If you use a mantra to wake up you will almost always wake up during a rem period, if you are using an alarm you might not, but it doesn't really matter because you will probably just fall asleep if you don't enter a lucid.
If you keep up awareness and a stable lucid dream you will eventually notice waking up, when this happens if you go through with it and expect to wake up, you will. From that point on you can DEILD back into a dream.
