Many articles and people recommend sleeping in full sleep cycles, so that waking up feeling alert is easier. However, when setting the alarm clock, how do you decide when you'll be waking up?

If I'm closing my eyes at 12:00AM, and set the alarm for 7:30 (5 sleep cycles), what happens when I don't fall asleep right away? What if it takes me 5 minutes? 15 minutes? 30 minutes? How do you account for this?
