Sleep help for a 5 year old

Please help!
I have a 5 year old who likes to wake up at 4:30/5 every morning! He has done this since he was little. I've tried black out curtains, music, change of bed times nothing seems to work! We have also moved his little brother into the same room and he has now starting waking early when he was such a good sleeper. I work shift work and have another baby on the way and these early mornings are killing me! Does anyone have any suggestions that might help!

Teach him to go into the family room and watch TV quietly.
At that age that's what we did as kids.

I agree. Leave some easy, healthy snacks out for them, teach them to put the tv on quietly and let them get up on the proviso that they are not to disturb you or the rest of the family. Not much else you can do.
