Antes de Vs Antes que

Is the correct form
'antes que + subject pronoun' or 'antes de + prepositional pronoun'

Mis padres se levantan antes que yo / tú.
Mis padres se levantan después que yo / tú.

Mis padres se levantan antes de mí / ti.
Mis padres se levantan después de mí / ti.

Many thanks in advance.

For this case, yes, it's correct.

Some prepositions need these pronouns.

Thank you, AngelicaDeAlquezar.
So, are both 'antes que yo' and also 'antes de mí' correct here?

Yes.
And "se levantan antes de que yo despierte".
