When I've closed my eyes in LDs, my dream ends. 
The dream ends in that you wake up?
Try doing this, using whatever your favorite technique is. My favorite technique is focusing on complex patterns once I feel lucidity begin fading. Once I studied the bark on a tree, up close. I looked back out into the dreamscape until I could feel lucidity fading again, then I turned back towards the bark. As I concentrated on the patterns in the bark, focus would become clearer. Clarity would return. Then I would look back out. Each time I did this, clarity would last longer. I would step away from the tree and take a walk within close proximity of the tree. If I felt things were fogging up, I would just step back to the tree.
I 've used the fingerprint patterns on my hand when nothing else was around, I've used a wooden fence, all sorts of things as long as the had a decent pattern. I say pattern, but maybe texture would be a better word.
So, look at your hand in the dream. Close your eyes, maybe just for a moment, open them and reclaim clarity by studying your hand. Don't worry at all about the dreamscape. The dreamscape is nothing. Close your eyes, open them, study your hand. DO NOT THINK ABOUT WAKING UP! Just concentrate on your hand. Close your eyes, still thinking about your hand, open your eyes. Wash Rinse Repeat as needed!
I know there are many different ways LDers maintain there lucidity. I have found this technique great because you can practice spiritual and consciousness growth because of the mind focus. Spinning around in circles doesn't keep your mind focused, etc.
