Aston is an alarm clock!

Anyone have any tips on how I can get Aston adjusted to daylight savings time. After his first few weeks with us, with our alarms consistently getting everyone up at 6am, Aston has turned into the most accurate alarm clock every. When the weekends come and the alarm is off, sure enough he starts to pace and whine in his crate at 6am on the dot. But now with the time change he's up at 5am! That's too early for me. Anyway to get him switched over to the new time so I'm not loosing an additional hour of sleep every morning?

I was thinking about keeping him up later, but from some past late nights, it doesn't really seem to have an impact on when he wants to get up. He is only 5 months, so I know that once he's up the urge to go to the bathroom can't be ignored. I think it's also a chain reaction. He wakes up and wakes me up, then we I let him out of the crate Allee, 1 year, gets excited and is now fully awake, so they both want to play and go outside. This morning I took him out to pee and then put him back in the crate. He was good for maybe a half hour before he wanted out again. I think once he gets on his new eating schedule, 1 hour later than usual, he'll be okay, but for now, needing to go outside and knowing food should be around the corner is still driving his actions. I just want more sleep.
