I tried to get up early (5am) almost all my adult life. Till I could, after I was a parent.

My key observation is this, no matter how well I sleep, I will wake up groggy eyed, my mind begging me to go back to bed, for my own sake.

I get out of bed as soon as my eyes open unless its before 4am. My mind plays the dirty trick every day, and I have to tell myself, "what good will a few more minutes of sleep do that the whole night could not" and I'm up.

If my head hurts 10 mins after I'm out of bed, I go back to bed.
