Here are some tips to help you with lucid dreaming, taking into account your fluctuating sleep schedule:

Set a clear intention: Before going to bed, remind yourself that you want to have a lucid dream. Visualize yourself becoming lucid and practicing reality checks within your dreams.

Practice reality checks: Regularly perform reality checks during your waking life. This will help you recognize when you are dreaming. Some common reality checks include:

Adjust WBTB for your sleep schedule: Since your sleep schedule is inconsistent, it may be challenging to perform the Wake Back To Bed (WBTB) technique precisely. Instead, try to wake up naturally after about 4-6 hours of sleep, or after a vivid dream. You can also use an app that tracks your sleep cycle and wakes you up during a lighter sleep stage. Once you wake up, stay awake for 15-45 minutes before going back to sleep. Engage your mind with lucid dreaming content or meditation during this time.

Try the MILD technique: The Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams (MILD) technique involves setting the intention to remember you are dreaming before falling back asleep. After waking up from a dream (during the WBTB period), focus on the dream and tell yourself, "The next time I'm dreaming, I will remember that I'm dreaming."

Maintain a regular sleep schedule: Although your sleep schedule is inconsistent, try to maintain a more regular pattern whenever possible. Consistent sleep schedules can improve the overall quality of your sleep and increase the chances of experiencing lucid dreams.

Relax and meditate: Relaxation techniques and meditation can help improve your mental state and increase your chances of having a lucid dream. Practice mindfulness, deep breathing, or guided meditation before bed.
