Should I move the DAT date?

I am currently signed up to take the DAT on the 29th of July but it is at 7:30am and I am scared that I won't be awake enough to take it. I probably have to wake up at 5am and leave house by 6am. My question was that do you guys think I should move the test to August 3rd or I should just suck it up and wake up. I know even July 29th is late so moving it further back will hurt me. I already turned by application in (GPA-3.67) (sGPA-3.40). Thanks for the advice beforehand.

Also I have a wedding to go to that weekend (July 30th - so there is a distraction/family would be over)

I have a similar gpa to yours and my DAT is scheduled for Aug. 9th. I'm not worried its still early enough not to hinder your chances. Eliminating distractions and being fully prepared will help you get better scores so it's worth it to move it.

Move it a couple days later wouldn't hurt. But I'd just suck it up and take it. Waking up at 5 am isn't that bad. Plus you will be done that day at 12 and free to go to the wedding vs. go to the wedding and worrying about the DAT all the time.
