4. 4/23/2013.
Sleep intervals between alarms (hrs:min): 3:30, 1:30, 1:30, 1:30
Minutes stayed awake after each alarm: ~ 1 (or less)
Number of LDs recalled: 0
Number of non-LDs recalled: 0
Alarm type: Interval timer.
Notes: Interval timer worked much better this time. Took Theanine capsule after first alarm went off. Each time I woke up, I tried to write down what I had been dreaming about. But couldn't remember enough to write down. Sometimes I just woke up and went right back to sleep. Probably should at least get out of bed and get back in. Still no recall. Maybe the first time was a fluke. Or maybe it doesn't work if you try it every night. Might be best to skip a night or two between attempts.
5. 4/24/2013.
Sleep intervals between alarms (hrs:min): 5:40, 0:30
Minutes stayed awake after each alarm: 10, 2
Number of LDs recalled: 0
Number of non-LDs recalled: 3
Alarm type: Interval timer.
Notes: Took one Theanine capsule and put on N patch at first wake-up time. Had trouble going back to sleep after the first wake-up time, so decided not to do any more wake-ups. The non-LDs were pretty good, but were probably just induced by the supplements. The WBTB probably didn't help much. But who knows?

Didn't try WBTB last night. Got my silent alarm clock, though! So will be trying that out soon. Should be a useful thing to have. Besides WBTB, could be used to get up at a predetermined time to take supplements.

Tried waking up 45 minutes after going to sleep. My idea was to see if I could recall any NREM dreams. Couldn't recall any.
