How to Adjust a Cat's Sleep Schedule
1. Address Any Health Concerns
2. Burn Off Energy
3. Establish a Bedtime Routine
4. Consider a Timed Feeder

Content: Older cats may also increase their cat sounds at night because they cannot see as well, so consider leaving some lights on when you go to bed. Also note that at certain life stages, a cat waking up at night is actually to be expected. Kittens, for example, have lots of energy to spare! 2. Burn Off Energy
Your cat may be waking you up at night simply because they want to play. They probably slept the entire time you were at work—after all, it’s boring to be all alone! Now that you’re home, they think it’s playtime. Despite a reputation as a solitary animal, many cats love to play and interact with humans and other animals. If you’re suffering through a lot of cat yowling at night, be cautious about giving your feline attention at 2 a.m. When you give cats the attention they desire—by petting them or rubbing their chin—it reinforces the behavior. Playing active games with your cat during the day is a great way to burn off their energy and give them the attention they crave.
