sleep

10 months is still a puppy and theres a good chance he needs to get outside to potty.  Try getting up and going out with him for a minute, then give him a bone to chew on in there and see if he goes back to sleep.  He may just be wanting your attention.
 
Bailey sleeps in bed with us, shes still only 5 months so we get up with her early to go out then she will usually go back to sleep but if not I get her a bone.... she may chew and then sleep but sometimes not even that.  I find that after all that if shes not going back to sleep  I just ignore her and dont let her out of the bedroom she will eventually come back in bed and curl up with us and sleep (about 10-15 min usually)...
 
I dont know what you can do if he is bored in the laundry room and wants to interact with you.... maybe try the bed..?  But if not I think all you can do is ignore him so you dont teach him that barking gets him what he wants... but do take him out to potty.

I woundn't bring him into bed - that's just a reward for barking in the morning.
 
What does he do before bed?  How many hours is he sleeping?  Does he get an extra dose of exercise in the evening?  A tired dog is a happy dog, and if he's tired, he'll sleep.  If he's not tired, he won't.  Barring any medical issue (a urinary tract infection, or something else that makes him more likely to pee in the morning) I'd say he's just done sleeping and wants out.  IMO, if you want him to sleep more, you need to set him up to need more sleep (put him to bed later, exercise/training more, whatever.)  If you get up and do anything but put him outside and then back in his crate, he'll become conditioned to this as his wake-up time.

When Scout was little he would sometimes cry in his crate to be let out. I wasn't sure if he needed to potty urgently or not. So what Idid was get up, let him out of his crate, take him out to potty and then back into his crate.  He soon learned that crying in his crate only meant he got one potty break and nothing else.  Now at 2 we can sleep in until 10-11am if we want. The key is not giving in once you know they don't need anything.  You have to be firm and not let them out again until a.) you are ready to get up and b.)they are not crying(assuming you've already let him out to potty). 

I agree that the key is to consistantly ignore whining (unless it is to go potty - then it is outside to potty, no talking, no playing, right back in).  Wesley is crated at night, but in our room.  I think that makes a difference, he is with his pack, yes, he is relegated to a crate, because he cannot, for attitude reasons, have bed priveledges, but, he is with his people - and I think that has a calming effect on many dogs (although it might at first mean that the dog goes nuts every time you move - they get used to it, now we can talk, get up, walk around the room - whatever, and Wesley makes no noise until we go to the crate to let him out).  It didn't start this way...  he whined at first - but we steadfastly ignored him and eventually he learned that he gets out when we decide he does, and not a minute earlier.
