My kitten attacks our faces while we sleep!

Hello,
I have a 3 month old kitten, she loves to play- a lot of the time its roughhousing. My boyfriend and i used to let her cuddle with us when we first got her but she started waking us up in the middle of the night by jumping on our faces or biting. Now we do not let her sleep in our room at night... But she meows relentlessly at around 5:30-6 every morning and won't stop until i get out of bed and cuddle her a while. When i say 'won't stop' i mean it... I try ignoring her but she can go on for hours. Help!!! What should I do?

She is lonely and it is morning in her mind.  You will need to ignore her or allow her into your bed.  Maybe she is hungry?  Does she have access to food or she is fed on a schedule?  If you do play with her or get up with her she will expect you to do this each and every day.  Cats do not know weekends!!  If you think she is hungry, you can invest in a food timer that will open or drop food at a specific time.  You also could put her in a room of her own at night where you cannot hear her cry.  Just be sure she has a cozy bed, access to water as well as a litter box.  You could try playing some soft music for her.  A feliway diffuser might help too.  She is still very young.

Yes she's very young and impressionable. Letting her in only makes things worse. Wait it out or let her in are your options, unless you give her a room.

Hey there! Thanks for replying!
It's definitely not hunger or thirst she has a food dispenser and her own water fountain. My boyfriend says that letting her sleep with us is out of the question until she gets out of her 'attack everything' phase. The other room idea would be great but we are in a 3 1/2 apartment and don't have a spare room. But I could definitely try playing some music for her. If i ignored her long enough would she develop bad feelings toward me or feel i abandon her? She is my baby and I feel so bad when i ignore her!!

Something else that comes to mind is your kitten's energy level.  Some kittens/cats are naturally high energy and require extra attention.  If she gets enough exercise during the day, nighttime won't be such an ordeal for you.  Wear her down with a couple of vigorous play sessions, one before bed, where she's zooming around and jumping.  Wand toys were made for exhausting cats!  (Put them away out of reach when playtime is over; kittens should never have access to anything with strings or wires.)  Popular wand toys are Da Bird, Cat Catcher, Neko Flies.  When they plop down and stretch out on the floor or give the toy token swipes, they're good and tired.  I need at least 30 min. at night to get my kitten crew worn down (of course it takes longer because four of them are usually taking turns chasing the toy...unless I have one in each hand). 

I don't know how catified your home is, but other ideas for wearing her out are: cat trees, floating shelves she can jump around on (glue carpet remnants to them for safety), motorized toys (mine are particularly fond of the kind that move in random patterns beneath a circular cloth), the kind with balls on tracks.  Catification is a great boon to playtime: you can use wand toys to get her bouncing around vertical spaces as well as running around the floor. 

More time spent stalking/chasing/catching prey will address her play aggression, as well.  I promise she'll be more contented at night if she gets more exercise during the day.

That's a great suggestion! Thanks a lot. I'll try and wear her out throughout the day and before bedtime. 

(Maybe not right now thought because she is currently taking a nap on my computer desk hehehe )
