When I wake naturally for a WBTB, it is harder for me to go back to sleep. It is normally right after a good dream, and I wake feeling refreshed, excited, and energized. This is good in the morning, but bad in the middle of the night. Try setting an alarm for a time when you know you are in the middle of a dream. For example, if you normally wake at 4:30am naturally, try setting an alarm for 4:00 or even 3:45. You will wake feeling like crap, groggy as hell. You might even switch off your alarm without even remembering.
Your other option is to just accept it and stay awake for 30 or 45 minutes for your WBTB. Read a little, or do something around the house, if you feel like it is a waste of time. This is what I do. It is better than laying in bed for an hour trying to go back to sleep. If I stay up for 30 minutes, I can normally fall back to sleep easily.
