I used to be a night owl in college, but sometime in the last 10 years things switched. I'm now waking up around 4:30-5:00 am each morning, and I love it! Yes, I feel like I actually can get a running start at my day. I especially enjoy how quiet it is that early in the morning. I'll drink a cup of coffee and read the morning news. Everyone else is still asleep. It's great!
