My personal tip though would be don’t sweat it. RCs help of course but they aren’t required to trigger an LD. Below is a guide I use/used to use to help LD and (to sum it up) it basically just stresses that recording your dreams to increase your DR will eventually lead to natural LDs. I’m not sure any of my few LDs have actually been triggered by a reality check, it’s just been the case where I’ve spontaneously realised I was dreaming. Give the guide a read if you get the time.
Only problem you can possibly have with this is being too tired to record your dreams when you wake up.
