If we aren't up to feed him at 6 am, we hear a few gentle mews. Than a few louder meows, and then he jumps on the bed and starts batting at me. Anyone who thinks a cat can't tell time needs to meet my cat. He knows when it's 6 am, and he even adjusts for daylight savings.

That's funny. My cat must be from the same litter.
I have found over the years 7 hours makes for a good sleep for me. But Sammy? No. He gets me up early so he can go to sleep. His job is done for the day.
Nape -- unless, as you commented, I have to be somewhere.
I'm an early morning person by nature and years of having to set the alarm for 4:30 or 5:00 AM finds me getting up at that time every day anyway.
Plus one of the cats refuses to read the text I sent him about leaving me alone if I'm not awake by 5:00 AM
I also still have horses to care for so that means early to the barn to feed them, get them ready for turnout, then clean stalls.
That said, unless I have to be somewhere or I have cut pastures or mow, I am ready for a big nap by 11:00 AM. I record the noon news because I'm sure to be sleeping thru it, lol
Just curious since you said horses (not cows or such requiring milking) - is there a reason horses have to be fed early or could they get used to a new schedule say at 8 am rather than 6 am?
