Had my first lucid dream

Experience

Stayed up until 2, tried to fall asleep but couldn’t. Got up to play video games from 3am -5am, finally went to bed around 5:30am. Left youtube videos playing and actively tried to listen to it while I fell asleep. Next thing I know, I’m able to type in a computer the dream I want to have. It’s hard to remember what I did and I’m a software developer by day so that’s probably why there was a computer. I just remember it being really awesome, but not restful sleep.

Pretty cool way to trigger it though, actively listening to youtube videos after staying awake way too long.
