Is there a way to increase the battery life of the PinePhone?

All it has been doing is turning itself on every 5 minutes, and heating the room. No apps are open, no calls, no nothing. It didn't use to do this - I used to get around 8 to 10 hours on a full charge, same as you. At some point it stopped suspending, and started waking up every 5 minutes, and that has ruined the battery life.

Removing the SD card might help, as I was told elsewhere.

In my case that indeed was the problem:

Without an inserted SD card the phone sleeps like a baby again.

If you cannot do without an SD card, downgrading to Kernel version 5.13 or 5.10 seems to help.
