I don't use an alarm clock and always wake up around 5-6am naturally, but never at the exact same time, just within that 1hr window.
It makes more sense to wake up when your body tells you to. If you did fall back asleep you'd probably spend most of the time in light sleep and it wouldn't really help much.
Give it 7 more days and it should stabilize. If you find that you keep waking up earlier and earlier (e.g. 5:00.. 4:30... 4:00, etc) then try a 30m bright light exposure 2 hrs before bedtime.
