Morphology
The meaning 'a person who wakes up easily and early' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'natural' (instinctive/usual) with 'riser' (one who rises). This is a regular adjective + noun composition following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase natural riser may come from the image of someone who gets up like the sun or a rooster, naturally and 'without an alarm'. Here natural means by nature and riser is someone who 'rises', so the term now means 'a person who wakes easily and early'.
