I think you're considering the only route to curb it...put him to bed earlier.
Actually what do you do prior to bedtime? That's really what he's picking up on...your routine. So if you switch it up a bit...by putting him to bed before your nightly routine...that may be soon enough.
You could always get belly bands and have him wear those in the evening.
