Oh wow...you are living my life.
Usually when Copper gets me up that early, he wants to go out. I take him out (often on a leash) just so we aren't staying out to explore. He will usually go back to sleep. This morning he woke me up early and then about a half hour later when I finally got back to sleep, he came up on the bed and whined at me. I was not a happy camper.
I have his excercise pen set up downstairs complete with potty pads and bed. I may give him a chance to get me up for a potty run tomorrow morning, but then I'm going to put him in his pen so I can go back to sleep and not be disturbed for an hour.
Good luck. This is the only solution I can think of right now.
