head down fresnel challenges

I would like a little help getting past a hump I have met on the learning curve:

I have learned Fresnel, and can do it easily to about 12M, but find head down very hard past that point. To get to 25M without pain, for example, I must invert (head up) at least twice after 10M, which is very tiring and air using, not to mention concentration (or relaxation) busting.

I am diving in cold water, with clear sinuses, and can easily do dry Fresnel. but in the water at depth, things seem so much harder. Any tips?

I should mention that spearfishing, with mind on other things, this seems easier. When I go out without the spear, looking for depth and challenges, I find the problem exaggerated.

Thanks.
