How to stop a cats annoying habit?

Question

I have a young male cat, he's fixed, who has an EXTREMELY annoying habit every morning.

He will wake up around 5:00 AM and start howling. At the top of his lungs. He does this for hours, usually stopping at around 8:00 AM. 
He does this every morning. He's done it since the day I brought him home. At first I lived with my parents, and slept with him in my room (Door was shut) so I would just let him out into the main house. But now I live in an apartment, sleeping with the door open. He has access to the entire apartment, but still insists on howling.

How can I stop this annoying habit? I am open to ANY ideas. Also why do you think he does this?

I don't know if this will work, but try keeping him in a kennel at night. I did that with my cat once, but only because my friend left his dog kennel in my house, I put her litter box, bed, and water in it and she was quiet the whole night. My cat does the same thing as yours, she scratches at everyone's doors while howling and meowing until the morning. I feel your pain.

He's either wanting food water or attention. Possibly even a companion. My cat would do that because she was alone until I got her a friend it took them a little while to get used to beach other after that they were best friends
