I don't think so, if it helps you sleep it should help you get into a dream, but I think you'll have to confirm that for yourself.

So in fact I have two problems:

Only being able to LD on weekends/other times where I don't have to get up early;

and losing my dream extremely quickly because I'm almost too aware of falling asleep.


What can I do to treat these?
I guess you would have to change your schedule or start waking up at different times. As for losing your dreams it takes practice to get good at finding the balance of awareness, you just have to persist and try to stay distracted.
