I don’t know the answer to this, but I thought lucid dreaming still counted as getting rest as far as your brain was concerned. I lucid dream about once a month, and I never felt tired after it or like I was missing sleep.

@dogslayeggs no, the brain needs to cycle through four phases. REM only takes up a portion of your sleep. Even if it felt like you were dreaming all night, you likely weren’t.

I think his point is that the REM portion still does its job regardless of if you are lucid or not during the phase.

@Jaded I think you’re right, that does make sense.
