If he's an older cat, then get him checked by a vet in case he has a health problem that's waking him. If he's fit and healthy, then it could be your attempts to push him away are rewarding the behavior and so he's apt to continue. It's essential that you totally ignore all attempts to get your attention, which could mean covering your head with a pillow! Unfortunately, the cat's attempts to get attention will get worse before they get better so be prepared to lie still for long periods of time.
