I'm usually fully awake before 6am and I get to the office by 8:30-9am

Drink a lot of water before going to bed. Not a crazy amount but enough to make you have to get up and pee in the morning. You may have to experiment with the amounts.

Do something mentally stimulating right when you wake up. I like Duolingo for learning languages, it's got a good mobile app so maybe some language exercises would be a good thing to try. Plus you can do them while still in bed. I'm a math nerd, so some math problems help me out. Once my mind is awake I can never roll back over and sleep.

Before I go to bed, I often write out all the tasks I have on my plate for the next day. I find that it helps me not think about the next day and focus on getting sleep. Not sure if it helps wake up easier but definitely helps me sleep easier.
