Try having her sleep in a crate until she gets the idea that she should sleep till you get up. Also try picking up her water around 8 pm. That way she might not need to go out so early if that is what is getting her up.

If it's just "her" schedule, try making her wait 15 min. longer every few days. Tell her "no, go back to bed".

We expect my dogs to conform to our schedule mostly. And yes, at times one will need to go out at an unexpected time. That doesn't mean everyone gets to go out though.
