I've deliberately avoided lucid dreaming because sleeping is the one time I get to 'turn off' my head and not think about anything or *do* anything that requires a conscious effort. I hit the pillow and I'm usually sound asleep until my internal piss clock wakes me up, about 7 hours after I've fallen asleep, my girlfriend wakes me up getting into the shower, the cat starts yowling or my alarm goes off. I never get quite enough sleep, because if I somehow make it past all of those obstacles, the sunlight wakes me up. I can't really sleep past 7:30 anymore. If I try to 'force' the sleep, I get some vaguely deep sleep that makes me feel groggy and get a backache.
In the "spirit" of the thread rather than the details, I wake up in the morning because I'm glad that I still can. I'm not immobilized and can leave my bed, and I'm not dead, so I'd better get up and enjoy the day for whatever it is, because I only have about 14,000 left (if I'm lucky) and I don't get do-overs or an afterlife, so I need to make use of a dwindling resource.
