What are some ways to discourage a Maine Coon Cat from waking me up at a set time every day?

My Maine Coon Cat repeatedly wakes me up around 2:30am est by sitting upright and scratching the side of my dresser repeatedly. When I wake up, I snap my fingers once and he comes up onto the bed and is extremely cheerful and happy to see me. While it was adorable at first, it has gone on for a month now. I am wondering if anyone has some ideas to discourage this behavior, possibly move the dresser, or play with him more before bed to tire him out for a good night sleep, though cats are nocturnal by nature. I’m open to suggestions.
