Doing this is really challenging if you don't fix your sleep schedule to accommodate this or if you have a social life that happens later at night.

It took me half a year to get to a point where I can wake up at 0600 without an alarm. I used to wake up at all sorts of times before, usually 0900-1000.

I had to do CBTi and wake up at 0600 every day, even on weekends, no matter what time I went to bed. It was rough.

Once I got there, staying up and being social past 2200 became challenging. I'm being extremely selective about when I hang out late now, which is fine for me since I don't have many friends, but I can see this not working at all for someone more social than me.
