If you're crap at turbo trainer it could be.
I'd rater do 3x15 with 5 min inbetween at a reduced power.
Or 6x7 with 2min rest at a lower power.

I hate turbo training. I'm fat so generate a lot of heat. I can still tap out a few minutes of FTP with almost as long a rest interval until the cows come home. That's the point of FTP, it's a measure of your 1hr maintainable power. If you can't do it for 6on/5off without seriously struggling your FTP is too high.
hippy
I don't do outside/inside FTP and properly 'tired' means you won't hit power targets or number of interval target, it doesn't make the efforts 'grim' or 'horrific'. Someone's FTP is up shit creek if 6x7@FTP with 5min rests is 'sheer hell'. The whole point of FTP is that it's what you can sit on for an hour solid.
