As dog's get older - they certainly do require less sleep - just like little babies.
And, of course, since it's getting lighter out earlier - your little pup probably thinks "daytime is here," and wants to get up and get going.
Because dogs still sleep a lot (especially house dogs), my dogs like to get up and then go back to bed....so, maybe you're just stuck with getting up and letting them do whatever they need to do. Darn!
