I find that making sure the room is still fairly dark in the morning makes it much easier for me to fall back asleep in case i've woken up "too early".
I also started sleeping with earplugs in the last 2 years or so to make sure morning city traffic noises don't wake me up.
And lastly, don't reach to the phone to look at the time, better have a regular clock which doesn't have all that extra stimuli.
I find sleep masks help me to get the full 8 hours. Without being able to sense light, I guess my body assumes it should still be asleep and I usually don't wake up early. It doesn't work every time, but it works often enough for me to try to stick to it.
