Do lucid dreams affect restful sleep?

Answer by  cmkekbif (778)

Yes as they tend to be very realistic and make the person in a lighter sleep mode which isn't a restful sleep mode.

Though I have heard several people remark online and through other channels they've felt tired after a particularly intense bout of lucid dreaming. But for the most part normally it isn't a problem. I've personally never had any trouble with it nor have I heard of any difficulties from friends and family who lucid dream.
