I do use a music alarm for waking up in the morning, but I don't just lie there and listen to it. I either hit snooze, or get up. And anyway, my best recall occurs when I wake up on my own, without any external stimulus. That's why, if I'm intent on journaling, I will repeat to myself as I'm first going to bed at night "I am going to wake up following a dream, and I'm going to remember the dream". This almost always causes me to awaken after a sleep cycle or two (whether I remember anything or not). Then I can journal my dream, have something to drink, use the restroom, maybe read DV a little bit, and be ready to go back to bed, this time repeating "I am going to become lucid in my dream, and have control over my dream". I've been able to have 1-3 LDs per week doing this, if I do it consistently -- but like I said, I do tend to slack off, especially when things are getting stressful in real life.
