For lucid dreaming you need to practice remembering dreams and one of the techniques is to wake up several times a night. HOpefully during REM periods.

I've done that for some coupld of months. And I've been able to remember tons of dreams now but when I wake up . It's hard to go back to sleep so I've been unable to sleep as much as I need to.

Example:
Go to sleep at about 10pm, wake up at 3am.. close eyes and try to go back to sleep but can't.. even after keeping eyes closed for 1 hour.. still not asleep.. so sometimes I just give up and wake up and do hobbies.

So insteadf of 8 hours. I sleep like 5

Why do you carry on this regime for remembering dreams. Proper sleep is necessary. Remembering dreams is not.
