For years, I was up at 0400 every day except most weekends, waking just before the alarm went off.
A few times I tried setting the alarm a little earlier and I still woke up before it went off. I always feel like I'be being cheated out of a few minutes sleep.
I haven't been able to sleep for 8ish hours or so for over 40 years. I wake up after five hours. I can go back to sleep now for another five. But eight straight though doesn't happen unless I've been up for 20 or so.
I'd like one of those little Star Trek gizmos to stick to my head and set for eight hours. Do that regularly for six months and see how it works out.
Left to my own devices, I'm up until 0400 and sleep until 0900. Then I stretch, yawn, and sleep until 1000 or sometimes 1200. For me, sleeping-in has almost always meant sleeping in two shifts, back to back.
Hitting the gym in earnest may sync me up with everybody I know. But there's something very relaxing about being awake in the late-to-early hours, in the quiet.
