I planned ahead for this. She’s got dry food out anyway, and doesn’t get the wet stuff until about an hour into the morning routine, but she does want me to get up and give her attention. So a month ago I set the alarm half an hour later and moved some tasks to the night before. Last night I set the clocks back and also moved the alarm back from 6:30 to 6. Between no alarm and the longer darkness, she was willing to let me sleep the extra half hour.
