Stopping cats from waking me up

I have 2 cats that get fed a can of wet food every morning. They cannot wait for the can so every morning they do everything they can to wake me up starting at 3:30am. One claws at my face, the other one knocks things off my dresser, they meow in my face..etc. I have tried shutting my door and they continuosly pick at the door until I open it, I have a spary bottle and spray them with water and that doesn't work. I put a baby gate in front of my door and they knock it down. Ive tried locking them in another room and they pick at that door and destroy it. What do I do to get them to stop waking me up at 3am for food. They don't stop until I get up and I am exhausted everyday. Also, they have full bowl of hard food and water available all night

Stop feeding them the canned food in the morning. Transfer the canned food to the night meal.
   
For 3 days, feed them only dry food at both meals. Then start the canned food in the evening, continuing the dry in the morning. They'll realize after a few days that the wonderful stuff isn't going to happen in the morning, so there's no point in waking you up.
   
Also: a full can of food per cat is WAY too much. If they're getting a half-can each, it's alright. If they're getting a full can each, cut it in half.
   
They also should not have a full bowl of food available all the time. This is an invitation to creating fat cats.
   
The average indoor cat does not need more than 1/4 cup of dry food twice a day. [My cats are on diets, so they get only 1/8 cup of dry food in the morning & half dry-half canned at night. This is based on instructions from my last vet (before I moved) when I had different (overweight) cats.]
   
Consult with your vet as to the right amount to feed a cat of their weight class. Cats are not smart enough to avoid overeating. They are likely to get more lively & energetic on the diet.
   
Feed them in strict amounts twice a day, with about a half-teaspoon of dry kibble (or some tartar-control treats) at bedtime for a snack. My cats get fed at about 7:30am & 8pm, w/an 11pm snack.
   
Get them used to the schedule & the amounts. Add cat vitamins to their diet; I like Vetri-Science Nu-Cat vitamins (240-count bottle, abt $13.00 online, does 4 per day per cat/2 morning, 2 evening). Cats love them, they think they're treats.
   
You have to take control of the cats. They're bossing you around.
