The amount of time spent asleep varies; on average, it is less when waking up to an alarm. However, I have noticed this effect when waking up naturally after a shorter-than-usual amount of time, or when setting an alarm for a longer-than-usual amount of time. I find alarms jarring, and that seems to disrupt my memory of any dreams that occurred.
