It's common for cats to be active at night, but there are some steps you can take to encourage a more peaceful sleep schedule. First, try engaging your cats in vigorous play and feeding sessions during the evening to tire them out before bedtime. Ensure they have stimulating toys to keep them occupied while you sleep. Consider closing your bedroom door, so they can't disturb you directly.

Gradually, they might adapt to a quieter nighttime routine. Be patient and consistent with these changes, and over time, you should see an improvement in your sleep quality. If issues persist, consulting with a veterinarian for further advice could be beneficial.

Hate to break it to you, but being a cat owner means that the cats own you. There really is no way to have the cats not wake you up, unless you want to risk losing their trust or having furniture. Most of the time, if you close the door, it does work, but if you have stubborn cats, then it doesn't and you will end up waking up from them scratching the door.

Just shut your door- that should keep them out....Unless your cats can open doors. Then you really just have to deal with it. Seriously, my cats can push down on door handles with their paws and open doors.... The annoying thing is that the lock on my door doesn't work. If it did, then I wouldn't have a problem...
I know! One of my cats can open the attic so we have to put a dumbbell in front of it. I have a keyhole on My door but no key.....hmm....

Kick them out if your room if they're that annoying. If you can't/won't do that, maybe get them a bed and a scratching post? to keep them occupied. I hope this helps!
