Simple ... find a way to keep them awake all day so that they sleep at night
too. :]

If someone is home ... bug *them* when they are trying to take their
cat-naps.

If no one is home in the day, give them something to do, have something make
a periodic noise (maybe amplify your "I just got an email discussing
netiquette" chime in your email client and leave it on) or get a dog to
terrorize them all day :]

Just a theory as I currently have no pets ... but I grew up with them so am
familiar with the cat-stepping-all-over-your-head-too-early-in-the-morning
phenomenon ... although I don't think there is an ideal time for that.

 ... now back to our regularly scheduled program.
