The best success I've had with lucid dreaming is doing it directly from wake, Feynman style. The cue is when you notice yourself going into sleep paralysis. It only happens to me while sleeping on my back. It feels like an incredibly intense energy going through your body. If you're not aware of what it is, it can really feel like you're going to do if you don't snap yourself out of it. You won't die, you feel this way every night while your senses are disconnecting, you just normally sleep through it. Just relax, let the energy flow through you, and float away.
It can of course be tough to fall asleep on a stimulant, but some chocolate can make it easier to stay awake as you are falling asleep. 3 or 4 squares of 70% dark chocolate works very well for me.
