort of thing for about five to ten minutes. Okay, then have your normal whatever you normally do as your workout It can be anything like it can be weightlifting. It can be more cardio In fact, if you if that's what you do it can be training at your particular sport If you play a sport, you know rugby football, whatever And then at the end maybe finish off with another five to ten minutes of cardio and what you'll find is that this This cardio exercise will actually make you more tired in the evenings. Okay So firstly you're more likely to go to sleep quickly on time in the evenings You're more likely to have a restful and deep sleep in the night Okay And you're also then more likely to be able to fall asleep again when you wake up in the morning and try these Techniques. Okay, so that's the first thing I would suggest to you The second thing and pretty much the last thing I'm going to talk about today is your bedtime routine Okay, so I found that if you don't really have a bedtime routine and you just sort of do you know Maybe you watch Netflix or something or you Lay there, maybe you read or something But you don't have a structure to your bedtime routine and this is you know Like the half an hour to one hour before you go to sleep Then it I found it sort of more difficult to a fall asleep and be have a restful night sleep So here's here's my routine. Okay, and maybe you can try something similar. Maybe it'll work for you Maybe you sort of need to tweak it a little bit depending on you know, how much free time you have What you like to do that sort of thing So what I usually do, okay is I'll finish work I will have have a meal in the evening say about six or seven. Okay, and then I will read Okay, so I'll spend my time either reading or Either a book or something on the computer like a blog article, you know emails or whatever I'll read for between half an hour and one hour. Okay. I'll then maybe Maybe not every night, but some nights I'll have a bath Okay, and this I find this relaxes me much more than a shower does because you know you're just laying there You know warm bath. You can try adding some essential oils to the bath, which actually relaxes you more I like to use for example tea tree tea tree oil and you can pick this up fairly inexpensively at you know, your local pharmacy online Amazon, whatever So having a bath and then I like to meditate and this is really important for a number of reasons Okay, I've been through meditation before I explained why it's good for lucid dreaming. I like to meditate between 10 and 20 minutes Okay, so I'll do this in the morning first thing as soon as I've woken up and then again in the evening just before I'm going to sleep And I find that just just doing that actually if you do nothing else just meditating before you go to sleep Will actually increase your chances of becoming lucid it will make you have a better night's sleep And you'll feel better the next day as well Okay, so I found that having this this routine in the morning and evening really does help me with my energy You know my lucid dreaming my motivation all sorts of things Okay, and I I'm pretty sure it will help you too.
