Suggestion. Dont try to wake yourself up during REM sleep, thats when you want to stay asleep . You wont go lucid if you wake up but when you do, get stuck into the dream journal with everything you remember of any dream.
As for the alarm, if you put the alarm away from your bed so you virtually have to get out of bed to turn it off, you should form the habit of waking up more easily with the alarm. (PS. And NEVER hit the snooze button).

Regards and best wishes.
