 Today's question is from our buddy Cyrus and he's saying What is the best technique the wild or the way back to bed or a combination of both of these techniques? And firstly, let's just appreciate this lighting. This is the new lighting softbox I've been using In a few of my videos not all of them and also bear in mind this background. This will improve So this little cardboard thing here will be like a collage of pictures and places I want to go these drones will be more neatly arranged and I'll do something above here as well And also, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about the door because that's kind of a bit of a Bad aspect of my background. But anyway, so anyway in this video Wild versus wake back to bed now before I can really compare these you have to understand the differences So wild in this will be quick. I promise wild is waking to sleep to dream Which is involving keeping your mind awake while your body falls asleep a wake back to bed is doing exactly that But doing it at a certain time So with a wake back to bed you set your alarm to go off after six hours of your regular sleep And you're aiming to target your REM sleep your rapid eye movement sleep Which happens usually about three between three and five a.m. In the morning All the way up until eight a.m. Depending on your sleep cycles and obviously when you wake up So we can conclude then that wake back to bed is essentially wild but done at a certain time So sorry to ask like which one's most efficient Well I'm gonna tell you the truth the truth is the wake back to bed is the most reliable Simply because you're targeting your REM sleep, which is when you're most likely to lose a dream And you're using the wild during your REM sleep So technically you're already using both of the techniques when you use the wake back to bed It's just going to be more effective when you do it at that time because you're targeting your REM sleep Now that's the most effective. However, that is not the one. I would advise to use all the time simply because Simply because I've spoken about this before like the way back to bed technique does involve interrupting your sleep So you're going to be the way it works is obviously you set an alarm to cut your sleep in half And interrupt your sleep and then you go back to sleep and then hope that you'll lose a dream when you go back to sleep But by doing that because you're interrupting your sleep. It's like I don't know me personally. I don't like interrupting my sleep in that way I find that if I do that I'll feel tired the next day You know the next morning because I have cut my sleep in half I don't feel like I've had as good of a night's rest if that makes sense. I'm sure others are the same as well It's just not a long-term solution for lucid dreaming like it's good and it works. It's reliable But compared to other more natural methods like compared to the the dialed or the mild Or even just like spontaneous lucid dreams using reality checks and awareness and meditation and stuff like that I feel like they're most effective over a long term You can't do a wake up to bed every single night What will happen is you'll interrupt your sleep and you'll just feel terrible You'll feel tired the next day. You won't want to do it You won't want to carry on learning and the whole thing is just going to fall apart So yeah to answer the original question Cyrus They're pretty much the same technique wild and wake about to bed The only difference is that the wake back to bed is it is done at a certain time in the morning So it's like you wake up and then go back to sleep as opposed to just doing the wild when You first go to sleep in the evening.
