The past month I've been up at 6am, rather than ~9am. As an experiment rather than for any good reason.

What you say about light and stimulation sounds convincing, but for me it was about habit. I was in the habit of ignoring my alarm. I was in the habit of getting up when I needed to, and no earlier.

To start off with, I used an alarm app that wouldn't deactivate until my phone touched my credit card, left in the shower. 'Sleep as a Droid', Strong recommend.
