I would try taking there water up 3.5 hrs before you are ready to go to bed and take them out several times between then and bed time to see if they will pee. I would also try running them around the property or take them to the dog park or somewhere like that to wear them out so when you are ready to go to bed they will be ready too as they will be tired from all there fun they had.
I see you said they were puppies. We had to run bruno to get her to sleep for us at night when she was a puppy. We also had to take her out once during the night as the vet told us that puppies between 8 and 12 weeks of age can't hold there bladders more than 4hrs at a time so we took bruno out at 9pm or so and let her pee before we headed to bed then we would get up at 1 and take her out again then we would be up between 430 and 5am again to take her out (then she stayed up the rest of the day after that we didn't put her back in her crate). We just laid on the couch and let her play with her toys or go back to sleep whichever she prefered to do. Your dogs might be trying to tell you something to if they are waking early they could be getting bladder infections watch them to see if they start peeing in the house. Bruno has had several bladder infections and the way we knew she had one was she would want to go out constantly to pee and only a drop would come out or if we weren't careful she would pee in the house as sometime she gave us 0 warning that she needed to go out and she would just squat and go.

I also have to say I agree with roxie. They are like having a new baby in the house. I for one don't leave bruno to whine at night. I get up and take her out to do her business because she lets others around me know by barking if i don't get up and take her out when she has to pee or poop. There have been nights even though she is 2 where she still will wake me 1x or sometimes 2x to go out i.e if she is sick or really has to go due to her food not agreeing with her. Right now bruno is working on ear infections in both ears so the last few days shes been very clingy/whiney so I been up with her at night as she isn't feeling good and wants my attention. I am lucky to get 5hrs of sleep due to this. She right now has been sleeping with her paws wrapped around my arm at night i guess fearing i am going to leave her or something and she sleeps right up against me and if i move she starts whining. She has a vet apt this saturday (that was the earliest I could get her in) to get her ears checked out. if it is an ear infection this will be her 3rd one in the 2yrs we have had her.
