I wake up at 6AM like this person. I go to sleep around 10PM. Honestly, the best approach is to wake up at whatever time every single day even on weekends and then get to bed when you are tired after 7PM. If you keep doing this you will naturally find your appropriate bed time after about 2 weeks. Most people just botch this because they sleep in on weekends and destroy their body's attempt to set a cycle.

Yes. Earlier in life, especially before having kids, my job required me to be up closer to 5:00 and then on weekends my wife and I would sleep until maybe 8:00. That back-and-forth every week, trying to get back into the routine on Sunday night into Monday morning, was terrible. Now I'll get up at 6:00 and run even on holidays.

Starting to get up early will just suck for the first couple of days. I think there's no way around that.
