I am happy to report a lucid dream induced by this technique
My tips, learned over the last 3 nights of trying this technique-
1) Use multiple times to set off the alarm. I had three times keyed in last night, and only the final alarm (4:30am) induced a lucid dream post-sleep-paralysis.
2) Familiarize yourself with the sound of your alarm.
I used this- "I will wake up, keep my eyes closed, lay still, and enter a lucid dream when I hear this sound" - and would then play the alarm noise I used.
3) Make sure you alarm is not too loud, or too obnoxious. I used the sound of a cat meowing to wake me up the first two nights, but every time I heard it I would think it was my cat and it'd wake me up way too much.
Unfortunately I got very excited and fell out of it extremely quickly, so I'm not counting it as an LD worthy of putting in my sig or adding to my official count. But I am a VERY new LDer so you'd expect my lucids to be fleeting in the first place.
Good luck!
