Okay, when you wake up at the same time every day your mind automatically starts waking you up before it because it is bad to be woken by it. So to start I would just use that as a help. Say you normally wake up at 7, set your alarm to 7:05 and when you go to sleep 7 over and over. After a week you should be waking up at 7. Next try picking a random time in the night, like 3. When you go to sleep think it over and over. You should wake up then after about a week. When you wake up this way it is easier to get back to sleep, so you don't need to worry about it unless you often have insomnia. After a while you should just be able to think "I want to wake up at 4" once before you go to sleep and you will wake up then. Or think "wake up every REM cycle." And you can move onto a different mantra after you get waking at certain time down.

Note: less effective if you aren't sleeping enough. Always set an alarm as back up for work and things like this.
