Free roamers lose all the excitement of exploring and new things. These cats are as stimulated as they were when they were kittens.

Try this, cut your cat off from one of his favorite rooms, half-day day whatever it takes for him to beg you to go back in there, and then when he goes back in put a new toy in there, rinse and repeat cut off new toy and make a game out of it keeps them on their “hunting” toes and they love it.

I think I understand now. You are actively stimulating your cats to be inquisitive and keep you awake all night with their exploring. If you weren't over-stimulating them they would sleep peacefully in your bed the entire night.
