Reality Check verdict: Yes, the economy has been doing well - but there have been periods when it was even stronger. And there are some indicators that are less good - such as wage growth in real.

What reality checks have worked best for you?
Last night, I woke up 6-7 hours into sleep (to study). Decided I was too tired to work anyway, so went back to sleep (forget what lucid technique this was, had no intention to wake up just to lucid). I'd never been bothered to do this before but the fact that it worked the first time I did it, I might try it again when I have the time to sleep in. Had a fairly conscious dream and tried some reality checks, since I've actually gotten into the habit of doing them while awake.
Firstly, tried putting my right index finger through my left hand's palm; read that it should go straight through. Didn't work, finger stopped at my palm like it usually would. Concluded at that point that I wasn't dreaming, then I tried my second reality check.
Secondly, I blocked my nose; this worked. Despite fully blocking my nose in the dream, I could breath perfectly, this is how I worked out that I was dreaming.
I didn't bother doing any other reality checks; enjoyed flying around a bit. Completely forgot to recreate my own world; I've reconstructed my own dreamspace once to a world I created myself twice, but sadly I didn't think of that yesterday.
So here's the questions:
What reality checks have proven useful to you?
Do you guys have any techniques for remaining conscious or lucid for longer? I usually end up slipping slowly into a normal dream again.
