I am stil finetuning the alarm settings to become as less disruptive as possible, which is probably the only problem of this approach. So, i encourage you and everyone who would like to try to prefere to fail by not hearing the alarm, than failing with a noisy alarm.

Then it becomes a matter of simply turning on your alarm at bedtime. It becomes effortless.
You can also map your rem periods and put an alarm right into it

Anyway, congratulations for your efforts and whish you great natural or artificial DEILDs
Natural DEILD should be the goal.
You're right, I'm not giving up yet. I found and set the most gentle alarm I could find, it's so relaxing I had to set it to last 15 seconds with a slightly higher than average volume to make sure I'll both hear it and not be jolted awake. If this doesn't work, I don't know what will..
I also think this alarm business is the only real problem, the only thing after this would be remembering not to move and stay relaxed, which should not be difficult.
