AIBU to ask DH not to get up before 6am?

DH gets up at 6am on weekdays to get ready for work. He leaves 0650 -700 and is at his desk for 8.

Most days he wakes me and the 2yo and occasionally the 4 and 5yo. Our get up time is 0730 and on weekends and holidays we all sleep to then. 2yo generally whines for an hour calling his father.

When He gets stressed at work he starts setting the alarm earlier and earlier so it all kicks off earlier. He avoids me if I try to discuss it with me.

(For completeness I should say he gets home 5pm two days a week to relive nanny although it is possible for him to work evenings On email etc)

Is it unfair for me to request he doesn't wake the household earlier than our previously agreed early time?

Do you have a spare room he can sleep in if he insists setting an alarm before 6am? That might deter him?

Have read through the whole thread and am bored of the number of posters who clearly haven't or who think it's OK for the oh to dictate that everyone wakes up unnecessarily early but the op isn't allowed to have a say.

I wake up every day at 6am. Creep downstairs after a shower and dress in the living room (put clothes out the night before) and then dry my hair downstairs. Don't wake anybody and really careful not to. DH doesn't have to be up until 7:30 and gets DD ready and takes her to Nursery - I just make sure I get up as soon as the alarm goes off. It's really not that difficult.
