today we're gonna be talking about a new technique that I haven't covered before
called the cat's technique cat method the cycle adjustment technique and as the name suggests
this is going to involve slightly changing a sleep pattern in order to have lucid dreams at
a time in the night where you're most likely to have them and it works by sort of tricking
your mind and it plays into your circadian rhythm which is the way you naturally fall asleep based
on sunlight and darkness so let's just get into it this technique was created by somebody called
Daniel Love which if you don't know he's a very prolific lucid dreamer he's released berkel to on
the subject and he has his own website and it's doing all sorts of really good stuff the lucid
room and community he sort of made this technique is mainly for beginners because it seems to work
really reliably even if you haven't had success with other techniques so what I'm gonna do on
a put a link to his book in the description which you can check out later but so for now let's just
get right into the technique and explain how it works so it's a two-step process and firstly I
should mention that this this sort of works in tandem with your your reality checks and writing
the dreams down with they sort of go with every technique so they're sort of standard they're like
the foundations you need to have for any given technique to have the best chance of success right
so if you're gonna try this make sure you're doing the basic stuff first so the first step is you're
going to reset your natural circadian rhythm or your body clock and the way you do this is that
you've set a wake-up time let's say 8:00 a.m. or less let's say 6:30 a.m. and that's going
to make sense with an example in a minute so 6:30 a.m. you're gonna wake up at 6:30 in the morning
every single day for a week or two and when I say we can see I don't mean you can miss a day I mean
like every single day for the two weeks don't don't cheat on that because it won't you know
if you cheat you won't better make it work later on so you gonna set your alarm for 6:30 in the
morning get up it exactly the same time every day and after a couple of weeks depends you know each
person it will take a different amount of time it's gonna take a week or two you'll find that you
naturally start subconsciously getting to wake up at that time and that's how this technique works
you're in a trick your body so your body will get used to the wakeup time of 6:30 and at that time
or just before that time you're going to start automatically producing these wake-up hormones
which are these hormones your body produces just before you normally wake up to sort of raise your
consciousness out of sleep and getting ready for the the waking day right so it prepares for this
prepares to wake you up before you actually wake up so the time given uh normally do that it's 6:30
you're going to do that for a week or so and then you're gonna suddenly switch and you're gonna have
what you're gonna do one day waking up at 6:30 then the next day waking up later at 8:00 a.m.
then the next day 6:30 then 8:00 a.m. and you're going to switch so that each day you're waking
up at a different time so you're gonna alternate 638 638 and the reason it's 90 minutes apart is
because that's a sleep cycle that's the length of the average sleep cycle and what is what this is
gonna do is it's going to make sure that when you're just about to wake up your your mind is
gonna be ready to wake up so you're gonna have to wake up hormones going through your body but
the alarm won't go off every other day so you're sort of tricking your body so it's secreting these
hormones to get ready to wake you up for the alarm doesn't go off on every other day and what that
means is that you enter a state where you've had your deep sleep you you're in the stages of the
morning where you're having your REM sleep a lot but the alarm doesn't go off but you've got all
these hormones getting ready to wake you up which increase the chances of you becoming looser but
notice how the technique works basically so the important part with this is you need to expect
always to wake up at the earlier time so you need to every time you go to bed you need to expect the
alarm to go off sex even though it's not going to go off a half 6:00 every other day right so that's
how it works now a few tips on this is firstly you should make sure you reset the this des cycle
I guess you could say that's the pattern every couple of months because otherwise the body will
get used to the alternate time you'll find that you do your body and your mind are fairly smart
right so eventually they're going to get your minds gonna get used to you alternating the wake
up times and it's going to start producing to wake up hormones before the earlier time and before the
later time so you need to reset the cycle every few months by going back to doing a week or two at
the same time so that's it pretty much if you get tired during doing this technique if you find that
you you don't have energy during the day or you're finding it's hard to like go through the whole day
without having a nap then maybe just give it a break for a month or two because obviously some
people don't react well to changing their sleep cycle every other day it's not technically it's
not natural but if you want to loose a dream this is a great technique it's going to work it's very
effective for a beginner and yeah I've had great success with this I love it so anyway like I said
