Depends: If you go to sleep very early, this may be a natural phenomenon. Even if you go to bed at 9 or 10pm that may be all the sleep you need for that period. Get up and read, meditate, or do some other daytime activity for 15 to 30 minutes, then return to bed and see if you really need more sleep. Do not fight this, but stop caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol in your life. Moderate exercise daily. Diet.

Sleep cycle issue.: To reset your sleep clock, go to bed at the same time every night, awaken at the same time every morning, don't nap during the day, use the bed for sleeping (not eating, TV watching, reading, etc), if you awaken during the night, stay in bed until your determined awakening time. Sounds like your sleep clock is off for some reason.
