I’ve wondered about this too! Sometimes after a night of lucid dreaming, I feel more refreshed, but other times, I feel tired. I guess it depends on how much energy I’m using in the dream.

I think it varies from person to person. For me, lucid dreaming can be exhausting if I’m actively controlling everything. It’s fun, but I wake up feeling worn out.

I’ve read that lucid dreaming might interrupt sleep cycles, especially if you wake yourself up to gain control. But for others, it can enhance sleep by reducing nightmares.

It’s interesting to think about. I’ve had nights where I felt like I was on a wild adventure in my dreams, and it made waking up feel less abrupt.

I’ve also heard that learning to control your dreams can lead to better sleep habits overall, as you’re more in tune with your sleep cycle.

Ultimately, I think it’s about balance. Lucid dreaming can be a tool for self-exploration, but if it disrupts your rest, it’s worth considering how to approach it.
