The Necessity Of Reality Checks Ld4All

Hello. I'm new to lucid dreaming and I have been trying to have a decent one for 2-3 months now. For all this time I have been doing reality checks daily, sometimes less sometimes more. For the last ~3 weeks I've been doing them quite a lot, maybe 20 per day. The problem is that I don't see what's the point in them. I have had a couple of very short lucid experiences where I have woken up right away. None of these "realizations" have come via a reality check but rather something like MILD. I just feel that reality checks are no use to me because the habit doesn't seem to transfer into my dreams. Besides, they take a lot of effort and interrupt me if I'm studying for example. Do you think I should keep doing them? Is there more in them than I see? Thanks
