AITA for wanting to know if I'm being picked up?

AITA for being upset about this situation my brother presented me? So for context, my brother came in and asked me to wait to call him when I am getting picked up from work, for 10 minutes because he doesn't want to lose an hour of sleep. My brother gets up for his shift at 8 and I call him at 7 when I get off. Before I call my brother I always call my mom because she is the one who is supposed to be picking me up, however she has probably 2/3rds of the time been asleep still and also she has a bad habit of turning off her ringer and not answering her phone.

To remedy this I have been calling my brother when she doesn't pick up to check if she is asleep/on her way and about 1/3rd of the time she has been awake and on the way. So I was confused about why he would be tired if I'm calling him right before he gets up anyway, and he said he's been going to bed later and later times so me calling him cuts into an hour he needs to sleep. And while I do feel bad for disturbing him I always call her first and most of the time she has been asleep and I don't really want to walk home with a fractured toe after my shift and the way I see it he should be more responsible and go to bed at a reasonable time.So even if I called at 7 he is rested and refreshed from his shift since his about to get up for his next one, and I think he shouldn't even be asking me to alter my schedule and should be just asking her to answer her phone but ultimately I do feel l am being self centered by not waiting the simple 10 minutes, but if she's not up then I'd have to wait another 10-15 and all that and then drive home it's just not something I would like to do knowing I want to and could've been home to start my rest period....sorry for the rant please provide honest feedback
