David,
I was initially adding 30 minutes to the beginning of each sleep period, just to fall asleep. This amount has gradually reduced, so it isn't as bad as it sounds. I can now pick the best time to have the alarm go off based on how tired I feel, so if I tell myself 'fall asleep in 10 minutes' I'll fall asleep within 8-12 minutes.
Give yourself too much rather than too little time to just fall asleep. You'll probably wake up after n cycles anyway.
