Gently push her away. This is not unusual. She thinks you are her mother. My
one year old cat still kneads my head as he would knead his mother.

 For how long she won't stop 1,2,3:00 in the morning

I think in time she will stop. She may have been weaned too early from her
mother.

Can you put her in another room to sleep? I do this with my cats.

I had a cat who did this her entire life - to age 14.

I bet she was weaned too young. Don't worry about it. It's love.

Ditto.  I had a cat who was weaned too young and she still did this when
she was 5 years old.  Oh, and drooled too :)

It is a common problem with kittens taken from their moms too young.  My
first cat was adopted at a mere 5 weeks of age (I didn't know any better).
