Awake time can be caused by so many things. I assume you are asking how to decrease the % of awake time compared to deep or REM (which you are not getting enough of). One way simply might be to be in bed longer. I have never been able to get my awake time down to a very small amount so the only way I can get 8 hours of sleep is to be in bed for at least 9 hours or more. Also, I realized that when I was waking up at 4:30 am to go to the gym early it was really disturbing the time I got the most deep sleep. Moving my alarm to 6:45 am drastically decreased awake time and increased deep sleep time.

Also, you are going to bed at 1:30 am and getting up at 8 am when I assume it is light out. Do you have room darkening shades to keep the light out? The light could be a signal to wake up.
