There are bedside rugs with alarms, if he gets out of bed and stands on rug, alarm will go off. But I think your idea of keeping him up later at night so he doesn't get up early is good maybe have him watch tv or movie or work on a puzzle, but also the daylight is earlier these days, maybe get blackout shade for his windows. All the best.....

Thanks Victoria
I have been keeping him up later and he hasn’t awakened so early and woken me up again. We are taking our dog out together for nice sunset walks by the Hudson River and after that I can get him to stay up for about another hour or episode of Law and Order (his favorite). Your rug alarm is a nice suggestion perhaps for later if he really tries to leave the house.
