You don't need an alarm at all to DEILD. You need to become concious of your nighttime awakenings. Everyone wakes up after every REM cycle. You usually fall asleep within a second or two and don't remember anything about it when you wake up, but you DO wake up every time. To be able to DEILD you need to become aware of those awakenings. Realize that you DO have them and set the intention to recognize the awakenings. That's all you need to do to recognize those awakenings. The next step is to lie completely still during the awakenings and then to fall back into REM. I'm not going to go into too much detail about going to REM because I'm not an expert on that subject, but there are a few good threads that can help you with that. With DEILD it goes a LOT faster than with WBTB-WILD, and you usually don't even recognize the SP.
