We already wake up after each REM is over, we just don't notice it. So you may train yourself to start noticing these awakenings. Just thinking about this will give you better chance at noticing it. A mantra like : "when I wake up, I stay still" can help.
Or, you can set your alarm (one that rings for a few seconds and then stopps by itself) to wake you up, when you are most likely in REM. You can estimate the time this way: Each sleep cycle is about 90 min long and it starts with NREM and ends with REM stage. The longer you sleep, longer the REM stage becomes. At the beginning of sleep it could be just 10 min long, but after 7-8 hours of sleep is much longer.

I have not noticed any tiredness from a lucid dream. If anything, I woke up happy, exhilarated and full of energy.
