When we dream
Why early morning is the best time for lucid dreams.
FinallyLucid Team
Sleep runs in cycles of about 90 minutes. At the end of each cycle comes a dream phase, REM sleep. That’s where dreams are most vivid.
Dream sleep (REM) Other sleep stages
At the start of the night the dream phases are short, toward morning they get long. That’s why FinallyLucid sets the alarm only after about 5 hours or early in the morning. Then the longest dream time is still ahead of you.
